Colin Morawa 68 in Scotland. Michael Kim’s good news. A stunning performance that has sparked debate among golf fans. Colin Morawa’s round in Scotland was nothing short of dramatic. At the Genesis Scottish Open on Thursday, the 28-year-old Cal Alam launched his round with an eagle on his third hole, only to finish with a two under 68 that landed him in a tie for 33rd place. This score, while impressive, comes at a time when Morawa is preparing for next week’s Open Championship at the Renaissance Club in North Bareric, Scotland, a par 70 course where he currently trails the front runners by four strokes. But here’s where it gets controversial. Another Cal graduate, Michael Kim, received very encouraging news. The 31-year-old South Korean, who is ranked 56th in the world, was just added as one of six players to the 156 player field set to compete at Royal Portrait in Northern Ireland next week. This marks his return to the Open after missing out last year. And his comeback has many fans wondering if he might surprise us all with his performance. The tournament in Scotland has seen several players making headlines. Four competitors, Nikico Echavaria, Sept Straka, Jake Knap, and Victor Perez are currently tied for the lead with impressive six under 64 rounds. Notably, Jake Nap completed his round without a single bogey and is eyeing a potential lastminute invite to the open. Just one stroke behind are four players who finished at 5 under 65, while five more golfers, including Victor Havland, wrapped up their rounds at 66. Among those sharing 14th place with scores of 67 are world number one Scotty Sheffller and former Cal standout Bayong Hunan. Highlighting the competitive depth of the field, Bayong Hunan, one of three former Golden Bears taking part, showcased a roller coaster of performance. He kicked off with birdies on three of his first four holes only to lose momentum with consecutive bogeies on the eighth and ninth holes. However, his resilience was on full display on the back nine where birdies on the 10th and 16th holes helped him rebound to a respectable round. Moriawa’s round itself was a mix of brilliance and challenge. After an electrifying start, evidenced by an eagle on the par five, fifth hole and a birdie on the sixth, he encountered a rough patch with bogeies on the seventh, 8th, and 10th holes, which brought him back to even par. Determined to salvage his score, he rallied on the final eight holes with birdies on the 12th and 14th, finishing his round at two underpar. Meanwhile, Michael Kim, aged 30, managed to secure a tie for 49th place with a one under 69. His round saw him making nine solid pars on the front nine, a noteworthy accomplishment. Despite facing bogeies on the 11th and 12th holes, Kim turned things around with an impressive eagle on the 13th and a birdie on the 16th, nudging his score under par. This captivating tournament not only highlights the impressive showings of Cal alumni like Moria Kim and fellow competitor Samson Jang, but also primes us for an exhilarating open championship next week. With four Golden Bears now represented in the field, the stage is set for intense competition and plenty of lively debate. Do you believe these stellar performances are a preview of further success at the upcoming major? Or do you think the pressure might intensify the challenges ahead? And for those who notice the finer details, could course conditions in Scotland hint at advantages for some players over others? Share your thoughts and join the conversation.

Colin Moria’s disappointing performance at the Open Championship. It was a tough day for the alumni of the University of California, Berkeley, as all four former Golden Bears golfers who participated in the Open Championship were unable to make the cut. Among them was Colin Morawa, who was aiming for his third major title and his first victory of any kind since October 2023. Morawa, who previously triumphed at the Open Championship in 2021, has struggled in the UK since then, missing the cut in both 2022 and 2023 and only managing a tie for 16th place last year. This year marked the third time in four years that Morawa failed to advance as he fell significantly short of qualifying for Saturday’s third round. He recorded a score of three over par 74 in the second round at the Royal Portrait Golf Club in Portric, Northern Ireland, leaving him at a total of seven over for the tournament. The cut line was set at one over, making his performance all the more disappointing. After two rounds, Moriawa found himself tied for 130th place out of 156 competitors. To advance to the third round on Saturday, golfers needed to be among the top 70 in ties after the first two rounds. Currently, the world’s top ranked golfer Scotty Sheffller leads the tournament after an impressive seven under par 64 on Friday, bringing his total to 10 under and giving him a narrow one-shot lead over England’s Matt Fitzpatrick. Moriawa was not alone in his struggles. The other three former Cow Golfers also faced challenges. Michael Kim bogeied three of his last five holes on Friday, finishing with a second round score of one over par 72, which left him at four over for the tournament, just missing the cut. Bayong Hunan, who spent a year at Cal before turning professional, managed an even par round of 71 on Friday, but his cumulative score of five over par placed him well below the cut line. The fourth cow golfer in Northern Ireland was Samson Jang who secured his spot in the open by finishing as the runnerup in the final qualifying event in Liverpool, England earlier this month. Unfortunately, his journey ended on Friday when he shot a two over 73, finishing at 8 over for the tournament. Ranked number six in the world, Moriawa entered the tournament with high expectations, especially with his new caddy Billy Foster, who had previously assisted him at both the Scottish Open and the Open Championships. However, this partnership did not yield the desired results, as Moriawa missed the cut in both events. Foster was only scheduled to work with Moriawa for these two tournaments in the UK, suggesting that Moriawa will be on his fifth different caddy since April for his next competition. In his second round, Moriawa managed to score three birdies, but he also recorded four bogeies and a double bogey, which ultimately marred his performance. What do you think about Moria’s recent struggles? Is it time for a change in strategy or perhaps a different approach to his game? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Not just winning his third major title, but first making the cut. to advance to Saturday’s third round. He’ll need a stellar performance on Friday as only the top 70 golfers and ties will proceed. Currently, he’s tied for 115th, a far cry from the top of the leaderboard. The leaders take center stage. Meanwhile, five golfers have set the pace with impressive four under par 67 scores. The pack is led by Harris English USA, Jacobskco Olison, Denmark, Haong Lee, China, Christian Bazouan, Hout South Africa, and Matt Fitzpatrick, England, with Harris being the highest ranked among them at number 19. But here’s where it gets interesting. Asterisk, can any of these early leaders sustain their momentum or will the field close in? Scotty Sheoffller in the mix. World number one Scotty Sheffller, the pre-ournament favorite, has positioned himself well with a three under par 68, just one stroke off the lead. Tied with three other golfers, Sheffller is poised to make a move. Will his top ranking translate to a major win or can someone else capitalize on the opportunity? Former Cal golfers a mixed bag. Three other former Golden Bears are also competing in the open championship with varied degrees of success. Bayong Hun and struggled more than Moriawa, finishing with a 5 over par 76. Michael Kim had the best round among the Excalow golfers, securing a three-over par 74 with a birdie on the last hole. Samson Jang, who qualified through the final qualifying event in Liverpool, faces an uphill battle after carding a 6 over par 77. Morawa’s uphill battle. Ranked number six in the world, Moriawa was expected to be a strong contender for the Open title. However, his first round wos coupled with missing the cut at the Scottish Open last week suggest he’s yet to overcome his current challenges. Can Moriawa draw inspiration from his 2021 Open Championship win and stage a remarkable comeback? Or will this be another year to forget? Moriawa’s troubles began with a bogey on the first hole and ended with another on the final hole, totaling five bogeies against a single birdie on the sixth hole. With six PGA Tour wins under his belt, though none since the Zo Championship in October 2023, Moria’s quest for a third major title has hit an early snag. Now it’s your turn. Share your thoughts.
