Australian sporting legend Ian Baker-Finch has lived a life in golf few others will ever get to experience. Not just known for his 1991 Open triumph, post-playing he became a popular commentator and a leading analyst for the world’s biggest sports broadcasters.
He is known as one of the nicest people in golf, but he might also be one of the most thoughtful.
Ian Baker-Finch sat down with John Huggan at Augusta National this week to talk the Masters, his careers on and off the course, his thoughts on the state of the game, as well as the ongoing success of Queensland's superstar players on the world stage.
All of this and plenty more on a special edition of The Thing About Golf Podcast.
