Summary

We have a South African edition of The First Cut with today’s special guest Erik van Rooyen.

Just when van Rooyen was building momentum into the Players and heart of the PGA Tour season the world ran into the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us as Erik dives into his inspiration to take up the game and his upbringing in South Africa (3:30).
