On this week's Back 9 Report, hosts Fred Altvater and Carlos Torres talk through the golf headlines of the week that was.

Si Woo Kim, a 21-year-old from Korea, became the youngest to ever win The Players Championship. He remained calm down the stretch and used a precision short game to save pars and collect the three-shot win.

They speak with Greg Norman, as he talks about Sergio Garcia’s win at the Masters, why he doesn’t play much golf anymore, what golf taught him to be successful in business and a global golf tour.

They also discuss the possibility of President Trump promoting a federal program to build public golf courses in the U.S.
