Show Notes
We have a South African edition of The First Cut with today’s special guest Erik van Rooyen. Most golf fans probably recognize Erik van Rooyen from the 2020 WGC-Mexico Championship where he finished T3. Just when van Rooyen was building momentum into the Players and heart of the PGA Tour season the world ran into the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us as Erik dives into his inspiration to take up the game and his upbringing in South Africa (3:30). We also go in depth about what it’s like to earn your stripes and rise to the top of professional golf’s ranks (10:00). Erik also let’s us into his mindset on the revised PGA Tour schedule and where he will play once golf resumes (24:00). Stick around to the end of the episode where Kyle gets a lesson in South African slang from Mark and Erik (27:18).
