]]> Episode 41 is a special edition to the TalkinGolf History Podcast as it introduces our listeners to one of my favorite sport's history podcasts, "Sports Forgotten Heroes" with its brilliant host Warren Rogan.

This is a must listen episode as Warren and I talk about three of the greatest underdog champions to ever win a major; finishing with some great stories behind Jack Fleck's improbable victory over Ben Hogan in the 1955 US Open.

I promise this will be one of the best podcasts you listen to this year...the Fisherman, the Roofer and the Tin Cup.
