SHANE WITH FORMER CADDIE

R&A launches podcast to celebrate history of The Open Championship

The R&A has launched a new podcast, The Open Conversation, which features exclusive stories of The Open Championship as told by many of the world’s greatest golfers.

Regular host George Harper Jnr and guest presenter Iain Carter (BBC Sport) are joined by a series of Champion Golfers, including Tom Watson, Padraig Harrington, Shane Lowry, Louis Oosthuizen, Francesco Molinari and Mark Calcavecchia, in conversations about their memories of lifting the famous Claret Jug.

European Tour stars Matthew Fitzpatrick and Robert Macintyre talk about their Open debuts and the first tee nerves that come with playing alongside the world’s best players in front of the packed grandstands, while Ryder Cup hero Tommy Fleetwood reflects on last year’s runner-up finish at Royal Portrush.
