With the start of the Walker Cup just hours away, the Back of the Range podcast’s “Road to Hoylake” series wraps up.
John Augenstein and Andy Ogletree played inspired golf at the U.S. Amateur at Pinehurst (N.C.) Resort last month to leave no doubt about their place on the U.S. team. Ben Adelberg, podcast host, caught up with the two to talk about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ogletree, the eventual U.S. Amateur champion, has been building to this point for months. He also won the Monroe Invitational earlier in the summer.

Plug in and listen to what each had to say to Adelberg in the days leading up to the matches.
