Our college golf tour continues as Smylie Kaufman is joined by Auburn senior Josiah Gilbert!
Josiah grew up in an Outback mining town where the only golf course used red dirt for fairways, and didn't take golf seriously until he was 12. Three months after his family moved to Alabama, he was committed to Auburn. Josiah tells Smylie how one casual round with the team changed everything.
Plus: junior golf alongside Aldrich Potgieter, living with Brendan Valdes through his cancer fight, and why he switched his flag from Australia to the USA. Josiah also leaves a question for Coach Nick Clinard, who joins the show Wednesday.
