2025 rocket mortgage classic at detroit golf club: 1st round update

michael kim (67, tied for 26th): playing mistake free golf with 5 birdies & zero bogeys, michael is tryna qualify for the 2025 british open (currently ranked #55 in the world, top 50 receive invitations to royal portrush in northern ireland next month) with a big week here in detroit


ben an (68, tied for 44th): excellent ball striking with 16 outta 18 greens hit in regulation & holing out a 77 yard flip wedge for an eagle 2 on the par 4 13th hole, if the longstick broom putter can heat up ben will move up the leaderboard

collin morikawa (69, tied for 66th): good news: almost holed out for a double eagle on the par 5 17th hole hitting a 276 yard 3 wood to 3 inches for a tap in eagle 3!!...bad news: 3 three jacks on the back nine & made only 42 feet of putts during today's 18 holes (u can do the math)...collin literally missed/shoved every putt to the right of the hole (not releasing/squaring up the putterhead) with miscalculated speed, would love to see kk get more actively involved in reading greens as limbhaust is an elite putter...and yeah **** adam schupak


max homa (71, tied for 108th): driving the ball longer than evah but NOT a happy camper these days

oakland hills south: shocky played the 2035 us open site this afternoon, the gil hanse restoration work is phenomenal & rivals oakmont now in creating american links styled shot values on a treeless site with fantastic donald ross wildly undulating greens, a world top 30 gem and truly one of the cathedrals of golf!!!!

newsflash: unlike arizona the cal athletic department got ZERO financial discipline or a roadmap to balancing the budget, the current bureaucrats intend to just keep borrowing money from the central campus instead of cutting costs/generating more revenues along with just asking everybody to give them more money for sports almost nobody honestly gives 2 ***** about

What a difference in presentation or rather discussion. No nonsense communication. Not the usual fluff and vague talking points that don't seem to have anything to do with fiscal responsibility.

If Arizona of all schools is being this serious, we are in deep doo doo when comparing responsive action.

Well, here's hoping Collin goes through with this huge change and gets back to his winning ways. He's by far my favorite golfer and I hate seeing him struggle so much.

^ dave, the shoddy ****show sure looks like it's over, collin rolled the rock beautifully today for an eagle, six birdies & a couple of glue pars like the 10 footer for a sandy 3 on the tough par 3 9th hole en route to a 25 putt WORLD class round!!

wut wuz the PUTTING adjustments??

1) replaced the blade putter with a spyder mallet
2) the pre shot routine now includes 2 practice strokes with a conventional grip before moving into the pencil grip claw in the actual stroke
3) caddie kk limbhaust reading the putts from both sides & sometimes verbal engaging with his best friend collin with just a couple of words on how he reads the putt...low key simple but effective

yeah, sometimes the difference between WORST in the world & BEST in the world is really just in the eye of the beholder

2025 rocket mortgage at detroit golf club: 2nd round update

collin morikawa (64, tied for 8th): yeah absolutely en fuego muy caliente PUTTING by mr morikawa today in balmy detroit!!...kk is keeping collin loose with low key advice, they are both laughing/smiling in a relaxed/comfortable way that only best friends can do...look at the best players in the world, rory got his childhood buddy from ireland & xander got his san diego state teammate on their bags...real talk: pga pros spend many days (particularly tournament weeks) with more time with their caddies than their wives


ben an (69, tied for 49th): byeong is 100% crushing his drives an average of 323 yards plus driving it accurately (22 outta 28 fairways in regulation)...4 under par on the par 5s thru the first 2 rounds, look for more power game fireworks this weekend!!

michael kim (71, tied for 64th): once again michael made the cut by a stroke despite a closing hole bogey & now gotta opportunity to earn world ranking points this week in his quest to secure an invitation to the 2025 british open next month at royal portrush...a crafty for 10 outta 11 in getting up & down in scrambling


max homa (70, missed cut): max found something on his 8th hole of the day starting to tee it up on the far right side of the tee box & then peeling power cuts into fairways with consecutive laser accurate drives of 332, 328, 343, 296, 321 yards...and then inexplicably on his next hole he teed it up in the middle of the tee box instead of the far right side & lost his driver into the right rough but still got a birdie 4...really think homa can will drive the ball more accurately & play at a high level next week in iowa!!

2025 rocket mortgage classic at detroit golf club: 3rd round update

collin morikawa (68, tied for 10th): great news: hit 17 outta 18 greens in regulation & overall rolled the rock beautifully again today!!...bad news: missed/shoved a 3 foot par putt on the par 3 14th hole for an untimely bogey 4...tomorrow kk & collin r gonna collaborate again in their quest to go low while representing our alma mater


michael kim (67, tied for 34th): message to the cal men's golf team: r u spending a couple of hours every day on developing ur short game??...michael has missed 16 greens in regulation thru 54 holes but has gotten it up & down 14 times (88% scrambling conversion percentage), that's how u get PAID at the next level

ben an (75, tied for 82nd): bladed a 60 yard sand wedge outta bounds & then airmailed the next shot over the green en route to a triple bogey 8 on the scoreable par 5 7th hole, tomorrow will be just a walk in the park for ben before his flight home to orlando

Shocky, we are in agreement that pitchouts to Ott and the Jett should have been the staple of our offense the last three years. Not sure it will be in 2025. We now have bigger, slower backs, bigger OL and small WRs. I'd like to see a jet sweep as a staple to threaten the edges with speed and fake to it to open up holes for the RB inside. It will be interesting to hear more about what our offense looks like in Fall camp.

agreed calalum that ott & the jet's vast talents wuz wasted by a rb coach that's never put anybody in the nfl & predictable wilcox approved offensive schemes but that's all water under the bridge now

cal football is outta time, win now or shutter the program with a fanbase that is running outta patience with mediocrity//conference relegation on the horizon...and no not even curvy brunette yoga females that wanna date & marry cal, stanford & ivy league grads when they enter the real world can change the fact that the bears offense gotta be DYNAMIC (let's be very clear that filipino jacob de jesus wuz the best player on the field in the 2024 la bowl in inglewood) when we travel to oregon state in late august

the key 2 people (along with kicking coach michael frisina) with respects to the 2025 fall season are s&c coach jason novak & cal's MONSTER offensive line coach famika anae as they work together to physically develop the largest o-line in the history of cal football with every trench worker in the playing rotation 315+ lbs!!

There are other RB coaches I would prefer over AT, but the RB coach does not design or call plays.

Ott lead the PAC-12 in rushing in 2023. Same OL, same RB coach, same WR coach. It was the offense and playcalling (and Ott's natural talent) that made the difference.

Wilcox just promoting Bloesch and then sticking with it after the bowl game disaster instead of doing an actual OC search for 2024 was gross malpractice. Once again instead of doing an OC search he has just brought in his friends. Hopefully that finally works out for us.

Still not happy the new staff chased off essentially our entire offense. The Jet was my favorite player.

^ disagree, hall of fame rb coach ron gould inserted himself heavily into playcalling with PITCHOUTS a constant weapon throughout multiple tedford offensive coordinators

aristotle (a tremendous dad) left berkeley a bitter/vindictive person who counseled multiple student athletes to forego life changing berkeley degrees

ucla got the worst offensive line in p4 football (stanford is a close 2nd) & there's a strong probability that jaivian (who wuz my favorite player too) is gonna be seriously injured this fall getting gang tackled on every play often behind the line of scrimmage

Good article on Collin

Shocky1
How long do you want to ignore this user?
good find philbert, there are also 2 other significant changes not mentioned in this article:

1) kk offering low key feedback on his greens reads, this is something that shocky has been advocating for collin to do for years as morikawa is often confused/guessing on his solo reads without caddie input...both of his major championship victories wuz on relatively flat greens at harding park & royal st george

2) modifying his pre screen putting routine with now 2 practice strokes with a conventional grip (which promotes the release of the putterhead) before then readjusting his hands to a pencil grip claw in the actual stroke

Who do you expect to be our starting QB Game 1...?

https://instagr.am/p/CQ6pLcgArQx
dwm, both the 4.4 gpa devin brown (2 years of eligibility) & the 3.75 gpa jaron keawe sagapolutele (4 years of eligibility) got the smarts, height, length, arm strength & leadership skillz to potentially become the next 3.7 gpa stinson beach high school grad standout to lead the california golden bears with NFL upside during the 2025 season

devin got the vast majority of 1st string reps during spring ball but did NOT perform at a high enough performance level to clearly win the job from the early high school entrant jaron...brown attempted 48 passes during his 2 seasons as a buckeye with an average completion yardage of 6 yards (he did not get the opportunity to gain experience throwing the ball vertically downfield) in blow out qb2 duties

there should be a 100% wide open competition starting august 1st to determine who wins the qb1 job at oregon state...shocky trusts rolo & harsin to make the right choice with hopefully wilcox further afar in this critical decision

2025 rocket mortgage classic: 4th round update

collin morikawa (68, tied for 8th): will be fascinating to see who's on collin's bag at the scottish & british opens next month!!...good to see collin's former longtime caddie jj jakovac experiencing success with stanford's michael thorbjorsen

Worse, it encouraged Knowlton and most of the posters on this board to think it was a good idea to "reward" a coach with a losing record and on a losing trend after 5 years with a six-year contract extension because he had interviewed at a rival/his alma mater.

berkeley recruiting is different than almost every school other than stanford & maybe duke/vanderbilt

the low gpa/not seriously academically focused prospects will always be the 1st to flip or enter the transfer portal, honestly neither of these 2 decisions is surprising to me or anybody who faithfully reads the monster
