Episode 1521: Unprecedented Pressure On Rory, Huntin’ For Tiger, Brooks Crushes, “Nesbitt Corner” GMAC And Other N.I VIP’s
Is the British Open the greatest international sports event ever hosted on this island? The tournament history, the quality of player, the international media focus, the wealth, the helicopters, the celebs…. the chance of an Irish winner.
Would the crowd be more excited by a Tiger or Rory win? Will Brooks Koepka continue to crush everyone’s dreams? And should a section of the course be called “Nesbitt Corner”?

Eoin goes huntin’ for Tiger, GMAC and assorted NI celebs, Murph tells us about the time he drank cans on the 14th green at Portrtush, and golf historian Ken tells us all about the 1951 hosting of the event.

We are joined by Malachy Clerkin and Alex Myers of Golf Digest to discuss how unlikely it would have been a few years ago that The Open would ever come back to Portrush, how Brooks snubbed Tiger, why Rory and Tiger won’t win, and why Kevin Kisner is a really good shout to contend.
