Show notes

Eight-time PGA Tour champion and FOX golf broadcaster Brad Faxon joins The Clubhouse to discuss the incredible championship match that went down over the week at The Riviera Country Club. The U.S. Amateur final had Doc Redman taking on Doug Ghim and considering the back and forth, and amazing play, of both players, it was worth the chat. Later in the episode, Faxon talked about his own history at Riviera, a 63 in the final round of the 1995 PGA Championship, and how much he remembers from that round, plus his recent hole-in-one in San Diego during a match with Shane. Also, Brad talks about his lone experience on the Walker Cup back in 1983 and what crazy thing happened to him on the first tee of his first match representing the United States.
