Colin Morawa shoots 68 at Scottish Open. Michael Kim earns Open Birth. Golf’s biggest stage is looming. And the stakes are higher than a triple bogey on the 18th hole. For Colin Morawa and Michael Kim, this week’s Genesis Scottish Open in Scotland isn’t just a tuneup. It’s a high pressure audition for glory. But here’s where the plot thickens. Even a two under 68 can feel like a mixed bag when the world’s best are lurking. Morawa, the 28-year-old California Golden Bear, flashed brilliance early with an Eagle three on the par five fifth hole. Yes, that’s two under on one hole, only to stumble into a trio of bogeies that left him scrambling to recover. His finish tied for 33rd, four strokes off the lead, a far cry from his fifth ranked world status. But don’t count him out yet. A two under closing stretch on the back nine proved he’s still sharpening his claws for next week’s Open Championship in Northern Ireland. Michael Kim just got the news every golfer dreams of a lastminute invite to the Open after a one-year absence. The 31-year-old and fellow Cal alum isn’t just crashing the party, though. He’s arriving with momentum. A gutsy Eagle 2 on the 13th hole and a birdie on 16 salvaged a one under 69 despite two mid-round bogeies. Now he joins Moriawa Bjong Hun an 23-year-old qualifier Samson Jen to give Cal a hisysic fourplayer squad in the field. But wait, what about the leaders? Four golfers, Nicoia, Sebstraka, Jake Knap, and Victor Perez are already sizzling with six under 64s. Knap’s bogey-free round is more than just pretty stats. It’s a desperate plea for an open invite. And then there’s Victor Havland lurking at five under while world number one Scotty Shuffler is stuck in a crowded 14th place with a 67. On the top performing Kalum so far had a roller coaster day. Three early birdies, two bogeies and a redemption arc on the back nawa’s round was a microcosm of the challenge ahead. Brilliant highs that eagle and frustrating lows, three bogeies and four holes. Kim meanwhile proved why his open return matters. a nine-par streak on the front nine followed by an eagle birdie combo that silenced doubters. Here’s the controversy. Should the Open’s qualifying process favor consistent ranked players like him over surprise qualifiers? And can Morawa’s inconsistent day be blamed on open jitters, or is he just playing it safe? Sound off. Do you think Kim’s experience gives him an edge, or will the young guns like Jen steal the show? Colin Morawa the honor of representing team USA at the RDER Cup. After overseas disappointment, Morawa set sights on ultimate patriotic mission with Team USA. Representing your country on the global stage can be the defining moment of an athletes career. And for Colin Morawa, that opportunity cannot come soon enough. After a series of frustrating performances abroad, the accomplished 28-year-old golfer who triumphantly claimed the 2021 Open Championship on British soil at Royal St. George’s has experienced a surprising reversal of fortune on his recent international expedition. Morawa failed to advance past the cut line at both the Scottish Open and this year’s final major championship at Northern Ireland’s challenging Royal Port Rush course. In typical PGA Tour seasons, competitors would now be laser focused on perfecting their techniques as the regular season concludes, preparing mentally and physically for the highstakes FedEx Cup playoffs. But this particular season offers something that arguably carries even greater significance for American players. The prestigious Rder Cup tournament is returning to American territory with the 2025 edition scheduled for the notoriously difficult Beth Page Black Course in Farmingdale, New York. This biionial competition pitting America’s finest golfers against Europe’s elite represents something transcendent for Morawa who has already accumulated impressive international team experience with two RDER cups, two President’s Cups, and appearances in both the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games. Nothing compares to wearing the red, white, and blue, Morawa revealed in an exclusive conversation with Fox News Digital. Golf is fundamentally an individual pursuit. Yes, we have support teams behind us, but ultimately we alone receive recognition for our achievements. But when you’re competing for your nation, whether it’s the President’s Cup, Olympics, and especially the Ryder Cup, everything transforms. You’re not just playing for yourself or even your team. You’re carrying the hopes of an entire country. When people from every background and walk of life unite to support your team during this one tournament, it creates an indescribable sense of purpose. That’s truly the ultimate honor for any athlete. Morawa continued, “You’re shouldering that responsibility for an entire week, representing something larger than yourself. That feeling stays with you forever. In those crucial moments, your only desire is to bring your absolute best. Not just as a golfer, but as a representative of your nation. But here’s where Morawa faces a significant challenge. His whis form has been inconsistent at best. Since competing at the RBC Heritage approximately 3 months ago, he has managed only three finishes within the top 20. This performance drip couldn’t come at a more inconvenient time as Ryder Cup qualification intensifies. Nevertheless, having previously reached golf’s pinnacle, Morala understands the fine margins that separate disappointment from triumph and how quickly fortunes can reverse. The fascinating thing about golf is how deceptive your struggles can be. Morau explained, “Sometimes you feel miles away from playing well, but in reality, you’re just tiny adjustments from excellence. It might be a single degree in your swing th one fortunate bounce or a critical momentum shift early in a tournament that completely transforms your entire week. We compete across four full days. That’s an enormous amount of time where small variables can dramatically impact outcomes. This perspective is precisely why we rise each morning determined to improve. He added you must accept these fluctuations as inherent to our profession. Yes, this past month hasn’t delivered the results I’ve been working toward. But that doesn’t mean tomorrow won’t bring breakthrough performances. The playoffs could still be extraordinary. Success requires persistent effort and refusing to surrender to temporary setbacks. The current FedEx Cup standings position Morawa eighth among Americanborn competitors, placing him just outside the automatic qualification zone for the Ryder Cup team, which takes the top six players. His recent difficulties, particularly during international competitions have undoubtedly complicated his qualifying pathway, a reality he readily acknowledges. Climbing into that automatic qualification group will require significant work, Morawa admitted candidly. But I remain genuinely optimistic about my chances. His veteran experience and previous Colin Morawa misses cut at the open championship. Disaster strikes for Cal alumni at the Open Championship. Can they rebound from this devastating blow? Friday, July insert date will be etched in the memories of Cal alumni golfers as a day of unfulfilled dreams. All four former Golden Bears who teed off at the Open Championship at the Royal Port Rush Golf Club in Northern Ireland failed to make the cut, leaving their hopes of lifting the coveted title in tatters. The fallen favorites, a tale of woe. At the center of this disappointment is Colin Moriawa, the world’s no safe golfer, who was gunning for his third major title and his first win since October 2023. Moriawa’s past successes, including his 2021 Open Championship victory, seemed like a distant memory as he struggled to find his rhythm. For the third time in four years, he missed the cut at the open. this time by a significant margin. A three overpar 74 in the second round pushed him to seven over for the tournament, far from the one over cutline. This dismal performance left him tied for 130th in a field of 156 golfers. But here’s where it gets controversial. Was Mory Kawwa’s decision to pair with new caddy Billy Foster for the Scottish Open and the Open Championships a contributing factor to his poor showing? Despite high hopes, this temporary partnership yielded unfavorable results with Moriawa missing the cut in both events. As Foster’s scheduled tenure with Moriawa comes to an end, Moriawa is set to have his fifth different caddy since April at his next event. We want to hear from you. Do you think frequent caddy changes can significantly impact a golfer’s performance? Share your thoughts in the comments. The other Cal alumni, how did they fare? Michael Kim. A strong finish eluded Kim as bogeies on three of his final five holes on Friday led to a one over par 72 leaving him at four over for the tournament just shy of the cut. Bjong Han an despite an even par round of 71 on Friday’s two round score of five over par was not enough to keep him in the running. Samson Zang. Zang’s dream of advancing was cut short after shooting the two over 73, finishing at 8 over for the tournament. His remarkable journey, which included earning a spot in the open by finishing as the runnerup at the final qualifying event in Liverpool, England, will have to wait for its next chapter. Meanwhile, at the top of the leaderboard, world number one Scotty Sheffller is leading the charge into the third round after a stunning seven underpar 64 on Friday, giving him a one-shot lead over England’s Matt Fitzpatrick. Sheffller’s 10 under for the tournament sets the stage for an exhilarating weekend. Recent articles to keep you in the loop.
