michael kim (72, tied for 25th): missing half the fairways (7 outta 14) no es bueno & resulted in just a one birdie round on the drivable par 4 17th hole
max homa (75, tied for 63rd): yikes, only 5 outta 14 fairways off the tee box on a baked out tpc scottsdale (and no spilled beer does not agronomically facilitate grass growing & ****)
collin morikawa (71, tied for 63rd): the week in a capsule moment: collin throws a gap wedge dart 10 feet away left of the pin on the 25,000+ stadium par 3 16th hole...it's almost a dead flat green but with downtown phoenix to the right the correct greens read is either firm left edge or a quarter ball left at dying drip speed...morikawa misreads the line as dead straight with no situational awareness of the valley effect & his putt is right of the cup never having a chance
yeah shocky is working on a project & it's called you, he's contacted the thunderbird tournament director & the pga director in charge of playing competition requesting that max & collin be paired together tomorrow to facilitate my coaching/developing responsibilities

2026 phoenix wasted open: 4th round update ^ real talk: tpc scottsdale is NOT golf course architecturally in the top 15 courses in north scottsdale
https://instagr.am/p/C3LKgK1x3fC michael kim (67, tied for 18th): a second 8 birdie round this week (that's how u get PAID on the pga tour) including a dramatic curling birdie bomb on the par 18th hole (with 25,000+ fans screaming wildly) after utilizing the monster tee ball strategy of aiming the drive away from the dangers down the left side & at the scoreboard flanking the bleachers down the right side!!
collin morikawa (69, tied for 54th): on his opening hole collin struck his iron 2nd shot into the middle of the green leaving a 35 footer directly into the mcdowell mountains away from downtown phoenix...with a complete lack of situational awareness of the valley effect or caddie assistance from experienced mark urbanek morikawa then left his birdie putt into the grain 10 feet short (which caused a couple of rando fans near me to exclaim "dude, that's the worst putt we've seen all week!!")...sigh
max homa (72, tied for 66th): what time is the super bowl party??
fun fact: max & collin played together as requested, once again plz let me know ur preferred football gameday kickoff times for this fall so shocky can work with espn & the acc commish to ensure our very busy people needs are met, got it??
yeah nfl taker/berkeley grad nohl williams cbyf1/future wifey with a rock on her finger lulu "let it fly" twidale is arguably the most MARKETABLE women's athlete in the history of cal athletics!!
https://instagr.am/p/DUgut9ZiTEd there should be 10,000+ fans this upcoming week at haas pavillion for both of the bears (15-10) acc battles against virginia (17-7) & virginia tech (18-7) in the quest for a spot in the 2026 ncca tournament in the wildly women's basketball supportive san francisco bay area as evidenced by the wnba valkyries thru imaginative/creative marketing averaging 18,064 fans this season
but we all know that's NOT gonna happen because of the absolute dereliction of duties by co athletic director JENNIFER SIMON-O'NEIL...the bears are once again near the basement of the acc in wbb attendance despite the generational marketing talent in lulu & a 2025 ncca tournament team
chancellor lyons, ur retaining this EVIL as **** worthless bureaucrat (who is hated/not respected not only by donors but also the rest of the athletic department with the exception of her fellow anti football ****tard jay larson who got the personality/fundraising ability of a dead squirrel) is not only disrespecting the suicidal women's swimmers & their families but also dooming the women's basketball program in addition to the beyond ****** up softball & volleyball coaching failures under her watch
rich, this **** is 100% on you & does NOT reflect the values and potential of women's athletics at the university of california, berkeley
FACT: Shocky is in communication with multiple former Cal women's swimmers and their families re: the years of abuse that was enabled by JENNIFER SIMON-O'NEIL & ignored by the then Director of Compliance JAY LARSON (who looked the other way re: egregious Title IX violations). These young women's lives have been forever damaged by their Berkeley experiences.
FACT: Shocky is in possession of multiple legal documents pertaining to the abuse inflicted including the confidential Munger report that was not released to me via a public information request. This is a shocking report that makes the reader want to throw up and disassociate with Cal Athletics.
FACT: Shocky is in possession of an email directory listing for the University's largest donors, The Builders of Berkeley.
If Chancellor Lyons still employs JENNIFER SIMON-O'NEIL and JAY LARSON in any capacity including but not limited to serving as Co Athletic Directors after their current contracts expire on July 1, 2026 it's possible that unredcated highlighted portions documenting the racism and other abuses that resulted in multiple swimmers having suicidal iterations will be sent by an untraceable 3rd party to The Builders of Berkeley, the UC Board of Regents and selective national media outlets including the New York Times.
Fundraising for Berkeley at that point will be very challenging in addition to national scrutiny upon the University.
shocky talking ball/strategizing the bishop o'dowd pipeline with fellow hopa/hopa berkeley grad dragons head coach lou richie back in the day when the bears started 4 future nba ballers & sharpshooter jordan mathews playing in front of SOLD OUT 11,000+ fans on big time gamedays in an insane energy haas pavilion!!
yeah shocky is a class act, he moved over down the row (flip flopped seats) as a courtesy to allow mrs spieker to watch the action on the floor/not block her view when the monster stands the whole game shouting instructions like "demand the ball, ivan, demand the ball!!" as part of his coaching duties on behalf of cal's monster class
the MAGIC of cal basketball!!#
Thoughts from the WM:
-I truly enjoy coming to this tournament. There’s very few tournaments that bring this level of energy. The atmosphere plus the design of the golf course fit really well together.
^ that's the shockster (wearing white shorts, a white vilebrequin t-shirt, black balenciaga kicks & a cal cap, apparently he got a resting biatch face) posting up by the hole sign below the blimp making sure his poly brah michael gets his 8 birdies in the final round!!
yeah u gotta have faith that the monster knows wut the **** he's talking about, it always (ok maybe most of the time) works out!!
but this female figure skating is literally the greatest sport in the history of planet earth, the competitions are dominated by cbyf1s with smokeshow ponytails!!
ponytails are cute & cute holds up way the **** better than sexy over time# ^ another brilliant fortune cookie insert by the monster, he does this **** with no effort

the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the WORLD
Best Universities in the World, 2024:
1.🇬🇧 Oxford 2.🇺🇸 Stanford 3.🇺🇸 MIT 4.🇺🇸 Harvard 5.🇬🇧 Cambridge 6.🇺🇸 Princeton 7.🇺🇸 California Institute of Technology 8.🇬🇧 Imperial College London 9.🇺🇸 Berkeley 10.🇺🇸 Yale
It's tricky since it's unclear how to categorize Cambridge and Oxford in the UK.
See the attached ChatGPT page on the question of whether Cambridge is considered a public university.
See also the attached page on the fact that in all five rankings that people site for US universities, Berkeley is ranked number one among publics in each of the five.
Yes-Cambridge is considered a public university in the UK, but the term public works differently in the UK than in the U.S.
Why Cambridge is "public" in the UK sense
-It receives significant public funding (via the Office for Students and UK research councils).
-It is regulated by government bodies and its governance structure is established by statute.
-It does not belong to private owners; it operates as a charitable corporation.
How this differs from U.S. usage
In the U.S., public university usually means a state-owned, state-run institution (e.g., UC Berkeley). Cambridge is not run by the government in that direct way. It's autonomous, self-governing, and organized around independent colleges.
BOTTOM LINE: berkeley is the #1 ranked public university in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shocky is forwarding this email correspondence with the berkeley chancellor to andrew mcgraw, chief of staff, for the cal football program with instructions that on a go forward berkeley be only referred to as the GREATEST ******* public university on planet earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
got it??
go bears

one time friday nite football star in texas & former cal decommit (low gpa, didn't clear berkeley admissions) kebreion winston is transferring from baylor to the university of texas-permian basis (had never heard of this school before)
the significantly undersized 6'1" 205 lbs linebacker signing day comment last week is sad as ****: "to get a fresh start and to have another chance to provide for my family"
the adults have failed him, winston does not perceive academics & studying hard in school as the pathway to providing for his family, his odds of getting paid in the nfl are less than one thousandth of one percent
fiercely contested battle between two very flawed teams (one team shot a crooked azz 24% on 3 pointers & 60% of free throws while the other team got no interior d presence without its violent starting center who wuz arrested for a felony aggravated assault on his ex girlfriend at his last school) that played hard for 50 minutes
well officiated acc dogfight with permissible physicality unlike the candy azz soft ticky tack no rhythm pac 10 games back in the day, madsen needs to recruit 4s & 5s that got the +1 athleticism & mentality/physicality to play thru minor contact that's the hallmark of east coast college basketball & the 2026 ncca tournament
yeah it's almost as hard to win basketball games in up state new york as it is to get a friday nite reservation at carbone in the city
let it fly, lulu, let if fly (the greatest 3 point shooter in the history of cal basketball since cal's monster class jeff powers)!!#

https://instagr.am/p/DUJVNYXkqQu michael kim (68, tied for 28th): playing at pebble beach with a en fuego 6 birdies but weird azz bogey 6s on the scoreable par 5 6th & 18th holes (and a scrambling par 5 from the fronting barranca on the exploitable 2nd hole)...drained 87 feet in putts at the beach which is not surprising for one of the best putters on the pga tour/planet earth!!
collin morikawa (69, tied for 39th): playing at the harder spyglass hilll, collin is hitting laser irons close to pins which got him 5th in the field in strokes gained on approaches to the greens...but 53 feet in putts made no es bueno (all 4 birdies on putts under 4 feet)
2026 kauai college tournament: 1st round update
https://instagr.am/p/DPuJMiuEun5 sophmore boss man ziqin zhou (4 birdies) & true freshman sensation xihuan chang (5 birdies) both with crafty 69s (tied for 14th) on a tricky nicklaus design with an iconic lighthouse on the drivable par 4 16th hole...mentally tough/positive energy sihao cong with a good not great 71 (32nd place) but the other 3 bears struggled with at least 2 double bogeys (which u cannot do in competitive golf) each & the bears are a mediocre tied for 10th outta 19th teams
great news is another 2026 ncca tournament resume building win for the bears (16-10, 7-6 in the acc)!!
a critical factor in the key victory wuz better passing & ball handling which is benefiting from the return of true frosh puff mcmorris, only 11 turnovers for the game
virginia tech on sunday at haas pavilion will be another opportunity to earn a spot in march madness!!
coach zach tinker got his #1 2027 kicker target 6'2" 180 lbs zach brien who wuz a bishop o'dowd dragon (until the hardware man left as head coach) & is now at the img academy in florida for his sr season!!
zach is NOT a dumb azz, he got a 3.8 gpa (which makes him way the **** smarter than his dumb azz berkeley grad dad doug)

look the monster is never gonna make fun of anybody who throws cal football helmet fashion looks on fall gamedays at memorial stadium, got it??
https://instagr.am/p/DF4IVdmM3iv zach squared special teams# ^ unconfirmed rumour that the bears longsnapper is petitioning the contra costa supreme court to legally change his name to zach bird or something
collin morikawa (68, tied for 27th): happy/funny moment when collin rolled in a left to right 50 footer (his longest made putt of the 2026 season) from the front fringe on the iconic par 3 17th hole for a birdie & then flashed a huge SMILE & gave a mock double fist bump in disbelief...yeah sometimes golf is incomprehensible!!
morikawa's ball striking is unreal & on point, after the opening 2 rounds he's 6th in driving accuracy (21 outta 28 fairways) & 8th in greens in regulation (29 outta 36 greens)...let's ******* go!!
michael kim (70, tied for 34th): michael is hitting only less than half of the fairways (13 outta 28) in the first 2 rounds, gotta tighten that up tomorrow at the beach...kim's ELITE putting continues with 86 feet in drained putts for the round, fully expecting fireworks mañana with a coveted first group out tee time (with zero pace of play issues) off the 1st tee, let's roll baby!!
2026 kauai college tournament: 2nd round update
https://instagr.am/p/DUuKTFYEWwh shhhh, don't tell nobody but my brah ziqin zhou is one of the TOP college golfers in the nation right now, once z figures this out too the championship trophies are all gonna be right in front of him, got it??
the rest of the team needs to chill the **** out & just play with SMILES on their faces (and quit making dumb **** decisions on the golf course particularly on the 519 yard par 4 6th hole which the team has played in a bull**** 12 over par in the first 2 rounds)
https://instagr.am/p/DUt5wZojafa ^ why the **** is shocky incomprehensible in this gram & failing to mention that ur gpa will affect ur future & ability to order the unreal spicy rigatoni with sauteed chicken (burp) with authentic san francisco sourdough bread at the low key old school vibe westlake original joes in daly city just minutes from the o-club??
Collin shot 10 under today! Haven't seen this level of confidence in at least two years. He's tied for 2nd and two back from Bhatia. Will be en epic finish tomorrow!
collin morikawa (62, tied for 2nd): morikawa with arguably the GREATEST round in the history of cal golf!!!!!!!!!
11 BIRDIES with the lone bogey due to a not decisively struck miss to the right of the cup 3 footer for par on the newly grassed (still sketchy with mow patterns) recent green extension deep left pin position on the par 4 10th hole adjacent to the pacific ocean cliffs which is the windiest spot at the beach while hitting an unreal all 18 greens in regulation on a 15-30 mph wind velocity day on the spectacular monterrey peninsula
"When I first came out here and turned pro, I didn't care about honestly making cuts or top-20s, I came out here to win."
points to consider with respects to tomorrow final 4th round:
1) collin (17 under par) is playing with the leader akshay bhatia (19 under par with max homa's best friend/former caddie joey greiner now on his bag), morikawa will know exactly where he stands & what he gotta do at all times...furthermore morikawa is a much better ball striker than bhatia which will be accentuated by the projected weather conditions
Collin Morikawa just posted the second best approach round in ShotLink history gaining +6.460 strokes in round three of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. pic.twitter.com/V0FlisNm5I
2) with high winds expected again tomorrow the pga tour staff will be agronomically slowing down the greens (to ensure balls on the greens aren't oscillating) & cutting the hole locations in relatively flat spots which will simplify putting for collin & facilitate an aggressive attack mode mindset on the slower putting greens
3) the 2 pga tour courses morikawa has played the most & is familiar with the greens reading are the riv (next week) & the beach (tomorrow)
4) the fans will be overall favoring the nor cal berkeley grad, this is a home game for collin
5) morikawa wuz raised by a tiger moms & like all haas biz ad grads is ******* tough as nails (nobody is harder on us than we are on ourselves), competitive pressure is a luxury in life (to be embraced like a cbyf1, not a deterrent) & we do this **** with (almost) no effort
6) if collin prevails tomorrow we can expect the most emotional trophy presentation/post round interview evah by collin, he's older now & more appreciative of championships than back in the day when it all seemed so simple then in the way we wuz
michael kim: (71, tied for 47th): michael missed 8 outta 14 fairways on the windy day but always good vibes finishing with a birdie 4 on the most famous (along with st andrews) 18th hole in golf!!
ziqin, CONGRATS on the clean scorecard 4 birdie en fuego 66 to finish 6 under par for the tournament & tied for 3rd!!
but guess wut??
ur brah shocky don't think ur the 165th ranked collegiate player in the united states, there is ZERO doubt in my mind after watching you play in person/conversing with u and better understanding ur competitive mindset that ur a legit top 10 baller...today's 3rd place finish is not ur upside/destination, ur a CHAMPIONSHIP winning golfer & the monster truly believes that hoisting trophies is in ur future (and sooner than u think)!!
z, ur time is NOW, go be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bottom line: cal is a GOLF school with endowment funding GREATER than the football program
to anybody doubting the journey, trust it, have FAITH that it's all gonna work out (most of the time)!!
