Show notes

Sunday at Bethpage could have easily turned into one of the biggest blowouts in Ryder Cup history, but a furious American singles rally turned it into one of the competition's most thrilling conclusions before Shane Lowry clinched victory for the Europeans with a birdie at the 18th. Fresh off the NBC broadcast, Smylie Kaufman joins Charlie Hulme to break it all down while Luke Donald's team hoisted the cup they promised they'd retain after winning at home in Rome. Smylie and Charlie discuss the brilliance of the Euros on Friday and Saturday, the fight the Americans showed to claw back Sunday, and what to make of fan behavior at Bethpage Black.
