Episode 21: Matt McClean

Matt McClean has been a staple in Irish amateur golf over the last few years. He’s collected a number of impressive finishes in events in Ireland and the UK. In 2022 he had runner-up finishes in the North of Ireland Amateur Open and the Irish Amateur Open. He also reached the final 16 of the British Amateur, too. In his first competition in the United States, McClean broke through and won the US MidAm. He adds his name to a short, but distinguished list of Irishmen who have won a USGA event: Padriag Harrington, Rory McIlroy, and Graeme McDowell are the others. His final match was against fellow Irishman, friend, teammate, and travel companion Hugh Foley. We dive into the week at Erin Hills, McClean’s busy golf schedule, his upcoming 2023 schedule which includes two majors, and his rise through the amateur ranks and competing for team Ireland the last few years.Amateur Golf Links:AmateurGolf.comSubscribeInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTubeAmateur Golf Links:AmateurGolf.comSubscribeInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTube
