Ep42: Min Woo Lee is Cooking! Cam Smith's Performance, Does Australia Get a 2nd LIV Event?

Sandwiched between the Australian PGA and the Australian Open, it's a huge week on Talk Birdie To Me.

Marko announces that Nick O'Hern has officially 'made it'. He explains why, but then Nick lets us all down by revealing he forgot to bring wine to toast Min Woo Lee's huge win in Brisbane. Nick and Mark discuss Min Woo Lee's performance. Absolute superstar, full of highlights. Nick and Mark analyse his performance, what went well, and his recovery after a shaky start to the 4th round. They love him, although Nick has a small concern about his putting.

Both loved seeing him play with Adam Scott on Saturday, and Mark was pleased to see Curtis Luck do well.

Cam Smith missed the cut, and Nick and Mark discuss his emotional reaction to it and what may have contributed to that. Mark isn't concerned about Cam, he had a bad week, but he's 'one helluva player'. Conversation about appearance money, Nick tells us about a time he was paid appearance money in Europe....but he won't reveal the amount, despite Mark pushing for it!

Still on Brisbane, Nick talks about Nicolas Colsaerts being mic'd up in the commentary, and dropping the f-bomb live on air. And hitting the wrong ball!

What was the Royal Queensland course like? Mark is curious and asks Nick to talk us through it.

The new LIV schedule is out, Nick and Mark discuss. Does Australia get another event? there are two spots yet to be announced. There are some LIV/PGA event clashes, which Nick talks us throug; along with the Jon Rahm rumours which Nick and Mark are dubious about.

Exciting news for Nick, his new PING clubs have arrived ad he is like a kid in a candy shop. Nick talks us through them, he is very excited.

Greg from the Central Coast calls in with a comment about our caddy conversation last week.

Lots of feedback this week, which we love - keep it coming - including Peter who wants to apply for a job with Talk Birdie To Me.

PING global results are back with Nick O'Hern, not a lot of Aussies around the globe this week given the PGA tournament in Brisbane, but still a few results to run through. Nick does start differently with the Greg Norman medal winner.

Great Top 5 this week from Nick, controversial as Mark disagrees with Nicks selections. Leading to a vigorous debate. In honour of Min Woo Lee and Minjee Lee, Nick counts down the Top 5 siblings in golf. If you reckon he's missed one, let us know.

And a great Masterclass from Mark this week, revisiting an older one on the importance of your backswing when matching how far you want to hit the ball.
