Summary
Thirty years after one of the most memorable U.S. Amateur finals ever played, Steve Scott joins Gary Williams to look back on his legendary 38-hole battle with Tiger Woods at Pumpkin Ridge in 1996. Scott shares what it was like facing Woods at the height of his amateur dominance, the famous moment when he reminded Tiger to move his ball marker back, and why that act of sportsmanship still represents what makes golf different. He also looks at this week’s U.S. Amateur at Merion, the rise of Miles Russell, and how elite amateur golf has changed over the last 30 years. Plus, writer, director, and star Jeff Ryan joins the show to discuss his new golf-centered film, “Mooch,” and how his own experiences as a caddie helped inspire the story. Gary also breaks down notable players entering the FedExCup Playoffs and the surprising “curse” facing the world’s No. 1-ranked amateur at the U.S. Amateur.
