Mark Zecchino, known for his work on Golf Talk Canada, PGA Tour Sirius XM Radio, and PGA Tour Live, recently joined Ryan Ballengee and Brendan Sweeney from the Myrtle Beach World Amateur. During his appearance, Zecchino offered a preview of the upcoming Presidents Cup, noting Geoff Ogilvy’s redesign of Medinah No. 3, the host course.
Zecchino recounted stories from his career, including his call of fellow Canadian Nick Taylor’s putt that secured a win at the RBC Canadian Open, ending a 70-year drought for a Canadian champion. He also shared an anecdote about falling into a water hazard on the 16th hole at the Dye Course at French Lick while filming his series, Off the Hozzle.
The Myrtle Beach World Amateur is a significant event for the Grand Strand, drawing golf enthusiasts to the area’s numerous courses, which contribute to the region’s reputation as the Golf Capital of the World.
