That was Shane Lowry rolling in a birdie put on 18 to knock off Russell Henley and to retain the cup.

They ended up getting another full point

and beating the Americans over the weekend at Beth Page Black 15 to 13.

But, man, it was a route over the first two days

before the drama of day three.

I know it coincides with football season,

and that makes it rough for a lot of you that like this event.

I watched a lot of it over the weekend.

Steve Sands was, of course, a part of the coverage.

He joins us right now.

Steve would rather talk about the Atlanta loss on Sunday, but I haven't talked about

Ryder Cup, and I just want to start with this simple question.

Why are they better than us at this event?

That's a great question.

First of all, two things, Kevin.

The iPad may or may not have had the Sunday ticket on and watched the Falcons

Skins game while we were in the booth on Sunday. Yeah, I know. You do that all the time. Just don't tell the boss. I think the boss kind of knows, though. Did you let out... Those monitors in the trucks, they definitely have football on somewhere. Yeah, I'm sure they do. You've told me this before that you guys that, you know, are on the PGA tour, especially in these fall events,

these big events when football's going on, you're basically, or like during the NCAA

during March Madness, you know, you're watching, you know, a lot of those games.

I mean, have you ever, like, in the midst of calling something just blurted out,

oh my God, Chris Rodriguez, just keep going, go.

No, thank goodness.
