On the latest episode of The Slam, in association with Callaway, Matt Coles also reveals which players he would take to Marco Simone at the end of September with some surprise inclusions you mightn’t have expected.
Before that though, the team talked all things AIG and Lilia Vu’s stunning win at the Women’s Open at Walton Heath – and a valiant effort from the home favourite Charley Hull.
The team looks to the ever-approaching Solheim Cup too and discusses who could be selected to play at Finca Cortesin next month, a week before the Ryder Cup starts!
