1083: Weekly Recap + Se Ri Pak Deep Dive
Episode description
Soly and Randy review the week highlighted by quotes from Rory on captaining the European Ryder Cup team and what he views as successfully growing the game. We also discuss the amateur reinstatement debate and the reported shakeups at PGA Tour HQ before breaking down Tommy’s win in India on the DP World Tour and Sei Young Kim’s win at the BMW Ladies Championship.
In part two (52:00), Randy is joined by Cody and Jordan for a look at the career and legacy of Se Ri Pak. We begin with the origins of golf in her native South Korea and her upbringing and introduction to the game. From there, we learn about the journey to the United States and the LPGA Tour, the pressures she felt from sponsors to compete against the best women in golf, and her major wins - highlighted by the 1998 US Women’s Open. We close with a look at Se Ri’s legacy in the game, particularly the generation of Asian women who have followed her road to success in major championships and the LPGA Tour.
