Fairway to Heaven: Graeme McDowell on U.S. Open Win and Road Tripping with a Pigeon

Graeme McDowell joins Jerry Foltz and Su-Ann Heng on Fairway to Heaven to discuss his love of golf, football (or soccer), whiskey, and horse racing. The 2010 U.S. Open champion talks about what it meant to his dad to win on Father’s Day, investing in his hobbies outside of golf, and how he deals with pressure on the golf course. McDowell shares his fun facts about time spent with Sir Alex Ferguson and Lou Holtz and why his son’s favorite golfer in the world is Talor Gooch.
