Fresh off his victory at the Country Club of Birmingham, Ryley Heath joins The Cart Barn Podcast to discuss the journey that led to one of the biggest amateur titles in the state. But this conversation is about much more than one tournament. Ryley reflects on growing up at Burning Tree Country Club, learning the game alongside his sister Ginger, and the players and mentors who helped shape him into one of Alabama's top amateurs. He explains why difficult golf courses helped his game, how practicing every day at Silver Lakes transformed his short game and mental toughness, and why Jacksonville State became the perfect place for his development. The conversation also revisits the dramatic final round at the Country Club of Birmingham, including the birdie on the 72nd hole that secured the championship, what was going through his mind under pressure, and how that victory earned him a place in this year's U.S. Amateur Championship at Merion Golf Club.
