Chasing Pars Golf Podcast

In the 2nd part of this week's podcast Craig & Jamie briefly go over this week's Porsche European Open in Winsen just outside of Hamburg. Craig has an 80/1 shot he really fancies to go well. We are playing at Green Eagle Golf Courses on the North Course which is ranked in the top 10 for longest courses in Europe playing over 7,000 metres. Paul Casey won this at -14 in 2019 by 1 shot defeating Robert Macintyre, Bernd Ritthammer and Matthias Schwab. Casey starts as very short favourite followed by Abraham Ancer and Bernd Wiesberger. Should be a weird event playing only the 54 holes.

It's major week again with the 2nd major of the year taking place at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in South Carolina for the 2021 US PGA Championship. In 2012 Rory McIlroy won the US PGA Championship by 8 shots to runner up David Lynn and a whole host of European names in the top 20. We are delighted this week to welcome Sam Harrop (Singer/Songwriter/Golf Parodist & ex Oddschecker golf betting writer) follow his YouTube videos on his channel Sam Harrop music. We are also joined by from Nevada in form golfing tipster Luke Walker know as @LukeSweatitOut on Twitter. We were able to grab Luke on after his superb 150/1 winner in KH Lee at the AT&T Byron Nelson and 40/1 winner in Greyson Sigg on the Korn Ferry Tour. Craig, Jamie, Sam & Luke all preview this week's US PGA Championship picking who we feel is best suited towards this beast of tests. We would publicly like to thank Sam & Luke for taking time out of their schedules to join us. Be sure to give them a follow and subscribe to Sam's Music channel on YouTube. Good chat filled with little funny extras.

Ahead of this week's Austrian Golf Open we got the chance to chat to European Tour pro and 1x Challenge Tour winner Dale Whitnell on his very interesting rise to the European Tour. Dale speaks about playing in the 2009 Walker Cup for GB & Ire against USA and what it was like to represent GB & Ire at the time. He also turned pro that year in 2009 starting out on the Challenge Tour from 2010-2013 then dropping back into local tours until getting his chance back on the Challenge Tour in 2019. Dale speaks about what it felt like to beat Laurie Canter in a play off to win the 2019 KPMG Trophy in Belgium winning his maiden title in the Challenge Tour which set him up to where he is today challenging in European Tour events. Was a privilege to talk to Dale. Definitely recommend this one!

In this special episode of the podcast this week we sat down with 2x Sunshine Tour & 1x Challenge Tour winner Rhys Enoch who gives us a good insight into his career progression from winning on the Jamega Tour in 2012 to turning pro in 2013 stating off on the Challenge Tour. We talk about his move to South Africa and how he is really climatising to life in Africa. We talk about how he felt winning Cape Town Open in 2018 to ending a 7 year drought on the Challenge Tour in 2019 by winning The Real Slovakian Open. Rhys gives us an insight into what life is like in the 'bubble' on tour. We were absolutely delighted to have him on here and wish him all the best!

This week we have the first WGC event of the year playing at The Concession course in Florida for the first time, while the lesser PGA players tee it up at the Puerto Rico Open where plenty players are in the mix
