Summary

A bonus Friday pod from Wentworth. With Eddie battling away on the course, Andrew and Iain bring all Åberg name-chat to a happy conclusion, while hearing in-depth from Bob MacIntyre and less in-depth from Rory McIlroy. They also remember all the shenanigans of The Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island in 1991. AKA The Wår on the Shöre.

He was toiling. We were actually thinking of doing this after he'd played, but in all honesty, we've looked at his score and we don't think he'll be in the right frame of mind, shall we say.

He's a bit of a thinker. He's a bit of a thinker, he likes to chat. I think if we really pushed him today and said, Come on, Eddie. Come on. He would do it, but I don't want to.
