David Ruddy: Stuart Grehan’s Amateur Championship Win & Inside The Open | Ep. 11

Irish PGA Professional David Ruddy joins PGA Coach Gary Shaw and Sunshine Tour professional Liam Grehan on The Golf Pro Show to reveal how he helped Stuart Grehan win the 2026 Amateur Championship and prepare for his major championship debut at The Open at Royal Birkdale. David takes us inside the decisive moments of Stuart’s Amateur Championship victory—including the crucial reset when the 36-hole final appeared to be slipping away, what he said and why their relationship allowed him to deliver the right message under pressure. He also shares how they prepared for Stuart’s first major championship, what he learned from observing the world’s best players and coaches at The Open, and how the experience will shape their preparation for the Masters and US Open. The conversation explores how David and Stuart began working together, David’s development as a coach, and how he has learned from Dana Dahlquist, Andy Plummer, Pete Cowen and Alex Buckner while building a coaching approach of his own.
