About this episode
World Golf Hall of Fame member Hale Irwin looks back on the importance of notching his first career win at Harbour Town in 1971, the first of three wins at the Heritage. He then relives each of his three U.S. Open victories beginning with 1974 at Winged Foot where he won with a score of +7 as the USGA did not want a repeat of the Johnny Miller final round of 63 at Oakmont the previous year. He prevailed at Inverness Club in 1979 by 2 over Gary Player and Jerry Pate and then, who will forget his joyous high-five romp around the 18th green at Medinah in 1990 after draining a 60-footer to tie in regulation at the last. He prevailed in the thrilling Monday playoff with Mike Donald. Hale Irwin continues with his remarkable career story, "FORE the Good of the Game." Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.
