    In what was a pretty unforgettable PGA Championship at Valhalla for the good & all of the bad reasons it was Xander Schauffele who had ice in his veins to win a first major title at a record setting -21 to defeat a fired up Bryson DeChambeau by a shot to claim The Wanamaker Trophy while on the LPGA Tour Nelly Korda made it 6 wins from last 7 starts by beating Hannah Green by a shot at Liberty National for Mizuho Americas Open an event that seen no more than 10 withdrawals last week.

    (Ep 134) PGA Championship & Mizuho Americas Open (with ShallowCal)

    (Ep 134) PGA Championship & Mizuho Americas Open (with ShallowCal)

    Hello & welcome to the 2nd Major Championship of the year for PGA Championship at Valhalla where we have an enthralling Major to look forward to with the 3 Golfing juggernauts of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy & Brooks Koepka all coming into this year’s PGA Championship with a victory! We also have the generational talent Ludvig Åberg, the ever consistent Xander Schauffele & 2x Major Champion Jon Rahm looking to topple the mighty trio! 

    I was joined by a friend of the show this week in Chris Callow (@shallowcalgolf) to give a detailed preview on what to expect at Valhalla this week while we give our thoughts and opinions on some of the best of the rest while in agreement with a couple of picks! Valhalla is a big boy very long golf course which should favour the bigger hitters but take that with a pinch of salt. 

    On the LPGA Tour this week in the midst of an epic Rose Zhang/Madelene Sagstrom dual last week at Founders Cup where they were both 13 & 15 shots ahead of 3rd place Gabi Ruffels, the players are back for the 2nd year of Mizuho Americas Open at the epic Liberty National Golf Club. Craig dives over some of the information & has 5 picks this week while feeling fairly confident on an elite South Korean to go mighty close!

    (Ep 130) James Nicholas

    In this episode Craig is joined by new DP World Tour card holder for 2024 James Nicholas who phones in from New York after his first 5 events in Qatar/Kenya/South Africa & India after gaining DP World Tour card by a shot at Final Stage of DP World Tour Q School at Infinitum!

    A student at Yale University, James turned professional at beginning of 2020 and made starts on the Korn Ferry Tour finishing with a best T13th at Lincoln Land Championship where he would also get a couple of invites on the PGA Tour at Rocket Mortgage Classic & Bermuda Championship. At Yale James openly admits that he was a late bloomer to Golf having been massively into Ice Hockey & Lacrosse but made the switch to Golf after falling out of love with American Football. 

    In 2023 with no full time status on any tour James would Monday qualify into a couple of Korn Ferry Tour events at Magnit Championship & Albertsons Boise Open finishing T16th & T35th respectively. James would go to Q School for DP World Tour starting in Biarritz in France for First Stage, Isla Canela in Huelva, Spain for Second Stage before finishing T22nd at Final Stage at Infinitum Golf finishing -14 in total for 6 Rounds gaining a full DP World Tour card by a shot! 

    A friendly & out going guy with a good swing and a good mentality to go far. Was great to chat with James. I hope he has a successful career.
