NCAA Star Cole Hammer Talks About His First British Open, New NIL Rules

In this new episode, college star Cole Hammer shares his love for the Open Championship, an event he used to wake up at 1 a.m. to watch with his dad until sunrise.

Father and son are now over at their first Open Championship this week as Hammer plays in this championship, a topic he's clearly passionate about. Hammer describes his favorite years watching as a kid and dishes on what he's looking forward to about Royal St. George's.

Host Garrett Johnston covers the recent college golf developments, including the groundbreaking NIL news, and Hammer gives his thoughts on the opportunity to make money off his image as a college student.

Hammer also tells some fun stories from his two Walker Cups, including last spring when he and his fellow U.S. teammates sang karaoke and made a video during a rain delay.

Hammer also explains the immense pressure he's felt to turn pro and some reasons why he's decided to finish his fourth year for the Longhorns.
