Golf Podcast: next on the tee

In Part 2 of Episode 48, I'm joined by 1978 PGA Champion John Mahaffey.

John takes us back to his incredible comeback at the 1978 PGA Championship at Oakmont, where he rallied from 7 strokes down with 14 holes to play to defeat Tom Watson. He also reflects on his memories of Arnold Palmer in honor of what would have been Arnie’s 95th birthday. John shares his thoughts on the current fractured state of the Tours and how things might have been different if Deane Beman were still Commissioner. We also discuss his time at the University of Houston, where he won the 1970 National Championship and helped the team win multiple national championships during college.
