Recently, as Finch got a chance to play at the Egyptian Open, he shared his views regarding the same. His words were:

“I am also going into this being the best putter in the world. That's kind of like a different frame of mind...Tour golf and tournament golf is just so much different than what you do on YouTube so not so much of technique shift...it's more getting back into a mindset of this isn't a YouTube round of golf even if we are filming it...Starting to trust that process...the process has been on the shelf for a bit...My golf this year is probably better than it ever has been. Translating that into a Tour event is going to be tough.”

Before his pro debut last month, the golf coach shared his insights about the 2025 Ryder Cup on his online platform.


Peter Finch backs European Ryder Cup golfer Rory McIlroy amid fan heckling at the Bethpage Black

Peter Finch backed Rory McIlroy’s reaction to fan heckling at the Ryder Cup. This year, the Ryder Cup was held on U.S. soil. As a result, US fans made several derogatory comments about the European golfers during the tournament. McIlroy was subjected to such behaviour, which finally resulted in an outburst from the Northern Irishman during the Saturday foursomes.

Recently, Peter Finch backed McIlroy's reaction and wrote on X:

“Just imagine what was shouted at Rory (and others I heard) to make a professional golfer react like this. The atmosphere here has been strange. Passionate at times, it is often prickly, hostile, and personal. As always, it’s NOT the majority, and hopefully, some respect can return today, although I’m not hopeful. I’m biased, but most of the European fans have been amazing. They sing loudly at our players, which is the key, and seem mostly to know where the line is.”

The Ryder Cup was won by the European side against the Americans with a total score of 15-13. This was the European side's second triumph in a row after the 2023 victory.
