Shibuno is golf's newest star as the men head into the playoffs
Listen now
Description
This week Iain Carter and Andrew Cotter reflect on Hinako Shibuno's historic victory in the Women's British Open at Woburn. The 20 year old became only the second Japanese player to win a major and remarkably she did so at her first attempt, playing outside her home country for the first time in her career. She also captured the hearts of the crowds with her engaging, charismatic personality. Meanwhile the men's PGA Tour season came to a close ahead of this month's playoffs, which will take place without some familiar names. Iain and Andrew also reveal their lowest ever scores and Andrew spots a rule change just in time (you have to listen to the very end to find out).
