Collin Morikawa parts with caddie Joe Greiner, employs former Cal teammate for Rocket Classic
After just five tournaments, Morikawa and looper Joe Greiner have split, Morikawa confirmed to Golfweek on Wednesday. Korn Ferry Tour player K.K. Limbhasut, Morikawa's former college teammate at Cal, will make a spot start on the bag for this week's Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club.
Morikawa hired Greiner after parting ways with the only caddie of his pro career, J.J. Jakovac, following the RBC Heritage in late April. Greiner, who was Max Homa's longtime caddie, worked a couple tournaments filling in for Justin Thomas' regular caddie, Matt Minister, including at Harbour Town, where Thomas won. With Greiner as caddie, Morikawa notched three top-25s, though nothing better than T-17, at the Truist Championship, their first event together.
The report did not state who Morikawa will have on the bag after this week.
Limbhasut has made nine starts on the KFT this season and ranks No. 159 on the tour's points list.

Will golf's major season begin and end with career grand slam? Here's who could join Rory
The 2025 major season began with career grand slam mania. Could it end that way? Minjee Lee certainly has a strong case for it at the AIG Women's British Open. The Aussie collected her third different major title at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship last month in Frisco, Texas, adding to her 2021 Amundi Evian Championship and 2022 U.S. Women's Open titles. The 29-year-old opened the AIG Women's British Open with a 2-under 70 at Royal Porthcawl, putting her in fine position to make a run. In 11 previous Women's British Open appearances, Lee has five top-11 finishes. She also finished one shot out of the playoff earlier this month at the Evian, won by Grace Kim. "I don't think I'm going to complain with a 2-under start," she said after Thursday's round in Wales. "Some of the holes are just beasts out there." The LPGA recognizes seven players as having won the career grand slam: Louise Suggs (1957), Mickey Wright (1962), Pat Bradley (1986), Juli Inkster (1999), Karrie Webb (2001), Annika Sorenstam (2003) and Inbee Park (2015). After the LPGA added a fifth major, tour officials deemed that players who have won four different majors available in their careers will have accomplished the career grand slam. Those who have won five different majors will have won the super career grand slam. Webb is the only player to have won the super career grand slam. That happened in 2002 when she won the Weetabix Women's British Open. She'd previously won the McDonald's LPGA Championship, U.S. Women's Open, Nabisco Championship and du Maurier Classic. Lee is one of five active players on the LPGA who need one more major title to achieve the career grand slam. She's joined by Lydia Ko, Anna Nordqvist, In Gee Chun and Yani Tseng. Chun and Lee are the only two players in the field this week who need the AIG to get it done. Ko told Golfweek earlier in the year that in her book, she needs all five to achieve the career grand slam. "I think for me, like all five is the goal," added Lee last week in Scotland, "so I think it's just different for us because we have five and we don't have four. I think it should be – I don't know what it should be, but I just think for me, five is the goal."

Mariners' Cal Raleigh breaks tie with Mickey Mantle after 421-foot HR vs. Angels
The post Mariners' Cal Raleigh breaks tie with Mickey Mantle after 421-foot HR vs. Angels appeared first on ClutchPoints. Cal Raleigh made MLB history that saw him pass Mickey Mantle during Sunday's contest between the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels. Going into the game, Raleigh racked up 40 home runs. He has shined as one of the best hitters in the majors, which he emphasized with this solo shot to right field that soared up to 421 feet in the air during the seventh inning. He ended up making history with that homer. According to MLB analyst Sarah Langs, Raleigh broke a tie with Mantle (1961) for the most home runs by a switch-hitter in the first 106 games of a season. 'Cal Raleigh's 41 home runs break a tie with 1961 Mickey Mantle for most by a switch-hitter in his team's first 106 games of a season,' Langs wrote. How Cal Raleigh, Mariners played against Angels Despite Cal Raleigh's impressive feat, it wasn't enough as the Mariners lost 4-1 to the Angels in the series finale. Seattle struggled on offense all game aside from Raleigh's solo shot. Out of 29 at-bats, they only landed two hits, showing how effective Los Angeles was at limiting their opponent's chances. On the other side of the field, the Mariners' bullpen didn't have the worst performance. However, they gave up hits that proved to be damaging to their side. They kept the Angels scoreless until the fifth inning, giving up all four runs in that frame, including a two-run blast from Mike Trout. Logan Gilbert received the loss for the night, being on the mound for five innings as he struck out seven batters while giving up four runs and three hits. Seattle fell to a 56-50 record on the season, holding the second spot of the AL West Division standings. They are four games behind the Houston Astros for the top seed. The Mariners look to bounce back in their next series, remaining on the road. They face the Athletics as Game 1 will take place on July 28 at 10:05 p.m. ET.

Tom Brady on Scottie Scheffler about being a better father, husband than a good golfer
Scottie Scheffler made it clear at the 153rd British Open that faith and family come first in his life. The winner of four majors, including two this season, and 17 PGA Tour titles said the satisfaction that comes with winning golf tournaments is great but it is fleeting. Scheffler has been praised in many circles for his ability to prioritize what matters most in his life while still being the world No. 1 and amid a dominant run drawing comparisons to Tiger Woods at his finest. Everyone seems to have an opinion on Scheffler's comments, including NFL great Tom Brady, winner of a record seven Super Bowls, who weighed in and questioned why they have to be mutually exclusive."Scottie said he'd rather be a better father and husband than a good golfer. And my question is: why are those mutually exclusive?" Brady wrote in his most recent newsletter. "Sure, they're different blocks on the pyramid, but they're part of the same pyramid. They're connected! For instance, I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football."He added: "My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused — those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives."Scheffler gave a memorable press conference ahead of the British Open, where he was candid about how golf isn't his be all and end all."This is not a fulfilling life," Scheffler said. "It's fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart ... that's why I talk about family being my priority, because it really is. I'm blessed to be able to come out here and play golf, but if my golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or my son, that's going to be the last day that I play out here for a living."Brady retired in 2022 before coming back for one more season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
