These boys went to preschool together 20 yrs ago. They ran around together so much, we dubbed them “The Three Amigos.” Today, Bryan (middle) made his MLB debut for the Mariners in Arlington, Texas — and Trevin (my son) and Jason were both there to watch. So cool! Congrats, Bryan!

Quick update 25-plus months later: Bryan retired all three batters he faced in his All-Star debut tonight, on eight pitches. Stud!

Cool outing today at ⁦@TheOlympicClub⁩ (zoom in for peek at Golden Gate Bridge). Rough is crazy thick and greens super firm/fast ahead of next month’s U.S. Amateur. ⁦@USGA⁩ ain’t messing around

Hell yeah!

Steph Curry and Annika Sorenstam both came up short today in the ⁦@ACChampionship⁩. But Sorenstam chases the same prize as Curry and other celebrated male athletes at Edgewood, and that’s pretty cool. One final story from Tahoe: sfchronicle.com/sports/article…

Jimmy Butler swung by Edgewood today to say hello to Steph Curry

One final Steph Curry hoops video from Tahoe. One miss and one swish.

Another birdie on No. 8, and now he’s tied for second and only 2 points back. Curry flurry on the course, just like hoops

Steph Curry enters Sunday's final round tied for 9th in Tahoe celebrity golf. Curry on his chances: "It’s a longshot to win, but I’m very proud it’s not out of the question. I could get hot early and see what happens. I can go to sleep thinking I might have a chance."

Steph Curry took a brief break from golf on his way to 18 tee, to take a few shots in his first sport

Steph Curry struggled mightily on front nine, with two double bogeys and no birdies … until he made this one on No. 9. Stay for his reaction.

Charles Barkley didn’t suck on the golf course today. He found this enormously satisfying, but it also didn’t stop him from making fun of the old Chuck. Story from Tahoe: sfchronicle.com/sports/article…

Charles Barkley, asked about how he's grinded and grinded and grinded on his golf game over the years: "And sucked and sucked and sucked." Barkley posted his lowest round ever today (9 points) in the @ACChampionship. He's tied for 24th going into Saturday's second round.
