Hello and welcome back to another Class Chat. In this episode Will catches up with Irish Professional Golfer Paul McBride. From Malahide, Paul grew up playing many sports and had success in schools not only in golf but also in hurling where he won Dublin titles. Deciding to go down the route of golf, Paul played his junior golf in the Island where he learned his links skills. Onward to Wake Forest University in the US, Paul played and roomed with familiar names like Cam Young and Will Zalatoris. He had great success with the Wake Forest team winning a number of times. In 2016 and 2017 Paul played a number of the main European Amateur events trying to maximise his World Golf points in the hope and later success of getting on the Walker Cup team to play in 2017. in 2016 he unfortunately got beaten in the British Amateur semi final by a certain Robert McIntyre. On the Walker Cup, GB&I lost that particular year but Paul managed to bag himself a foursomes point beating his college team mate Zalatoris. Onward to the Pro life and Paul has had some nice top 10s in the years to date including a promising start to 2026 with a podium finish and a top 10 already in the bag. Ill be keeping my fingers crossed that he sees further success and gets himself on the Hotel Planner tour for next season. This was a very enjoyable chat with a super guy. Worth a listen.
