    Hale Irwin - Part 5 (Final Tour Wins and the 1994 President's Cup)

    Hale Irwin, 3-time winner of the U.S. Open, concludes his look back on his PGA TOUR days by recounting his final few individual and team wins. As a 45-year-old Hale prevailed at the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah with a comeback for the ages. He has fond memories of the 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah, not because of the result but because of the camaraderie and grittiness displayed by both sides. Hale derived much satisfaction from his final win at the 1994 Heritage Golf Classic, his third win at Harbou...

    5-time Ryder Cup player, Hale Irwin covers the middle years of his professional career beginning with a 3-win 1977 and his second Ryder Cup appearance. Hale's 1979 year was pretty special with a U.S. Open triumph at Inverness, a victory in the World Cup partnered with John Mahaffey and another Ryder Cup win in the first year of continental Europeans joining the team.

    20-time winner on the PGA Tour, Hale Irwin takes us back to his early days on Tour and shares the lessons he learned from mentors like Bruce Devlin and Dale Douglas. Surviving the pressures of being a "Monday qualifier", Hale finally closed the deal in his fifth year on Tour, prevailing at the 1973 Sea Pines Heritage Classic. Confidence from that first victory propelled him to success the following year at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot and at the Piccadilly Match Play at Wentworth GC. Listen i...

    Hale Irwin - Part 2 (The U.S. Open Wins)

    World Golf Hall of Fame member Hale Irwin looks back on the importance of notching his first career win at Harbour Town in 1971, the first of three wins at the Heritage. He then relives each of his three U.S. Open victories beginning with 1974 at Winged Foot where he won with a score of +7 as the USGA did not want a repeat of the Johnny Miller final round of 63 at Oakmont the previous year. He prevailed at Inverness Club in 1979 by 2 over Gary Player and Jerry Pate and then, who will forget h...

Listen in as he takes us through his thinking process about playing professionally and ultimately qualifying...

    We conclude our visit with Shaun Micheel, 2003 PGA Championship winner, with a look back at this second-place finish to Tiger Woods in the 2006 PGA at Medinah CC and making it to the final match in the World Match Play at Wentworth GC that same year. Shaun reminisces about making a rare albatross at the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the 2nd player ever to accomplish this feat.

    Shaun Micheel - Part 3 (The 2003 PGA Championship)

    Shaun Micheel begins this episode by recounting his breakthrough win at the 2003 PGA Championship at Oak Hill CC which featured a closing 7-iron shot for the ages to within inches on the hole. Ironically, this triumph only added to the self-induced pressures caused by unmet expectations and unrealized potential for Shaun. While he had another chance at glory with his second place finish to Tiger Woods at the 2006 PGA, Shaun never won again on Tour and began suffering through health issues tha...
