Richie Ramsay Geeks Out About Golf Architecture


Garrett sits down with Richie Ramsay (@RamsayGolf)—2006 U.S. Amateur champion, four-time winner on the DP World Tour, and golf-architecture aficionado—to discuss a variety of topics. They start with a debrief of Richie’s recent trip to Minnesota, where he saw courses like Interlachen, White Bear Yacht Club, Edina, and of course Hazeltine, the site of his U.S. Amateur triumph and subject of an upcoming “reimagining” by Davis Love III’s firm. They then discuss Richie’s recent play, including his win last year at Hillside Golf Club and his appearance at the 2022 Open, and his thoughts on the direction of the DP World Tour in the context of professional golf’s current upheaval. Garrett and Richie wrap up with a little preview of this week’s U.S. Women’s Open venue Walton Heath.
