Andy and Brendan are live from their B. Draddy Den after a weekend watching the Ryder Cup and bombing around the New York area. The USA made it interesting on Sunday, but in the end, it was a highly questionable concession by Rickie Fowler that put a European team that started the day with a big lead over the top to take back the cup. They dissect the full day of singles matches in the aftermath of the continued fallout with Rory McIlroy trying to storm the USA locker room to confront Joe LaCava. That ongoing drama, as well as Cantlay hat-gate, is discussed in addition to the actual golf in the form of some MVPs and LVPs for each side. They attempt an autopsy at what went wrong on the losing side, with several people and circumstances playing into the failure. They do the same for the winning side and praise the work of Luke Donald in contrast to Zach Johnson.

Home Captains = Awesome
Away Captains = Terrible
I agree Zach stunk, especially with his picks and in his interviews , but it is a higher bar to clear as an away captain… Europe wins with Henrik or any other captain
Reed Bryson DJ probably put the USA over the top…
"Bad Bob" scored more points than everyone in the US team except Max Homa. He made as many birdies as JT or Speith in that match. He was nervous day 1 and bailed out by Rose but came good.
Americans skipped the Italian open. Majority of the team did not play any golf last few weeks. Notable 2 of the 3 exceptions to this were Homa & JT, 2 of the best performing players on the US side. Added to this only 9 of 12 players attend a fully paid for scouting trip to Italy. US were not treating this thing seriously. Can't help but think that Cantlay's we should be getting paid sentiment is shared by multiple team members, they are just professional enough not to say it.
Europe simply want it more. In Europe we dream of lifting the Ryder Cup over donning the Green Jacket ,and treat it like a major championship. You can short term manufacture this desire (US last Ryder Cup, Dream Team BB) But this only lasts 1 tournament. Ryder Cup after Ryder cup US reaction is always about players picked, partnerships and not the obvious things staring everyone in the face. Not sure of the answer but can't help but feel you're asking the wrong questions
Great live show guys 👏
Big shot Bob was not good. Most overrated point total in a while
Rory should have been 5-0 if Cantlay did not ball up.
No one on the European team has ever spoken about or even considered being paid to play in the Ryder cup. Only ever comes from people on the US team. And therein lies the difference. Different priorities
Patrick Cantlay is tone deaf, but not required to putt like a deamon
Bad Bob needs to be renamed Sideshow Bob, as we hardly saw him.
2'8", 32" is not inside the leather, but Tommy was glad to take it. He picked it up quicker than Bill Belichek ends his Monday morning Pats call in.
US needs to go back to top ten on the team and 2 captain's picks.
