In this episode of The Draw, hosts Nathan and Brian dive into how Hannah Green gave Aussies something to cheer for when she won the Women’s Australian Open on the Ladies European Tour, becoming the first Australian woman – since Karrie Webb – to win the event since 2014. To add to the excitement, Aussie Cassie Porter shot a Sunday course record to finish T2.
The hosts then cover the Players Championship, where Cameron Young beat Matthew Fitzpatrick after Ludvig Åberg’s back-nine water penalties. It was hard to miss Young’s huge drive on 18 to help seal the deal. A fun storyline coming out of TPC Sawgrass was YouTube-taught pro Sudarshan Yellamaraju posting a T5 finish and winning $925,000 before announcing his withdrawal from the Valspar Championship.
Previews this week include the LPGA’s Fortinet Founders Cup, the DP World Tour’s Hainan Classic and the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship.
The hosts also discuss commissioner Jay Monahan’s proposed PGA Tour changes, including a shorter season and more match play.
