2026 cromwell connecticut tournament: 1st round update
^ note the cal script on the bag (kim does this **** for
FREE)!!
michael kim (
68, tied for 32nd): michael (the #51 ranked player in the
WORLD) is playing well in all phases of his game primarily due to the solid pink shirt/blue pants combo look...his
ELITE scrambling (5 outta 6 today) will serve him well at the 2026 british open at royal birkdale which favors low penetrating draws in the heavy blackpool coastal breezes...kim could save money on caddie fees by carrying his own ******* bag like shocky!!
https://instagr.am/p/CuxKIOEIazx^ did the monster not put the flag in correctly or are the 30+ mph winds just blowing it sideways at the remote ardfin on the isle of jura (only golfer on the billionaire's private estate for a couple of days visit)??
collin morikawa (
69, tied for 46th): the #9 ranked player in the
WORLD is ball striking as well as anybody in the field with 12 outta 14 fairways & an unreal 16 outta 18 greens in regulation but 4 happy gilmore short game miscues (bogeys on the 9th & 10th holes & pars on the 6th & 15th holes) around the greens (the monster absolutely hates it when collin uses his utility wood off the green which usually results in a gunned "putt" well past the hole which resulted in today's missed 25 footer for birdie on the 281 yard scoreable par 4 15th hole)
cal golf: despite a sloppy double bogey/bogey finish
ziqin zhou took it low with an explosive 7 birdie
65 & is tied for 31st at the prestigious northeast amateur invitational (won by morikawa back in the day before he owned a norelco shaver) at the tricky par 69 donald ross designed wannamoisett (the 2nd best course in rhode island after shelter harbor which is just down the street from taylor swift's ginormous oceanside mansion in newport's watch hill enclave)...
sihao cong (got great hair & an always positive smiling attitude unlike homa) shot
69 &
68 in stroke play to finish tied for 3rd at the california state amateur tournament before advancing to match play & losing in the field of 32, well done sihao (r u making strides in building muscle mass & ball/club speed training??)...
matthew miyamoto (yet another undersized bear even after 3 years in berkeley, the s&c program is ineffectual) shot a
72 at us amateur local qualifying at san juan oaks & will be advancing to final qualifying at ruby hill for the 2026 us amateur at merion (z is already qualified for the national championship!!)
^ unlike rory, jack & tiger, morikawa cannot be bothered with advance scouting trips to future major sites at the cathedrals of golf
