| 0:00.0 | Welcome in. This is the Early Wedge, a recap for this week's Rider Cup. |
| 0:16.0 | I'm Rick Damon. That right there is Jason Sobel and Jason an exciting Sunday that lasted much, much longer than I |
| 0:23.2 | anticipated. Rick, good to be with you. And yeah, look, I thought this thing was going to be over |
| 0:28.6 | early. I think a lot of us did. A lot of us were spending in the morning writing our Keegan Bradley |
| 0:33.7 | obituaries and what's wrong with the U.S. team and why we need to start all over from |
| 0:38.0 | scratch. And look, finally, for the first time in 13 years, we got some drama on a Sunday at |

| 1:25.7 | So Harris English and Victor Hobble did not play. |
| 1:28.0 | They each got a half a point. |
| 1:29.7 | So that moves Europe's total to 13, excuse me, 12, meaning they only now needed two more points to retain the rider. |
| 1:39.0 | Look, Rick, the rules are the rules. |
| 1:40.7 | Sometimes the rules are stupid. |
| 1:42.2 | Sometimes we don't like the rules. |
| 1:43.4 | Sometimes we might look at him afterwards and say, maybe we should change this. But look, this goes back to 1927 when |
