Summary

Andy and Brendan jump on the horn immediately following another full, dramatic, amusing day at the Ryder Cup in Rome. They’re fresh from watching Patrick Cantlay put together a dazzling finish to take the last point of the day, one which included a report that he had become the center of a divisive USA team room. Zach Johnson’s tactics are called into question again, especially his apparent intervention on a tee box with a buddy system duo of Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas that’s scuffled through three of four sessions. There’s praise for USA MVP Max Homa, the lionhearted old head Justin Rose, and many others. There is not praise for Brooks Koepka, who was awful in an record-losing performance in the morning. They close with some thoughts on the possibility of a Sunday comeback and where the captains may look for hope, or signs of trouble.

0:00.0	Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.
0:14.0	And here we go.
0:17.0	All right, all right, all right.
0:21.0	Get the man! Start your Indian!
0:36.0	Greetings and welcome to a Saturday edition of the shotgun start. It is September 30th. Andy, how are we doing?
0:44.0	I'm doing great. You know, it is a quite a day, quite a finish. The last two hours were scintillating after, you know, maybe a little bit dead early on.
0:58.0	It wasn't great. It was just kind of depressing in a way about how bad some of the stuff was, but the last two hours really delivered. We have some coaching controversy.
1:10.0	Catty, catty drama, hat gate, some, you know, lineup issues, right? Health issues, incredible.
1:21.0	No health issues. Health issues yesterday.
1:24.0	No health issues. Everybody's great. Oh, it's nothing. Everybody's fine. Everybody's out there.
1:29.0	Yesterday, we're shaking hands, we're basically swapping spit at this point. Everybody's healthy.
1:34.0	Just benched. He's just benched. I don't know what's better or worse.
1:38.0	But he's fine. He's fine. He's great.
1:43.0	What a day. What an interesting day. It woke up. It was like, wait, wait, wait. Are they really like, are they really five down through five, the Sheffler Brooks Jordan Spees?
1:53.0	I like to have kind of forgotten about the morning to be completely honest. I'm a little delirious. I don't think my brain is really functioning full, full bore because of the lack of sleep the last couple days, but we're here.
2:05.0	We had this incredible game within the game between Jordan, Speed and Bobby McIntyre in the afternoon, based on who could stay in the hole.
2:12.0	Who is Bobby Mac is better or suddenly better than just the guy's speed, just a great, great day. It ends.
2:19.0	Who would you, I hope they get matched up tomorrow on singles. I hope we get the parents. I'm hoping.
2:24.0	I'll fill a buster until again. No, that's like two hours. Where do you put my golf? Where do you put speed?
2:30.0	If you're, if you're, he's got to go at the very back, right? Like, yeah, 12, 12, 10, 10.
2:38.0	Who's your back? Ricky's 12. Ricky's 12.
2:41.0	Right. Who else is back there? I don't know. I mean, you've got to put Homa up front, right?
