Podcast appearances and mentions of karrie webb

After a massive weekend in the US Women's Open at Erin Hills, and a big tournament at 'Jacks Place', Ala Memorial, we're back with a busy Talk Birdie To Me podcast last today. Nick and Mark were very impressed with Maja Stark in her win in the US Open, Nick says she is 'an outstanding player', and Mark agrees, bit admits to not paying a huge amount of attention to her prior to the weekend. Nick has followed her for a while and fills Mark in on her backstory.Whilst he loved Maja's win, Mark dislikes the Erin Hills course and explains why, Nick discusses the setup of the greens, and why he felt it could have been better. Mark's view is that is was set up to deliver boring golf, Nick feels if it was windy that would have livened it up. Whilst Maya was impressive, on form Nick feels Nelly Korda probably should have won but her putting lets her down, and he explains why. Nick then raises the women's 'super slam' and the only player to win it.....who just happens to be an Aussie! Mark cannot believe that this achievement from the legendary Karrie Webb slips under the radar, he also can't believe that Karen Lunn still is not credited with having won a major.Onto Memorial. Having played it, Nick describes is as 'a Players week'., he loved it. And he said it always feels special when Jack Nicklaus is around. Nick tells a story about playing Memorial, and mid-tournament being in the breakfast area, when Jack asked to join him, Nick describes it as one of the greatest conversations he's ever had. Scottie Scheffler killed it again. He plays the 'right shots at the right time' according to Nick. Mark starts banging on about Sepp Straka again, and Nick and Dan ban him from putting Straka in our Betr multi next week.And then. Mark is worked up over a new Top 100 list he has seen - the Worlds Top 100 Golf Courses list which he believes contains some appalling oversights. Nick and Mark run through the list and discuss what shouldn't be there, and what should. Nicks changes his Top 5 plans in the turn and decides to do the the Top 5 courses that should have made the Worlds Top 100 Golf Courses list but didn't.Feedback and we start with some constructive criticism from wolfpacker Jeff. Then into comments on LIV buying into the DPWT, and reaction to Marks comments last week of: 'are you a LIV lover or a PGA hater'. Big PING global results this week from Nick, particularly as there were two big events over the weekend. And Marks masterclass, inspired by Maja Stark, on 'hovering' the club.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

With honesty and humor, Jane reflects on the realities of life on tour—moments of quiet solitude after victory, the grind of relentless travel, and the friendships that made it all worthwhile.Jane shares unforgettable stories from her international triumphs, including wins in Australia, Japan, and Jamaica.

We dive into her hot streak in the early '90s, her close call with Karrie Webb in a marathon playoff, and the joy of representing the U.S. in the 1996 Solheim Cup—the first American team to win on foreign soil.With trademark humility and warmth, Jane offers a unique window into a globetrotting career filled with trophies, lessons, and laughter.

Masters week, one of the most exciting weeks in world golf! Nick and Mark loved seeing some of the pictures and videos of Drive, Chip and Putt Day at Augusta at the weekend, and were impressed with some of the young ones, but amazed at the composure of the kids playing in front of some icons of the game.But back to the Masters.

But it wasn't enough to nail the win with youngster Akshay Bhatia holding on under enormous pressure for the win. Nick and Mark talk about how incredible it was to see such a performance from the young Akshay when Denny was coming for him. Mark says, in Moneyball style, he doesn't believe that Akshay would be chosen in a team environment, as he doesn't have, on the surface, the attributes you look for - yet he is developing into a wonderful golfer, and Mark loves it and this is one of the things he loves about golf, the only measure that matters is the score you shoot.A fun Top 5 from Nick, Aussie superstar Karrie Webb made this list, remember this?Pod listener Damian calls in with a question about his driver, he has just bought a new PING G430 Max 10k driver and loves it, but has a question for Nick and Mark about shafts.And being Masters week - we get Nick and Marks tips.

Television coverage will be in prime time on the East Coast. Karrie Webb believes even casual viewers will be watching because so many fans know Pebble Beach. Some of the memories from past U.S. Opens include Jack Nicklaus hitting the 17th pin with a 1-iron and Tiger Woods winning by 15 shots. Now it’s the women’s turn. NCAAFB – Ex-Florida QB Jalen Kitna agrees to plea deal; drops 5 felony child porn counts Ex-Florida quarterback Jalen Kitna, the son of retired NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, has agreed to a plea deal that will dismiss five felony child pornography charges stemming from his arrest last November. Kitna instead pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of second-degree misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Eighth Judicial Circuit Judge Susan Miller-Jones placed Kitna on six months’ probation for each count but did not levy a fine or require the 20-year-old to register as a sex offender. The Gators dismissed Kitna from the team days after his arrest. Formula 1 – FIA wonders how it can deny GM a spot on Formula 1 grid, president tells AP The president of the FIA is telling The Associated Press the motorsports governing body has received more than five applications for expansion into Formula One. The applicant Mohammed Ben Sulayem says he is taking most seriously is Andretti Global because of its partnership with General Motors. Although the existing F1 teams are against expansion because it would dilute revenue, Ben Sulayem told AP it makes little sense to reject General Motors and exclude the top automaker in the United States from F1 competition. A decision is expected by the end of July. MWL – Midwest League Baseball Last Night Fort Wayne 6, West Michigan 1 Great Lakes 4, Dayton 2 Lake County 3, Lansing 2 Peoria 6, South Bend 6, Susp.

Oakland won for the fourth time in five games. The majors-worst Athletics, who hadn’t shut out an opponent all season before a 1-0 victory Tuesday night, held the Tigers scoreless for the first 17 innings of the series. The Tigers only had two baserunners in the first seven innings and both were erased on double plays. Miguel Cabrera broke the scoreless streak with an RBI double in the eighth. Athletics starter Austin Pruitt retired all nine batters he faced. Ken Waldichuk (2-5) allowed three runs on two hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings. Detroit’s Eduardo Rodriguez (4-5) returned from a ruptured pulley in his index finger to make his first start since May 28. He gave up five runs on six hits in four innings.. Cubs 4, Brewers 3 – Mike Tauchman keys 3-run 9th in the Cubs’ 4-3 victory over the Brewers Mike Tauchman doubled in two runs and scored in a three-run ninth inning off All-Star closer Devin Williams and the Chicago Cubs rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Wednesday night. Cody Bellinger greeted Williams (4-2) in the ninth with a bloop single to center. After Christopher Morel struck out, Jared Young singled on a dribbler to third. Both runners advanced on a groundout and Tauchman sliced an opposite-field double to left to tie it at 3. Tauchman scored the go-ahead run when Nico Hoerner reached on a throwing error by third baseman Brian Anderson. Michael Rucker (2-1) got the victory with two innings of scoreless relief. Adbert Alzolay threw a perfect ninth for his fifth save in six opportunities. Blue Jays at White Sox – PPD – Blue Jays-White Sox game postponed, to be made up Thursday as a doubleheader The scheduled game between the Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays was postponed because of rain and is set to be made up as part of a doubleheader on Thursday. Toronto’s José Berríos and Chicago’s Lance Lynn will meet in Game 1 after having their scheduled starts pushed back a day. Yusei Kikuchi gets the ball in the nightcap for the Blue Jays. The White Sox have not announced a starter. The Blue Jays are not scheduled to visit the White Sox again this season. Today Oakland (Harris 2-2) at Detroit (Lorenzen 2-6), 1:10 p.m.                   News/Talk/Sports 94.9 WSJM 12:45 Chicago Cubs (Stroman 9-6) at Milwaukee (Peralta 5-7), 2:10 p.m. Toronto (Berríos 8-6) at Chicago White Sox (Lynn 5-8), 5:10 p.m., 1st game Toronto (Kikuchi 7-3) at Chicago White Sox (TBD), 8:40 p.m., 2nd game MLB – Luis Robert Jr. and Pete Alonso lead the field for baseball’s Home Run Derby Chicago White Sox All-Star Luis Robert Jr. and two-time champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets are set to participate in baseball’s Home Run Derby in Seattle. Robert earned the top seed in an eight-player field announced Wednesday that includes Seattle’s Julio Rodríguez, 2018 American League MVP Mookie Betts, Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Tampa Bay’s Randy Arozarena, Texas’ Adolis García and Baltimore’s Adley Rutschman. Alonso will try to join Ken Griffey Jr. as the only three-time champions. Robert will go against Rutschman in the first round, with Alonso facing Rodriguez. Betts meets Guerrero, and García goes against Arozarena. The seeding was determined by home run totals through Tuesday. Tiebreakers went to the player with the most homers since June 15. MLB – Cameraman at Yankee Stadium injured by wild throw A cameraman has been injured at Yankee Stadium and taken to the hospital after he was hit in the head by a wild throw from Baltimore Orioles rookie shortstop Gunnar Henderson. Positioned next to New York’s dugout on the first-base side, Pete Stendel of YES Network was struck by a hurried throw from Henderson, who fired high to first as he tried to complete a double play. After the game, YES said Stendel was conscious and undergoing tests in the hospital. Play was delayed about 17 minutes as Stendel received medical attention in the camera well. Yankees and Orioles players, including Henderson, watched in obvious concern at a hushed ballpark. Stendel was strapped onto a stretcher and carted off the field, raising and wagging two fingers to loud applause. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Last Night Minnesota Lynx 90, Indiana Fever 83 Lynx 90, Fever 83 – Collier scores 32 points, Lynx beat Fever 90-83 for their fourth straight victory Napheesa Collier had 32 points and eight rebounds, Kayla McBride added 21 points and the Minnesota Lynx beat the Indiana Fever 90-83 for their fourth straight victory. Minnesota took its first double-digit lead with 4:01 left in the fourth quarter on a free throw by Collier to make it 80-70. Indiana scored six straight points to get within 82-76 following Lexie Hull’s steal and fast-break layup, but Collier answered at the other end for an eight-point lead with 1:12 left. Lindsay Allen scored 16 points for Minnesota (8-9). Rookie Diamond Miller, coming off a career-high 25 points, was held to one point in 24 minutes. Aliyah Boston had 22 points and nine rebounds and NaLyssa Smith added 18 points and 11 rebounds for Indiana. NBA – Antetokounmpo had knee surgery this offseason, should be ready for training camp Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had surgery on his left knee during the offseason. But Milwaukee coach Adrian Griffin said Wednesday the two-time MVP should be ready for training camp. Griffin said after a practice with the Bucks’ summer league team that Antetokounmpo had a “routine” procedure and “it went great.” Antetokounmpo finished third in MVP balloting this past season, during which he missed 11 games for what the team called left knee soreness. It’s unclear whether the surgery will prevent Antetokounmpo from playing for Greece in the World Cup, which begins Aug. 25. Tennis – Djokovic and Swiatek won at Wimbledon. Protests and rain capture the attention The developments at Wimbledon include Novak Djokovic joining Roger Federer and Serena Williams as the only players in tennis history to win 350 Grand Slam matches. A runner-up two years ago, Karolina Pliskova, exited in the first round against a qualifier. A player seeded No. 8, Maria Sakkari, took the opening set 6-0 but managed to lose. Ho-hum. Those turned out to be among the least unusual happenings around the All England Club on Day 3 of this year’s tournament. That’s because so much of the buzz around the place Wednesday concerned protests and, yes, rain.. Golf – LPGA – Pebble Beach is giving the best female golfers a chance at US Open history Pebble Beach is holding another U.S. Open. And this time the best female golfers get their chance to add to all the lore. The U.S. Women’s Open comes to the most famous U.S. Open course for the first time.

Our guest on Tee for Two today is Hannah Green. Hannah recently made golf history by not only taking out two gender-neutral tournaments in succession in Victoria, Australia - the 2022 Vic Open and the Webex Players Series Murray River – but, in winning the second she became not only the first female to win one of The Players Series events in Australia but the first woman to win a four-round mixed gender tournament on any major tour in the world. In doing so, she has succeeded in making a strong statement about women professional golfers as well as placing Australia in the spotlight. To say her achievement has created news is an understatement, with it receiving attention on major news outlets around the world as well as global golf forums. Hannah is no stranger to big achievement. In 2019 she became a Rolex First-Time Winner on the LPGA Tour in no less than one of the game's majors, the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. This was the first wire-to-wire victory at a major since 2011 and the first major win by an Australian since her mentor and good friend Karrie Webb in 2006. Hannah also represented Australia in the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo and later in the year won the $1million AON Risk Reward Challenge. Through it all, she has remained someone with a down to earth attitude, a sense of fun, a commitment to giving back and a tremendous ambassador for the game and for women's golf. We are very fortunate that she has been able to spend some time to talk with us today. Tee for Two is hosted by Karen Harding. It is produced on the traditional country of the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation in Victoria, Australia, and offers respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.

Not only by her 12 LPGA tournament wins so far, including two majors, or the fact that she was the first American woman in more than 20 years to win the LPGA Triple Crown — no, there’s more to it. Because a girl who grew up in a back brace, as she did, would not be a prime candidate to turn pro, let alone become number one in the world. She has stepped into controversy — less as a disruptor and more as a leader. She has inspired change and driven change. The companies she represents as a brand ambassador, such as KPMG, Marathon Petroleum, and now, Stephens, Inc., know to turn to her for much more than just club selection and putting tips.   Key Takeaways: [:19] Ray Hoffman introduces the guest, Stacy Lewis. [1:15] Stacy has a degree in Finance and Accounting from the University of Arkansas. This is a good qualification for talking about the business of being a professional golfer. [1:28] Stacy had planned to get a regular job after school and not play professional golf. [1:40] Ray lists some of Stacy’s many college golf awards that pointed her toward success as a professional golfer. [1:54] Before college, academics was her focus. In the last couple of years of college, she started considering a professional golf path. [2:13] How does Stacy apply her finance and accounting knowledge? It feels like her own little business. She talks about hiring, firing, and payroll, and accounting. Her classes prepared her for it. She pays another person to do her taxes. [2:55] Stacy is CEO of Stacy Lewis. She runs her business on an Excel spreadsheet. [3:19] Professional golfers are independent contractors. Stacy explains what that means. No one else is making decisions for you. A lot of people are not prepared for that. There’s a lot of pressure to play well because you have a lot of people to pay before you get the money, especially if you have no sponsorships. [4:28] In college, Stacy did not know how much of a team she would need to employ as a professional golfer. She keeps her team really small. She wants people she trusts to tell her if she needs to change anything. She has a caddy, a swing coach, a trainer, an agent, a financial adviser, and an accountant. Plus her husband and her parents. [5:50] Stacy contrasts the PGA and LPGA purse payouts. Stacy does not ever see the purses being equal in the twenty or thirty years she has left in her career. She expects the gap to get smaller. For now, women are making about a third of what men make. Today, women can make a living out of playing professional golf, more than before. [7:23] Women tennis players have reached parity with men players. Venus Williams was a driver of that. It helped that men and women play at the same courts at the same time. It would take bringing the PGA and LPGA together to the same course to create change like that. The European Tour and the LPGA met at the Vic Open in Australia. It’s progress. [9:15] What would it take to make a joint PGA/LPGA tour? A lot of money is needed to make the two purses equal. [9:56] A smaller number of golfers from each organization would probably play, for a smaller purse. PGA players and audiences are sometimes surprised by the level of play in the LPGA. [10:38] LPGA play is more relatable for the average male amateur player who does not drive as far as a PGA player. There is more finesse to the women’s game and more feel in the wedges and putter. [11:10] Stacy would like to see a joint tournament at a Links course in Scotland, but it could be done anywhere. The biggest issue would be the course setup with tees. Links Golf is Stacy’s favorite style of golf. [12:11] Stacy had a drought from 2014 to 2017 where she didn’t win a single tournament. In 2017, when she won a $195K purse, she donated the check to Hurricane victims in Houston. The Tuesday before the tournament the thought came to her, and she called her husband to discuss it. He said, “Let’s go win the thing!” It gave her a focus. [13:04] Stacy is a fiery player, but that week she felt calm. She knew the outcome had already been decided and all she had to do was be there for it and enjoy it. It was a surreal week and a surreal experience. It’s been so cool for her to see the impact of that money, helping rebuild houses in Houston for eight families. [13:53] Stacy tells how the donation was made to the St. Bernard Project to distribute the money in Houston for Hurricane Harvey relief. [14:19] Last year, Stacy worked more on motherhood than on golfing. It has completely changed her world. It forces her to be more focused when she practices, and then get home to be with her daughter. Stay played a tournament in January, and her baby came with her, going to daycare while Stacy played. The LPGA Tour has daycare. [15:14] There were four or five babies born to LPGA golfers last year. One of them also will come to a summer tournament. After success on the golf course, Stacy was ready for the challenge of motherhood. She still feels she can play some pretty great golf, coming back from this, as well. [15:43] Stacy Lewis and Phil Mickelson are the principal faces of golf for KPMG. Stacy wears a blue hat, as for every blue hat KPMG sells, they donate five books to children in need as part of their campaign for literacy. [16:17] Written into each KPMG sponsorship contract are things like wearing the logo, which everyone sees, and service days. Stacy and her instructors spend a full day with about 25 women clients invited by KPMG for instruction, playing nine holes, a scramble for fun, and a time to network. Other sponsors may ask for different services. [17:04] There are five to six days a year that Stacy spends in service to KPMG and their clients for their sponsorship. There are also other meet-and-greets, social media posts, videos, and other things behind the scenes. Every sponsorship Stacy has requires at least a couple of service days, so they add up to quite a bit. [17:28] Stacy’s agent is concerned about her time. She cannot take on any more sponsors and have time to play 25 tournaments in a year. [17:50] Logo placement on shirts and hats determines how much they are seen on TV. The front of the hat is the number one location, then right chest, side of the hat, collar, and sleeve. The golf bag is low on the list. Camera angles are important. [18:29] Stacy’s clothing sponsor is Antigua. To start the year, they send her a big box of shirts and update them if needed in the summer. In the fall, they have a new line of colors and designs, so Stacy gets another big box. Antigua does a tremendous amount of work in women’s golf. Stacy has worn Antigua for eight years. [19:16] Stacy recently added Stephens, Inc. as a sponsor! Stephens has a soft spot for Razorback golfers like David Lingmerth and Stacy Lewis. Stacy was excited when Stephens Inc. reached out to her after she had seen the logo on the guys. [19:41] Over the years, Stacy learned that she represents her sponsors wherever she goes. She chooses sponsors that share her values and make sense for her. [20:19] Stacy has invited some of her sponsors to sponsor LPGA tournaments. She likes to push the envelope and increase the purses. Stacy pushed the idea both with KPMG and Marathon. [21:37] Stacy received a phone call from KPMG, her lead sponsor, that her contract would be paid in full during her maternity leave, without playing the full year. Stacy remembers the phone call which she received sitting in the parking lot of Wilshire Country Club in LA. At first, she thought something was wrong. The call left her in tears. [23:02] Most of Stacy’s other sponsors did the same thing, starting a trend. Stacy hopes the trend continues to support women having babies in the future. Lynne Doughtie, CEO of KPMG is passionate about women in the workplace speaking up for causes. She is amazing as one of the first women CEOs in her industry. [23:42] Stacy’s high profile as number one in the world helped create a major precedent in sponsorships. She says she likes to change things! We can always make things better. She even got the maternity policy on the LPGA Tour changed. She wants girls to see that they can have families and play professional golf. [24:24] The travel for the LPGA is harder than PGA travel, even in the last 10 years, with events in Australia, Asia, and Europe. As Stacy gets older, she won’t play as much internationally, with enough events in the U.S. to play a pretty full schedule. [24:57] Stacy has not played the Evian Championship for two years. She told them she would not return until they made changes. They have made changes to the design of the greens. The big change is putting it in July when it is dryer. Stacy is excited to get back there. She feels like it will be a better championship, this year. [26:40] Stacy takes leadership roles easily. It’s who she is. She’s the experienced voice on the tour. KPMG comes to Stacy after their tournament every year for her suggestions on what to do better next time. The LPGA Tour asks her the same questions. She continues to push the envelope. Some things may be out of reach but may work later. [27:44] What one person does Stacy see as someone she wants to emulate as she moves forward? Stacy looks toward Karrie Webb, who is an unbelievable advocate for women on and off the golf course. She does a lot to support Australian girls coming up in golf. [29:06] Stacy would love another dozen tour wins. She feels like she has a second start to her career after the baby. She asks, who knows what the second half has in store? [29:20] Stacy Lewis is a CEO, professional golfer, and leader. This is capitalism.   Mentioned in This Episode: Stephens.com Stacy Lewis KPMG Marathon Petroleum University of Arkansas Arkansas All-American Golfer Stacy Lewis at University of Arkansas Dinah Shore Trophy Award Excel LPGA PGA Babe Zaharias Mickey Wright Ben Hogan Jimmy Demaret Venus Williams Vic Open European Tour Golf Links Golf Course St. Bernard Project Hurricane Relief LPGA Tour Daycare Phil Mickelson Antigua Clothing David Lingmerth Wilshire Country Club Lynne Doughtie Evian Championship Karrie Webb This Is Capitalism
