Medinah No. 3 & The 2026 Presidents Cup with Mike Cocking

In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy Lack talks with golf architect Mike Cocking of OCM about the Medinah No. 3 redesign and keeping the course member-friendly while testing the best players ahead of the Presidents Cup and possible future majors.Cocking explains the strategic approach of adding width, angles and stronger green complexes after a course that played too tight for members while still yielding low pro scoring, and walks through rerouting the final six holes to cut the repetitive par 3s over water, add a compelling short par 4 and use Lake Kadijah more diagonally. They get into the altered Presidents Cup routing, a bold out of bounds fence inspired by UK golf and old Medinah photos, and why firmness matters most in the setup.BECOME AN INSIDER TODAY: https://www.insidesportsnetwork.com/becomeaninsiderSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://inside-sports-network.beehiiv.com/subscribeSubscribe to 6of6 - DFS Tracker https://6of6.golf/Use Code: ISN for 33% off 6of6FOLLOW INSIDE SPORTS NETWORKTwitter: https://x.com/InsideSportsNetInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/insidesportsnetworkTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@insidesportsnetworkLinkTree: https://linktr.ee/insidesportsnetwork#PresidentsCup #Medinah #GolfCourseArchitecture #PGATour #GolfPodcast #Golf   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
