In this latest episode of Chasing Pars Golf Podcast in association with Golf Tips Checker Craig is joined by Sunshine Your sensation & 2x winner Ryan van Velzen who phones in from on site of tomorrow’s Sunshine Tour event at Mediclinic Invitational where its a strong field with the likes of Jacques Kruyswijk, Oli Bekker, Danie van Tonder, Benjamin Follett-Smith amongst those playing on the Sunshine Tour this week. Ryan talks us through his journey to the Sunshine Tour via winning twice on Big Easy Tour as an amateur while turning pro in 2021. While first coming on the Sunshine Tour it was none other than multiple time winner on the tour Jaco Van Zyl that took Ryan under his wing and gave him the guidance on what to do and what not to do. Ryan is a 2x winner on Sunshine Tour after winning twice last year at Limpopo Championship after Jaco Prinsloo doubled the last to hand Ryan his first win at that level. Ryan along with good friend Luca Filippi would win together at Bain’s Whisky Ubunye Team Champs in the process Luca winning his maiden Sunshine Tour title. Ryan talks us through his & Luca’s friendship and what makes them tick.  At the end of 2023 at South Africa Open on the DP World Tour Ryan would have an unbelievable week with one of the best performances of his career just falling short of eventual winner Dean Burmester. We go into how that week would give him the belief that he belongs at this level. 23 year old with a great long game with the potential to go very far! One to watch out for!
