The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is the home to the 2021 PGA Championship this week, and the focus of almost the entirety of our podcast this week.  The Ocean Course is the scene of Rory McIlroy’s record breaking win back in 2012 as he went on to win his second Major, and – spoiler alert – he is the favourite of both hosts this week, given his recent win…

Rory McIlroy is back! Following a mini break after the Masters spending time with Swing Coach guru Pete Cowan, Putting Maestro Brad Faxon, and Mental Sensei Bob Rotella, Rory showed the golfing world that he was still a force to be reckoned with at a familiar stomping ground.  For the third time in his career, Rory won the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow to catapult back into the top…
