There are two kinds of young guys who win on the tour these days. There are the country club kids like Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth who were pretty much born into it with private locker rooms, towel service and having a private coach since they were little kids. And there are the muni guys like Homa, who grew up playing on an ordinary public course in Valencia, and Morikawa, who toughed it out with group lessons on little more than a Par 3 course in Glendale. I like the muni guys better. That they both went to Cal makes it all the more enjoyable.
I knew he was in contention so checked late in the round. I watched through the end and was bummed when he missed on 18 but he came through at the end. Congrats to him.
I thot he blew it on the first playoff up against that tree!! As noted in the tweet in the article, he showed no frustration or demise, just came up and did what he had to do to take care of business! Well, he REALLY took care of business on the next hole, but....
I hope Morikawa holds on today. And I wish Homa said that he couldn't wear red (to honor Woods) because CAL. I don't own anything red either!

I love when Homa and Morikawa take out their Cal BEARS score books, or carry them exposed in their back pockets.

I thought he blew it when that putt lipped out.
