The 19th Hole Golf Show: Jordan Spieth’s Open win and the future of caddying

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


After an incredible finale to the 2017 British Open Championship, Ryan Ballengee looks back at the championship-clinching stretch by Jordan Spieth as an example of why he's the best golfer of his generation. Spieth is a different kind of player that should be appreciated for who he is, not compared to the likes of Nicklaus and Woods.

Then Mike Maher from the Evans Scholars Foundation joins us to talk caddying and its future, the lessons from caddying and how nearly 1,000 kids are going to college through their caddy-to-scholarship program.
