EP56: Celebrants of the PGA

The Chipping Forecast

It’s the start of PGA week, although not the very start since Iain was flying on Monday and Eddie was taking advantage of a very generous offer of golf at Walton Heath at a perfectly respectable tee-time. So it is a slightly delayed pod which the trio make up for by wondering if Rory McIlroy’s victory at Quail Hollow installs him as favourite for the second men’s major of the year. Or will Koepka bring his big-stage game to the fore again? And will Scheffler be rusty after giving his first-born two surnames?

The trio also go into the history of the US PGA and the many honours of an often-forgotten British great of the game. Meanwhile lots of people tell us that their golf club does very good coffee, about which Eddie remains very sceptical indeed.

And we are happy to offer a correction here, that Graham Carruthers scored 113 at Clitheroe. Not 116.
