280: Aussie Open Champ Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen Joins The Show! + Hero World Challenge Recap
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back for a packed episode featuring a guest appearance from 2025 Australian Open champion Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen - fresh off his win at Royal Melbourne!
Charlie opens and closes the show with some heartfelt reflections following his father’s passing. The guys then jump into all the action from the Bahamas - Hideki Matsuyama’s outrageous short game and putter collection, grading Scottie Scheffler's first year with a new putting grip, Wyndham Clark’s viral “turf conditions” quote, and a behind-the-scenes look at Smylie's pro-am round in Albany.
Then Rasmus joins the show — jet-lagged, honest, and riding high. He walks Smylie through:
• The intense crowds in Australia
• Playing head-to-head with Cameron Smith
• How firm Royal Melbourne truly played
• The near-impossible chip on 18
• The pressure of closing out a win overseas
• How he processed the moment on a 20+ hour flight home
