Rawitser Cup
Brian played the Rawitser Cup today (4/12/2010). Rawitser Cup is a four ball match between San Jose MUNI Junior Golf Club and Santa Teresa Junior Golf Club. Brian was in the toughest group in my opinion. Their opponents are Ethan Chung, 8th place in 2009 US Kids World Championship, and Michael Shaw, ranked 1st in Santa Teresa 2010 leader board. Brian and his teammate, William Liu, had only played a couple of tournament thus far. We knew we had no chance to win but this would be a great experience for Brian anyway.

Team captains are about to tee off at the 1st hole.
Below, Ethan is waiting for the fairway to clear before he bombs his drive.
Believe it or not, it was raining hard at 1st hole.
And it became as hot as summer at the 2nd tee.
Below, Michael sunk in his Birdie put at 6th hole. Santa Teresa is leading by 1 after 6 holes.
This is actually beyond my expectation. Brian did pretty good to tie them at 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th holes.
At the end of the day, Brian and William lost by 3 holes.
And overall, San Jose MUNI lost to Santa Teresa by 2-6.
Brian shot 43 for the front 9 holes, which tied his best record at San Jose MUNI.
