Rory McIlroy

Mark Chapman is joined by BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter and commentator Katherine Downes for the first episode in a brand new podcast series – All About: The Open.

In this pod, Rory McIlroy reflects on winning The Open in 2014 at Royal Liverpool and why he thinks he hasn’t won a major since his victory at the PGA Championship that same summer.

The panel are joined by Greg Allen from RTE, to give us an insight into what McIlory is really like, and to discuss whether he’ll have another “purple patch” of major wins in his career.

It’s the first episode in 5 Live’s All About: The Open series, to get you in the mood ahead of the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews from 14th July 2022.

A new pod will be released every Thursday only on BBC Sounds
