The Golf Guy Podcast — Mike Donald, long-time PGA Touring Pro and 1990 US Open Runner-Up

Mike Donald had a long career on the PGA Tour, making nearly 300 cuts and winning the 1989 Anheuser-Busch Classic. Mike is perhaps most famous for his runner-up finish in the 1990 US Open where he lost in a playoff to Hale Irwin after they were tied at the end of 72 holes and remained tied after their subsequent 18 hole playoff, thereby necessitating a sudden death playoff. Mike talks about growing up in South Florida, his challenges keeping his golf scholarship in college, life on the Tour in the 1980’s both before and after the all-exempt tour, how technology has changed the game, and how nearly 35 years later he looks back on his special week at the US Open with added perspective.
