With the start of the Walker Cup just hours away, the Back of the Range podcast’s “Road to Hoylake” series wraps up.

The start of the Walker Cup is now just hours away, but the Back of the Range podcast’s “Road to Hoylake” series wouldn’t be complete without getting a look inside the heads of the final two members of the team.

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.

As for Augenstein, he struggled in the weeks leading up to the U.S. Amateur, but made no bones about where his priorities stood: It was about earning his spot on this team, and then trying to win the U.S. Amateur.

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