Listen Later

Welcome to this week's episode of the PaddyTalks Golf Podcast powered by ForeGolf Custom, for an exclusive interview with one of golf's most exciting young talents, Gavin Tiernan! Fresh off his incredible run to the final of The Amateur Championship at Royal St. George's, Gavin sits down with us to share the inside story of his dramatic week, his journey from a pre-qualifier to the brink of victory, and what it takes to compete at the highest level of amateur golf.

In this must-listen episode, we delve into:

  • The Amateur Championship Thriller: Hear first-hand accounts of Gavin's remarkable progression through the prestigious tournament, including his underdog status (World Amateur Golf Ranking 1,340th before the event!) , and the nail-biting 36-hole final against Ethan Fang. Discover how he rallied from 2-down with three holes to play with clutch birdies on 16 and 17.   
  • Mastering Links Golf: Learn how his deep roots at County Louth Golf Club, a renowned links course he's been a member of since age eight , prepared him for the unique challenges of Royal St. George's.   
  • Life as an ETSU Buccaneer: Gavin shares insights into his golf scholarship experience at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) , the transition to US collegiate golf, and the profound impact of Head Coach Aaron O’Callaghan (a familiar face to PaddyTalks listeners!) on his game, particularly his mental fortitude.   
  • The Power of the Mental Game: Explore Gavin's "one shot at a time" philosophy , his strategies for staying grounded under immense pressure (even with Open, Masters, and US Open exemptions on the line!) , and his holistic approach to training, prioritising rest and hydration during gruelling weeks.   
  • Junior Triumphs & Future Aspirations: Reflect on his successful junior career and get a glimpse into his strategic pathway towards a potential professional golf career.   


Don't miss this inspiring conversation with a true rising star in Irish and international amateur golf!
