2026 san antonio riverwalk tournament: 3rd round update (play suspended, round will be completed tomorrow morning)


michael kim (3 under par thru 9 holes, 10 under par for the tournament, tied for 5th place): despite severe thunderstorms & his development coach (sean foley is only kim's swing coach, he's not as important as the monster) further afar back in north scottsdale, michael is still en fuego with 3 birdies (no bogeys) on his front nine & climbing the leaderboard!!

michael's highly controlled trap draw is ideal for windy weather & he's 4th in the field in hitting greens in regulation (34 outta 45, 75%+ on a very difficult course) along with his usual ELITE putting

let's keep SMILING and SAILING on a charted course to augusta national where the fairways wind up and down below and the smell of azaleas in the pines brah!!

cal is a DREAM school (for those wiling to do the hard work on & off the playing fields)!!#

Austin Clark is one crazy (in a good way) dude. Does this hillbilly thing - think intellectual Ed Orgeron - so well everyone just loves him. Not your normal serious Bear, but he has a great future as a coach. Knew him when he was a player. Undersized guy that just loved taking on much bigger oline guys

One day everyone will be talking about him.

So I looked at the the Golf Magazine top 100 and the US courses in particular, and while it has been a few years since the surgeons have allowed me to play, asked myself what do I object to since this is all subjective unless your golf course architect. But here it goes.

In CA, Pastatiempo and Valley Club continue to be underrated. So much golf course eye candy without having to rely in tricked-up water features, etc. That said, the ratings of LACC North (after Hanse's alterations) and Rivera once the got rid of the recent big name architect's trickery) really don't need to rely on the dramatics to have a great golf course. Hanse did a great job at Waverly as well, and I hope that fine old course makes a move up in rankings.

I would put Bandon Trails higher in the rankings. It has everything you could ask a golf course to have.

I'm not the greatest McClay Kidd fan (even though I belong to club whose course he designed), but his Nanea Golf Course in Hawaii is one of the best courses I have had the privilege to play.

Just two cents from an old duffer.

alex, could not agree more with you that austin clark is one of the most passionate cali bears that evah walked thru the north tunnel of memorial stadium on gamedays (and there's zero doubt that he's a future NFL head coach in waiting)!!

back in the day shocky wuz talking to multiple bearents outside the team bus after a road victory (pro tip: as the person who got more relationships with bearents than anybody on planet earth, a real ice breaker in speaking to them is asking them with a smile on ur face is "whose your favorite player??") when he chatted with alan clark who tole me that his son wuz a kinda undersized walk on defensive lineman & that the head coach had addressed the entire team that week and tole them that if every ******* player in the program had the same relentless intensity and work ethic as austin clark the bears would be the ******* national champions

alan started to tear up telling me this and then volunteered that he wuz an air conditioning specialist in tampa and that he never went to college but that both his son austin & daughter adrienne got gpas over 4.0 which he tole me while wiping tears off his face...schulzy hugged the emotional proud dad & quietly tole him that he wuz in my humble opinion the dad of the century which made him laugh & say "thank you!!"

alex, agreed re: your architecture commentary & your spot on re: post hanse restoration work at waverley in portland which along with the public wine valley (the rustic canyon of washington) are the 2 most underrated courses in the northwest

as for nanea the uber exclusive club on maui is one of the top modern golf experiences on planet earth along with friar's head in the hamptons, ellerston in australia & shanqin bay on hainan island in china...the shockster has been a guest at nanea a half a dozen times courtesy of charles schwab (the stanford grad likes to call me his favorite "berkeley hippie" which is kinda a backhanded compliment) who loves to talk golf course architecture...the reason nanea is not better regarded in the world top 100 rankings is because of the non walkable routing which is a shame because architect david mcklay kidd (who did terrific work at rolling hills) had 10,000+ pristine acres at his disposal with zero homes to work around

2026 san antonio riverwalk tournament: 3rd round completed

https://instagr.am/p/DWwSxR-juBj
michael kim (66, tied for 2nd): michael kim is a FEARLESS boss man!!

on the par 5 18th hole playing back into the fierce texas winds (which favors kim's trap draw), michael knocked his wedge into the creek fronting the green, took his penalty stroke & then without any complaining/feeling sorry for himself (which are unproductive wasted emotions, ur not a victim max) holed out from the rough for a saving par!!

wowza!!

with the potential for more thunderstorms & guys tryna get to augusta nationa tonite, michael will be teeing off for his 4th round in less than an hour (no pga tour repairing of the leaders together)

DMK likes to move a lot of dirt, and his golf courses generally are difficult to walk. Rolling Hills has elevation changes, but is not a grueling walk. The view of the course among the members is polarizing, some of it owing to the course is very expensive to maintain. The course is maturing nicely and likely will be in the top 5 on LA County courses.

But at Tetherow, I could have used a Sherpa. Two of the guys I played with fell and bloodied themselves. Bandon Dunes and Huntsman are stiff walks, and the routing on the latter is brutal. I have not played Scarecrow, but I hear the routing requires cart golf play. Admittedly I played cart golf/fore caddy at Nanea, which speeds-up play and makes finding one's ball (which can be an issue) findable. That course would be tough walk, but is beautiful. .

I agree with both of you. Last year, I hit the daily double and played both Nanea and Friar's Head.

2026 san antonio riverwalk tournament: 4th round update


michael kim (69, tied for 2nd, $741,533): after watching tommy fleetwood's wedge get swallowed up by the brisk headwinds plus a monster jolt of adrenaline from all the ******* excitement, kim airmailed the 18th green on his 95 yard gap wedge but then hit a 1000% filthy sand shot to secure 20+ official world golf ranking points (which are critical for securing invitations to the 2026 us & british opens) & is now ranked #43 in the world, CONGRATS brah!!

michael kim pga tour press conference:

"Look, let's be real here, my career got jump started last year at TPC Scottsdale when Shocky coached me up & then my previous best tournament this year wuz again at the Wasted Management tourney with the Monster so it's no surprise to me that my most outstanding golf of 2026 happened with the Shockster gliding in this week to San Antonio from North Scottsdale!!"

"Shocky's astute observations re: my putting pace issues in the 1st round resulted in my making the necessary SPEED adjustments and then we were OFF TO THE RACES this week on the greens!!"

"Professional golf is a highly competitive and sometimes lonely profession, hearing Shocky scream at the top of his lungs "Demand the ball, Ivan, demand the ball!!" means everything to me. And even his off the course mentoring has benefited me with my now having a CBYF1 girlfriend."

"Shocky's insights (based on his 15+ rounds there) that Augusta National favors my draw (particularly since there's only a half a dozen guys on the PGA tour that predominantly work the ball right to left) off the tee on the 5th, 9th, 10th, 13th & 14th holes is inspiring confidence in me that I got a legit opportunity to become the 1st Masters champion of South Korean descent from Legoland High School which is also the alma mater for Trevor Cox. And yeah I will be following his Augusta National course management advice to strategize clubbing/approach shots to ensure uphill putts at all times."

"Vince Whaley (who like Maverick McNealy got waitlisted by Berkeley admissions) tole me he wished he had a brah like Shocky who is clearly +1 athletic as ****."

"And believe me, I'm very aware that my having back issues like Z and Collin Morikawa is a function of our not having a yoga/meditation practice like Schulzy."

"Sure hope Shocky don't stroke out at one of his barre classes at Modern Yoga before I win my FIRST Major Championship, Go Bears!!"

ELITE 6'3" 175 lbs with length defensive back hayden stepp from national power bishop gorman high school in las vegas is gonna unofficially trip to berkeley this weekend to learn more about the TAKERS before setting up his official visits


hayden (who got good hair unlike coach lup) is NOT a dumb azz, he got a 3.6 gpa and he's gonna think twice about enrolling at a football factory with its disposable gladiators that are one injury away from valeting cars at caesar's palace when they're 30 years old


the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the WORLD (for those that wanna build generational wealth thru hard work with NFL coaches battling in the acc & a life changing berkeley degree)

michael kim (72, tied for 79th): despite our cali bear being one of the top putters on the pga tour, kim's speed wuz kinda off today leaving putts uncharacteristically short of the hole...draining only 50 feet in putts no es bueno, this speed issue will get worked out manana

fun fact: michael gotta a cbyf1 girlfriend (with flawless skin) who wore a black & white casual high fashion couture outfit (with a killah classic black clutch) usually walking 150 yards behind the action on the course while looking at her phone the whole round (probably reading cal's monster class no doubt)

back in the day taylor & her dumb azz dad wuz at the pac 12 basketball tournament in las vegas on our way to try to find some halfway healthy halftime snacks, tay tole me that i probably think in my own mind that more people read my bears stuff than the actual reality...so as we're walking behind the press bench (we wuz sitting in the 1st row behind the team bench next to coach's wife roberta martin) we both notice behind them that literally all dozen of the press corp sitting courtside is reading on either their phone or laptop cal's monster class

whatever

PRIVATE message for michael kim (if ur NOT him do not read this ****, keep ur eyes on ur own ******* paper, got it??)

michael, if u continue to develop with my assistance & ur selected to the american us president's squad for the 2026 EPIC matches at medinah this september then ur girlfriend is gonna be expected to be a big part of the team that week

no need to be super secretive private like justin wilcox (whose longtime partner is from cal football family royalty) re: ur very attractive cbyf1 with great fashion sense (at least better than u with that dumb azz beanie, do u want to wash my windshield at the stoplight??)

look brah, don't stress about this, we can talk more about this after ur wearing a green jacket next sunday nite

I also played Winged Foot West on a brutally windy day when then rolled the greens and grew the rough for their club championship. I was told they were close to US Open standards except for the tee box. That was a round that honestly was much more about survival than enjoyment. Not in a rush to play there again soon, unlike FH and Nanea. I also played a sweet Westchester course called Fenway. Have you ever played there?
