Ep 3525: McIlroy The Master All Over Again - 13/04/26

About this episode

Rory McIlroy's thrilling performance at the Masters is discussed with insights from sports journalists and commentators.

Why, asked Rory McIlroy these past few days, have one Masters title when you can have two? And why win smoothly when you can terrorise your home country instead?  It was another wild and ultimately joyous weekend for McIlroy at Augusta and we're joined by The 42's Gavin Cooney live from Georgia and The Sunday Times' Michael Foley to take it all in.  Plus there's old green-fingers Paul McGinley, the agony and the ecstasy of ace-shootin' Shane Lowry, and the return of Van the Man.  Hosted on Acast.
