Great content as always Hannah
This was surprisingly great (my expectation with these pro chats is always that it'll be predicable and bland). Great questions, JR was very relaxed. Well done.
Love this! What a fun interview 😂
I had so much fun filming this video! How would you have got on if you had taken the Team Europe test?!?
It can be really nerve-wracking meeting a world-famous golfing legend. I hope Justin coped ok with it.
He did well.
Great video and lots of fun. Thanks
That was fun!
I am glad you are moving up on vid content and getting closer to the real Pro golfers like Rose, Hannah. Being a golfer influencer pays off a little better nowadays.
I really struggled with that quiz, mind you I'm not a big fan of the Ryder Cup.
Have to say though that I hold Justin Rose in the highest regard – great player.
Cheers
James sent me here 🎉
Honestly looking at the teams, the team chemistry, etc. The Americans are serious underdogs. Rose for captain in the future!
McIlroy got 4 points in 2023
Hovland hasnt lost a singles match either. Drew in 2021 and won in 2023 so I am sure there are more players who havent lost in the singles, which was the question.
