2025 tour championship at east lake: 3rd round update

collin morikawa (70, tied for 17th): gutty round with a clutch birdie 4 on the architecturally poorly designed par 5 18th hole for our california golden bear with ELITE driving the golf ball (12 outta 14 fairways, 86%) but kinda miscalculated iron play (only 9 of 18 greens hit in regulation, 50%) & once again like yesterday multiple putts lost right of the cup due to not fully releasing the putterhead

weird fashion choice for morikawa wearing all black on a nasty hot as **** humid day with intermittent rain/swirling winds...bogey for kat & koa keeping dad in style

seriously why would anyone wanna live in the deep south like georgia or a ****hole truck stop town in oklahoma if they had the legit option of living in the san francisco bay area with cali weather??

— Hawaii Football (@HawaiiFootball) August 24, 2025

offensively the cards are running the elephant package run schemes of their glory teams tho without future nfl linemen & wide receivers which is compounded by the fact that qb1 ben gulbanson (seeking admission into med school after this season, 15 for 30 for an anemic 109 yards & an interception) is a -1 athletic statue with very limited vertical downfield passing upside (opponents including our staff will put 8 defenders in the box)

defensively congrats to inside backer hunter barth on 4 tackles including a sack, the only other d playmaker for the cards wuz backer matt rose with a relentless 12 solo (13 overall) tackles

one of the most dumb azz transfers in recent times wuz this offseason when former 4.0 gpa berkeley high school (heavily recruited by the bears) wideout jackson harris (6 catches for 59 yards) transferred from stanford to hawaii...when jackson is 30 years old and the valet supervisor at the claremont resort paying bills with tip money he's probably gonna look back at that life changing decision with regret...that's the equivalence of transferring from harvard to oklahoma state or something and a great way to **** up ur future

I think the goal is 0-12 https://t.co/LAL7l6nqVg

https://instagr.am/p/DMGKDK8MKGI
2025 tour championship at east lake: 4th round update

collin morikawa (68, tied for 19th): our bear finished with a flourish with a birdie 4 on the par 5 18th hole after hitting his 2nd shot fairway wood to 18 feet for an eagle look, collin finished the week tied for 4th in driving accuracy & 4th in strokes gained on approaches, the elite ball striking is all there

happy that morikawa as the DEFENDING CHAMPION will be handing the trophy on to a likable tommy fleetwood & not a glacier moving (issued a slow play warning on the back nine & put on the clock) mortuary undertaker like the joyless sad as **** patrick cantlay

one of collin's most endearing qualities is his SMILING (listen to the above bearinsider preseason talent evaluation video re: the importance of this & a lotta specific player insights from jim, greg & paws)

shocky makes fun of the deep south due to its racist undertones, unhealthy deep fried angioplasty lifestyles & lousy as **** weather but the truth is that one of the bears greatest supporters is justin thomas who grew up in kentucky & went to school at alabama...this season justin has been a fabulous friend/cheerleader to max homa in the quest to regain his magic and during collin's 1st week on the pga tour back in the day thomas invited the poly rookie out to dinner at the canadian open to share with him some of the secrets of managing tour road life

yeah justin thomas like rickie fowler (married 4.0 gpa berkeley grad allison) & xander schauffele (des tole me x wanted to be a bear but dad wanted him to stay in san diego) is a ******* honorary california golden bear!!



2025 ryder cup update: captain bradley will announce his 12 person usa team this wednesday at 8:00 am pacific coast time on the golf channel...shocky thinks morikawa (ranked #7 in the world, 4-1 in the president's cup last year & keeps the ball in play as well as anybody that plays golf on planet earth) is gonna be on the team with dual role keegan with the only surprise being maverick mcnealy left off the team for new yorker (dad wuz the head pro at sleepy hollow) cameron young who will be a fan favorite at unruly bethpage black on long island (in speaking with club members in the hamptons they collectively believe there will be major outta control crowd harassment issues for the europeans which hopefully won't happen)

and yeah jt & collin would be a terrific pairing for the american team!!

morikawa has not played in the bay area since his 2020 pga championship victory at harding park with his historical driving the green on the dogleg right lakeside par 4 16th hole, his inclusion on the 2025 usa squad would guarantee his participation in the procore pga tournament at silverado on september 11th-14th (which will likely set attendance records with scottie & the american team utilizing wine country as a team bonding space for players & their significant others and caddies), fingers crossed on this!!

Oh man, he is looking bigger and faster and still smooth. At least from the few highlight vids I have seen. If this portends to his success this season, we are gonna have to fight to keep him.

hairy, hear wut ur saying & agreed taimane is a very special talent coveted by a lotta schools but shocky is very confident that the 3.9 gpa purcell is gonna be in berkeley next summer...the overwhelming # of the occasional bears decommits in recent times have been low gpa silver bullet admissions guys who at the end of the day don't really wanna read books & **** (they will be exploited as expendable gladiators at football factories with no academic component with shaky futures working on loading docks after football), taimane is NOT one of those guys

taimane can see that his brahs 3.75 gpa jaron keawe sagapolutele & 4.0 gpa aiden manutai will be starting in the season opener as TRUE FRESHMEN for the bears!!...real talk: the big generational wealth building payouts in life come from earning a berkeley degree and getting PAID in the national football league

coach harsin back in the day at boise state ran a heavy 2 tight end scheme so it's really important that coach saffell also got a 2026 commitment from austrian off the charts +1 athletic 6'55 252 lbs luca georg wolf who has only played football for 1 year & also gotta nasty physical streak in competition

Loser of your fantasy football league has to play a round of golf with Patrick Cantlay.

— Tour Golf (@PGATUOR) August 24, 2025

**** cantlay#

the end of the summer of 2025 (fall roadtrip to the oregon state fair)#

Concur with your assessment of the Ryder Cup picks. He takes Thomas because of his past record, takes Ben Griffin just based on points, takes Morikawa because his ball-striking is perfect for foursomes, takes Cantlay so he can partner with Xander. That leaves two spots. I don't think he can take McNealy because he already has three rookies on the team in Spaun, Henley and Griffin. Of the guys that are left, I think he takes himself because he needs another veteran, and because he's playing as well or better than the other high non-qualifiers on the list. Lastly, he takes Cameron Young because he played well in Atlanta, and because his distance is also a good match for the team days at Bethpage. If there's a swapout, maybe he takes Burns, who I think played in the Presidents Cup, rather than Young, because of Burns putting. He doesn't take Novak because he's a rookie, and doesn't take Harman because Harman has struggled under pressure in the past.

jeff, agree with ur analysis but think there's a strong probability that power hitting (which is a valuable tool at bethpage black) crowd favorite cameron young is gonna get the magic phone call from the cap while hopefully the unlikeable slow playing patrick cantlay stays home, who r ur euro picks??

roadtrip to the oregon state fair

below is repost from back in the day when the monster (in his role as the cal men's basketball general manager in charge of recruiting, attendance, academic achievement & player fashion choices) & his daughter taylor made a recruiting trip on behalf of cal's monster class to portlandia
______________________________________________________________

taylor & i walked from the nines thru chinatown & past of crowd of 100+ non yoga practicing stoned pale white people waiting outside of voodoo doughnuts & then across the steel bridge over the willamette river to the moda center & back again after the 2015 nike hoop summit...them doughnuts sure looked tasty but if kameron rooks can core out, we can too



it should be noted that the game was played with international rules, 2 of the refs spoke to each other in a an eastern bloc language, with very few fouls & pushing on every sequence...also the game was impacted by selfish guard play that dominated the ball

taylor & i sat on the floor behind the basket & yelled at ivan rabb during warm ups "hey ivan, let's do this" (me) & "go to the bears, ivan" (taylor) and he glanced over with a surprised look ("what are they doing here?) and smiled with a quick nod

we also yelled at jaylen brown, he responded with what could be best described as a laughing smirk

players notes:

ivan rabb: not many touches, competed underneath the basket for rebounds & blocked thon maker a couple of times...started the game with a leg brace & then left the game for good after a vicious poke in the eyes

jaylen brown: what an athlete, the best defender in the game with numerous disruptions of passes...offensively drained shots from all over the court ala patrick christopher during warm ups...nba body with a physical & graceful style of play...like ivan, very unselfish in sharing the ball

alonzo trier: followed up his 6-20 shooting at the mcdonalds game with 4-14 shooting at the nike summit...the arizona commit lacks court vision & jacks up the ball without even looking for his teammates, he's gonna shoot the wildcats out of games next season in tucson...life with the donut boy of tuscon sean miller is gonna be a rude awakening for trier

luke kennard: the best facilitator on the usa team, the duke commit is an absolute pure shooter with a mature shot selection (9-18 fgs) & much quicker defensively than anticipated

caleb swanigan: plays very physically but still needs major s&c conditioning...his low release point shooting form along with limited hops resulted in several of his shots being blocked by the uber high flying bigs on the world team before he was eventually benched

jamal murray: impressive guard from canada with a relentless basket attacking mode scored a game high 30 points...usa guards most notably allonzo trier played fundamentally weak azz d (reaching with arms, not moving feet) in ineffectively trying to guard murray...the canadian guard from ontario is looking to potentially reclassify from 2016 to 2015 and a nike sr executive told me his dad is leaning towards criminal dana altman's oregon ducks

ben simmons: most well rounded player in the game with 13 points, 8 rebound & 8 assists

skal labissiere: the guy nba scouts like the most from the 2015 class, skal scored 21 points along with 8 boards...the kentucky donor we sat by told me that coach cal told him that marcus lee is gonna return to lexington again next season, gotta have them practice players & that skal may not be cleared by the ncaa

brendan glapion: much to taylor's chagrin, the pride of san francisco dnp (primarily because college walk ons are not invited to high school all star games)...sorry sweetie

oregon state roadtrip: that wuz then this is now, corvallis is a HOSTILE venue with the chainsaw blaring thru the speakers, the bears better bring a ******* VIOLENT mentality cuz this game is a REVENGE game for the beavers!!

oregon state is still ANGRY that cal & stanford joined the eastcoastie acc & the embarazzment of last fall's 44-7 beatdown in berkeley, bears fans pointing at last year's score as an indicator of the talent gap between the 2 programs are clueless as **** as more than half of the beavs 2 deep on defense wuz injured & dnp in that game

and yeah the coore & crenshaw sheep ranch course at the coastline bandon resort is a legit world top 100 design with its fascinating architectural feature of ZERO sand bunkers

look sihao (not gonna lie, u got good hair), shocky is glad u know how to cook & **** (that's a good life skill) and pineapple pizza is my favorite pizza too (if u evah wanna meet up on a football gameday at blondie's let me know) but brah ur 5'11" & only 155 lbs which is fine if u wanna be a substitute teacher at modern yoga like me but no bueno if u evah wanna get PAID playing pro golf

u need to be counting ur daily protein grams like pga golfers, got it??...this should not be that complicated for a berkeley student brah

rory mcilroy consumes 170 ounces of protein grams every day equal to his weight, congratulations ur ham on those slices is maybe 1 ounce

z, CONGRATS on making ur first 2 on a par 5!!

who even hits driver & then a 54% wedge with backspin on a par 5, would luv to see u win the 2025 asia pacific amateur at the emirates golf club in dubai (check out the indoor skiing facility at the mall) & earn an invitation to the 2026 masters brah!!

and yeah then shocky will caddie for u & expertly read the greens at augusta national for FREE since homa is already in a good place with his new caddie & morikawa is basically telling me to get the **** lost when it comes to looping for him

https://instagr.am/p/DM7Psl3Nh_O
real talk: shocks is not one to talk **** about people behind their backs!!

fun fact: cal is the only school on planet earth that got a larger men's golf endowment than the football program (pepperdine don't got no football program but the trade off is that nobu malibu is just minutes away if u got the game to get an ocean patio table at shocky's favorite restaurant in the world)

jeff, agree with ur analysis but think there's a strong probability that power hitting (which is a valuable tool at bethpage black) crowd favorite cameron young is gonna get the magic phone call from the cap while hopefully the unlikeable slow playing patrick cantlay stays home, who r ur euro picks??

🚨🇺🇸☎️ #BREAKING - Sources familiar tell NUCLR GOLF that Sam Burns has received the call from Captain Keegan Bradley to play for Team USA at Bethpage Black. Burns is ranked #16 in the U.S. team standings and is set to make his 2nd Ryder Cup appearance. pic.twitter.com/53neDpEi8P

I just looked at the standings, and I would guess Luke will just take the guys ranked 7-12, all of whom have PGA tour experience, I believe, and some of whom have played the Ryder Cup before. I don't follow the European Tour, and the guys 13 and below, other than Aaron Rai, are all no names to me, which tells me that none of them have really stood out enough to replace anyone that's in the top 12. Particularly playing in New York, which is going to be a hostile environment, Donald will want guys who are used to playing in front of American crowds. Interesting if he decides to leave Cantlay off, just because it means he has to do more mixing and matching for the team portion. I imagine he'll play Scheffler with Burns, since they're friends, and Colin with Young, since they've played as partners before. If Keegan picks himself, I would play him with either Spaun or Henley, since they're rookies.

jeff, the ryder cup (and to a slightly lesser extent the prez cup) the captain's calls to those that don't make the team gotta be the toughest most emotionally devastating phone calls in the game of golf

Two years ago, Keegan Bradley received the call that he was not making the Ryder Cup team.

Now, as captain, he's on the other side of the phone.

there's no easy to being tole ur gonna be walked to ur car, "give your dad a squeeze...he needs it"

good call on keegan pairing himself with russell henley, bradley whispered something into henley's ear on the 18th green at east lake after they both putted out & covered his mouth to avoid lip reading...it could've been "see u on the 1st tee at bethpage next month partner"

interesting comment about collin with cameron young, agreed that burns paired with scheffler is a lock

fingers crossed that cantlay don't get picked despite his strong finish at the tour championship, he's a really bad ******* role model for junior golfers

🚨🐢⏱️ #WATCH — “He’s taking his time again… “Plenty of waggles.”

agreed re: the euro picks 1 thru 12 in the rankings, really hoping that luke donald won't deviate from that & select piece of **** 9/11 terrorist financed liv golfer sergio garcia

Shocky, you and your internetz seem to have survived the haboob?

I forgot about Garcia. If Donald picks him, I would guess he leaves Matt Wallace off, and has Garcia blooding Hojgaard for the team matches. That makes sense, because I wouldn't think Sergio would play more than twice the first two days.

Also, Cal DL Aidan Keanaaina walked me through his self-built computer.

I was totally lost but I Googled it all after I talked to him. https://t.co/ihJxM8ZsSf pic.twitter.com/rKLrMJ3HKO
