On today’s podcast, It’s Only Sport host Martin Devlin indulges in one of the best New Zealand sport stories of the year – golfer Lydia Ko winning the AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews, her third career major title and first in over eight years. The New Zealander only a fortnight ago won gold at the Paris Olympics, and you would have to think she is the frontrunner for the Halberg Supreme Award in early 2025.
To kick things off though, Devlin delivers a sermon talking about the Warriors’ final NRL home match of 2024 against the Bulldogs, which doubled as a farewell for Jazz Tevaga, Addin Fonua-Blake, and most notably the retiring Shaun Johnson.
Then, Devlin is joined by PGA professional and golf coach Ross MacLeod to talk Ko’s win, NASCAR reporter Nate Ryan discusses Shane van Gisbergen getting a full-time Cup Series drive for 2025, ex-Warriors coach Tony Kemp reviews the NRL weekend, and talkSPORT’s Tom Rennie talks Premier League football.
All that and much more!
