Summary

After an unexpected dramatic Sunday at Bethpage, Andy and Brendan are back to debrief from Europe’s win on away soil at the 2025 Ryder Cup. What does Europe do and have that the USA continues to botch? They discuss the American side’s valiant effort to make it close in Sunday singles, but turn to Europe’s brilliance and the autopsy of yet another USA failure. They ponder the envelope rule and how that had the USA side miffed and how the worst-case scenario of a tie was narrowly avoided. They grade each and every player, including the captains, and it’s not a kind review of Keegan’s week. The fans are also graded, and they go through one more day of shouts and heckles and react to Rory’s comments on it from the weekend. Course setup is also discussed, revolving around Keegan’s admission that he “made a mistake.” PJ and KVV join with some amusements from the ground as well after another incredible day covering one of the best events in golf.
