1:01

Hello

1:08

everyone and welcome to Beef's Golf Club.

1:10

It's Rider Cut Week and we're in Rome. It's

1:13

the most epic event in golf and

1:15

we're here to keep you up to date on everything

1:17

happening behind the scenes and on

1:20

the golf course. I'm so excited

1:22

to be here and we'll be bringing you daily

1:24

episodes over the course of this weekend.

1:27

So sit back and enjoy. This

1:29

is Beef's Golf Club at the Rider Cup. Hello

1:33

everyone and welcome

1:34

to Beef's Golf Club at the Rider Cup. Europe

1:37

have just won the Rider Cup. Tommy

1:39

Fleetwood wrapped it up with a 3-1 victory on 17 and

1:42

Shane Lowry brung it home on 18 where we're

1:44

currently standing and it is chaos.

1:47

This is absolute chaos, Beef, isn't it? We are

1:49

amongst how many thousands of people

1:51

on the 18th I don't know the

1:53

green or brown here has never seen this many

1:56

people. I'm just waiting for him to jump

1:58

in the lake.

1:59

they're gonna do that any second, surely. How

2:02

amazing has this day been? Just

2:05

absolutely incredible. I thought Team

2:07

USA really fought back really well

2:09

and made Europe work for it and they didn't

2:11

sort of lay down. And Europe

2:14

got there in the end. They got there in the end

2:16

and they bring the Ryder Cup back to Europe. I

2:19

mean, we got ourselves on the 18th green because we thought

2:22

that Sepp Stacker was gonna win it on here. But

2:24

then Tommy Blyttel ran and holed it on the 16th.

2:27

Yeah, he drove the green, he was one off on 16 and

2:30

that's what the 16th was built for. You

2:32

know, he took it on, took the pressure, drove

2:34

the green and Ricky Fowler conceded after hitting

2:37

it in the water. And that's how the Ryder Cup was

2:39

won.

2:41

Oh, beef. We've made our way to the Champagne

2:43

Spray. Well, luckily we've known one of the

2:45

security guards who have got

2:47

us in and stuck in. It

2:49

was very claustrophobic in there, mate. How massive

2:52

is this wind, Dave? Massive, massive.

2:54

We knew it was gonna be a really tight one. Two years

2:56

ago, I think 90% of people gave

2:59

Europe no chance of winning it. So if they come

3:01

back and turn it around in two years, it's absolutely

3:04

mind-blowing.

3:06

I mean, we'll go through the games later, beef, but

3:09

who stood out in those singles for you?

3:11

I mean, when you go out with John Rahm

3:13

at the top and even to get a point against Scottie Scheffler

3:17

down 18 and he won the whole Rory

3:20

winning, Hovland winning, I mean,

3:23

they're the games as we spoke about last night. Putting

3:25

them out at the top, going to go and

3:27

get their point, make it easier. But I think the

3:30

points coming back as well. Fleetwood,

3:32

Lowry, McIntyre in there, Hatton

3:34

delivered as well. But such a performance

3:37

from every single player on that team this

3:39

week.

3:39

I mean, big, the music started, literally.

3:42

How are we gonna get back? To the media

3:44

center. The music started, the party started.

3:48

I don't think we've got much chance, mate. We're gonna be

3:50

on here a while. Have you ever been to, like,

3:52

anywhere with an atmosphere like this before? Never

3:54

in my life, you know. You always hear

3:56

about the Ryder Cup. I've seen it on telly many

3:59

a times.

3:59

because every player has told me it's totally

4:02

different when you're actually there, the first ones to experience

4:04

and they're right. I mean, it's an event

4:06

that now I want to come back and go to every

4:08

single one now. What would the feeling be

4:11

like if you were part of the team Europe now, mate? I

4:13

would love to be, you know, it's such great motivation.

4:16

I can't wait to get back to the range to be honest

4:18

and start proving and try and get in the next one in America.

4:21

You know, that was the plan a couple years ago and I'm going to have

4:23

another crack at this time.

4:25

Babe, can you just give everyone at home a sense of like

4:27

how it was in those last few holes because we basically

4:30

didn't know where to look, did we? There was just action happening

4:33

absolutely everywhere. It was so tense.

4:35

I know Europe put

4:38

a few points up early, you

4:40

know, but looking at the leaderboard, America

4:42

really dominated the middle section and

4:45

for a moment there, I was sort of not

4:48

panicking, but I was sort of wondering then when

4:50

one started to wonder,

4:51

can they actually turn this around? You

4:54

know, Fleetwood has only won up. McIntyre went back

4:56

all square tied. Lowry was

4:58

tied and for one sort of

5:00

moment, I did think what if? Luckily,

5:03

Tommy's hit that absolute

5:04

incredible shot on 16

5:07

and wrapped it up. I mean, we were down here,

5:09

weren't we, when Matt Fitzpatrick

5:11

missed our part against Homer. We thought he was going

5:13

to be one then, didn't we, early on and then on the board, there was just so

5:15

much red and it

5:18

really surprised us, didn't it? As you

5:20

know, in these events, there's 24 absolute

5:22

world class players and even going into singles, the

5:25

American team knows that you've got

5:27

to make Europe win the games. They still had to win

5:29

four points and that's still not easy.

5:31

You know, it's so hard to win a golf tournament, let alone

5:33

bringing four points against these classy

5:35

players and fair play to them and they've sprung

5:37

it home and you can hear

5:40

how happy they've made everyone. Got

5:42

a love for Tommy over there, baby. Oh, of course, man. He

5:44

isn't going to get anything else

5:47

but love, you know. Rightly

5:49

so. Rightly so. I

5:52

mean, there's so many people, they're all round

5:54

him jumping up and down singing Tommy

5:57

song and I can't even see him, mate. I can't

5:59

even see him. Is it Shelby? Big

6:20

stumbling across. We're trying to

6:22

get out of here. We stumbled across my Suzanski's

6:24

tenth, families Nigel's brother. How are you guys

6:26

feeling? Relieved. It was

6:28

looking great at the start and then it looked a bit

6:31

hippy in the middle but the boys came through. Yeah

6:33

they really did man, they really did. I mean

6:36

the pride of passion the team showed is absolutely

6:38

incredible. And I bet you're thinking

6:41

the same as me man, you want to be playing this right

6:43

in the next one. Yeah absolutely. You

6:45

know two years in New York it would be nice to be part of that

6:47

team. You know seeing these

6:50

guys do it today just no vision to be there and

6:52

yeah hopefully I'll be there. How proud

6:54

are you? Yeah we are proud.

6:58

I wouldn't say struggle the first two but you know

7:01

no points after two rider cuts. Six

7:03

a bit difficult with him but then got

7:05

his first point with Rory and yeah I'm sure he's been

7:07

matching really and we won. He

7:09

didn't just get that first point, he comes straight out

7:11

of the gate and he just grabbed it and

7:14

took it and put it in a big stranglehold. I mean he

7:16

was so impressive man, he was so impressive this

7:18

weekend. Absolutely delighted for him as

7:20

well. Yeah we are, we're really proud of him. He's

7:22

a great lad. We would say that but he is. You

7:25

have to say that. Are

7:28

you going to gate crash the party? Absolutely.

7:33

Enjoy big love. We're

7:39

currently outside where the players are all

7:42

having a little party. The keddies are on the roof. There's

7:44

about 15 bottles of champagne

7:47

up there. You've got everyone who's part

7:49

of the European tour all

7:51

celebrating, having a laugh, having a

7:53

sing with the players. Epic, epic

7:55

scenes. Well,

7:58

as this will sing it in charge. There's a happy

8:01

birthday going off. No idea. I

8:03

found Noah Horan here sitting on one of the

8:05

buggies chilling out and he's from your beer How

8:14

epic has this right a cup been it's been amazing I

8:16

could nearly too close for my liking but I'm it

8:18

8:20

off to You can just see the unity

8:22

within the team is just amazing. They're all great

8:24

lads unbelievable golfers And it was

8:27

just so it was nice to get to win especially on Did

8:30

you have any doubt during the middle of today? Where

8:32

you middle order got very red on that leaderboard

8:35

did it cross your mind that there could be

8:37

one of the all-time? Come back. Yeah, I

8:39

mean it would have been some comeback if it happened I know

8:42

of course I think when when Tommy involved

8:44

games went back to one up It was like oh, where's

8:46

where's the half gonna come from and then once Terrell

8:49

made? Once Terrell got to 14

8:51

that felt like right someone's gonna get a half

8:53

at some point here You know for

8:56

the best but um now listen it they

8:58

were just so concrete all week and put

9:00

in a Put on a proper show for everyone. It

9:02

has been an absolute epic show mate and

9:05

9:11

proud and I thought he's been Absolutely

9:15

awesome. Yeah, I know he's been brilliant to get three

9:17

and a half out of four points is Some

9:19

feet especially, you know against this American

9:24

9:48

on this top deck where I mentioned the 15 bottles Around 15

9:51

bottles of champagne. They don't look

9:53

like normal bottles of champagne. They look at least

9:55

the Magnum going off I'm

9:59

not sure if these are gonna be Trunk or Sprayed at the moment

10:02

everyone's standing around waiting and

10:08

10:10

Ryder Cup I think these are going to be Sprayed

10:23

running under it he's

10:25

drinking it he's in his eyes

10:31

oh

10:49

Billy

10:52

Fuzz, Billy Fuzz giving it a good old spray

10:54

10:57

10:59

11:12

11:30

pretty coming with the best spray

11:31

oh

11:44

I'm

11:57

sure we can all hear Tampiode ringing out

11:59

now

11:59

It's going to be a long

12:02

long night.

12:06

As the party and the

12:08

spraying of champagne has gone off, that was absolutely

12:11

epic. I've seen Bob over here

12:13

and he went to give me a handshake. I said I'm not handshaking

12:16

you, I'll give you a hug and I totally forgot he was caked

12:18

in champagne and he stinks but it's

12:20

absolutely fine. Mate, talk to me about

12:22

your week.

12:23

It's been incredible. I've dreamed

12:25

of as a kid this. I

12:28

just can't believe it actually happened. You

12:31

dream of it but you never believe it. I

12:35

managed to get here and

12:37

the main goal was to win a Ryder Cup. You could see from

12:40

the buzz the team had

12:42

as well, the team spirit just looked

12:44

amazing from the outside. Yeah,

12:46

it's been brilliant. The minute we

12:49

got here on the training day that Monday

12:51

before it went was for the four rookies.

12:55

I was one of them. We came in here

12:57

a bit skeptical of what

12:59

was going to happen but we

13:02

got brought in with open arms. I obviously

13:04

had Rosie to the old man to

13:07

look after me. I mean what a guy to look after

13:09

me. The whole thing was incredible.

13:12

Mate, as I said, watching from here,

13:14

I'm so pleased that it's gone so well for you

13:16

as well. You're going to have a superb

13:19

headache tomorrow, aren't you? I know I may have been a jet

13:22

to fly home at 12 o'clock tomorrow but I think

13:24

I might be changing now. You

13:26

managed to find him on the phone just sorting it

13:29

out. No, no, no. I said, you didn't think

13:31

we were going to play now? Enjoy mate, so pleased.

13:34

Well done man. Thank you. I

13:41

bumped into the one and only Dragons

13:43

Den, Peter Jones. Wow, that

13:46

was quite scary actually, wasn't it? It was exciting

13:48

but it was amazing. There was like a thousand

13:50

people rushing and closing the line. It

13:52

was amazing when Lowry was on that green. You

13:55

know when Lowry went on to the first year,

13:58

on to the 18th tee and you knew when it was was going

14:00

to walk down. He just knows the right person

14:02

to bring the chaos and the cheers and

14:04

the noise. You knew it was coming from Shane, didn't

14:06

you? You just thought, right. We thought, do we stay by 17 and

14:09

just watch what's happening? No, we've got to follow

14:11

Shane. Did you have any

14:14

doubts, any no's during midway through that

14:16

period where America really sort of started

14:18

to dominate that middle period? Yes, it's a

14:20

will, my son. We're sitting there and then we saw, look

14:22

up and back on the screens, we're thinking,

14:24

hang on a minute, if this match will with

14:27

Tyrrell and Tyrrell was playing it, awesome.

14:29

But we thought, actually, look at the red.

14:32

After Tyrrell, there were four reds and you

14:34

think, oh my goodness, this could go down the last. How

14:37

on earth does that happen?

14:38

I know, I mean, I know Tommy managed

14:41

to come out on top. Were you on 16 when he hit the

14:44

tee shot on the green? Yeah. Yeah. Why is that? Talk

14:47

to me about the noise of that. Oh my God, I couldn't

14:50

believe it. I mean, I'm deaf

14:52

of hearing. My hearing is really bad, but it

14:54

literally opened all my ear. I mean, it was crazy.

14:56

I've never experienced anything like it. I was at Glenn Eagles

14:59

in 2014 with Will and

15:02

this is just amazing. It was

15:04

just amazing. And to bring it home,

15:07

Europe, I mean, there's only one thing

15:10

that was slightly disappointed about the whole thing. And

15:12

I've got to tell you, cause you do know that I do

15:14

love you to death. You

15:16

have to be in this team in four years

15:19

at Adair and I, I wait and

15:21

pray for that moment. I really do. I really

15:23

appreciate it, mate. I'm hoping I'm looking

15:25

at the one in two years and I just want

15:27

to get to New Jersey and get booed for

15:29

a week. I think I'll quite enjoy that. Oh,

15:32

it's just amazing that you're back. Cheers.

15:35

I really appreciate it, mate. And have a great evening and

15:37

hopefully gate crash the party or something.

15:39

I'm sure you will. Yeah. I'm there actually. Actually,

15:44

maybe. Did you get as simple as a few tickets, mate?

15:46

Yeah. Yeah. We'll sort that out. No problem.

15:56

Wait, are you gaming on a

15:58

Chromebook? Yeah.

15:59

It's got a high-res 120Hz

16:02

display, plus this killer RGB keyboard,

16:07

anywhere. Stop playing! What?

16:10

Get out of here! Huh?

16:11

Yeah, I want you to stop playing and get out of here

16:13

so I can game on that Chromebook. Got

16:17

17:27

Right, guys, we

17:29

finally made it back to the media center.

17:32

Europe have lifted the trophy, winning

17:34

by 16 and a half to 11 and a half. I'm

17:38

here with producer Ryan again. I

17:40

think we should take a little look at all the action on today.

17:42

Mate, you know we were speculating about

17:45

was there a player in the water? Have you seen the video

17:48

of the older gentlemen sprinting and jumping

17:50

in the water? It's a thing of beauty.

17:52

Do you know what? You know they have a certain

17:55

music where they slow it down. Like

17:57

really, like put him in a slow-mo. It's like.

18:00

Is it the Olympic thing? Yeah. Or is it

18:02

something from Cool Runnings? Charis of

18:04

Fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd love to slow it down

18:06

and make a little video out of that.

18:08

I mean, it was a thing of beauty. If it was a diving

18:10

contest, it's a 10. Yeah. I

18:13

mean, it didn't quite steal the show of what an epic

18:16

day of golf it was. Should

18:18

we go through the matches one by one? Definitely, mate.

18:21

And let's go in the order. The points rolled in. So

18:23

obviously, first point on the board was

18:26

Victor Hovland first calling Maricawa. Hovland

18:29

won four and three to make it 11 and 1,5, 5 and 1,5 to

18:32

Europe. I mean, Hovland's had a good weekend, hasn't he, Gav?

18:35

Amazing. He's been one of the best

18:37

for Europe. I mean, what a performance he's put

18:39

in to get up nice and early in the

18:41

game to put the blue on the leaderboard.

18:44

I think that's what Luke Donnell was setting out by

18:46

the way he put the order out

18:48

for the singles with Ram, Hovland,

18:51

McElroy in the top four games.

18:54

So he definitely wanted to sort of get the points

18:56

up early, get blue on the board early, and

18:59

try and keep America quiet. And that's

19:01

exactly what Hovland went out and did. And

19:04

it's never easy playing someone like Maricawa,

19:07

one of the best iron players. But

19:09

once you go three up after six holes, it's

19:13

tough to kind of come back from that for Maricawa.

19:15

It's a long way to come back. And he

19:17

shut him out really nicely in that game. Absolutely.

19:20

I mean, I don't want to say it was never in doubt, but in the form that

19:22

Hovland's been this weekend, you know, he just

19:25

delivered, didn't he? Is he going to be

19:27

a Ryder Cup name for many, many years?

19:29

But, you know, he's still really young, isn't he? Oh,

19:32

without doubt, without doubt. He's

19:34

such a fantastic ball striker. Solid

19:37

putter as well. I know they had doubts about

19:40

his chipping in the past. He's really worked hard on

19:42

it and completely turned that round. So it's

19:44

made him literally the complete player.

19:47

He's so solid in every department. He's

19:49

so tough to play against in match play. And

19:52

just when you thought he had a sniff in this game on

19:54

the seventh hole, they both hit great

19:57

shots in. I mean, Hovland was about 12 foot away.

19:59

Mora Kyle. I hit it to three

20:01

foot and he knocked the putt in

20:03

and kept Morikawa quiet again and

20:06

that's what he does man. He's just really

20:09

hard to play against. Absolutely.

20:11

Obviously the first pair out today were John

20:13

Ramm and Scotty Scheffler. You said you thought

20:16

that they'd send Ramm out first and go strong, didn't

20:18

you? That was a tie. You

20:21

know, but how big was that for Europe? Huge,

20:25

I mean absolutely huge. It

20:27

was like again, just

20:30

two of the best players in the world. Just

20:33

going toe to toe at it and I

20:36

give credit with credit, Stuart. I mean Scheffler

20:38

hasn't looked comfortable on the greens all week and

20:42

you imagine sort of trying to change

20:45

a few things technically in your putting and coming

20:47

into the Ryder Cup a bit uncomfortable

20:49

and having to deal with the away crowds for

20:52

him and he missed a couple putts early

20:54

on in that game and looked really edgy and it

20:56

looked like Ramm was just gonna run away with

20:58

that game and win four and three

21:00

or by five holes or something like that and

21:02

the way he just kept going clawed

21:04

it back and ended up going

21:07

up in the match right at the end with two amazing

21:10

birdies I mean on 14 and 15 and

21:12

turn around and sort of turn around

21:14

and fronted the crowd I mean absolutely

21:16

fair play to him but again, you're

21:19

up against someone on the other side in John Ramm

21:21

and I mean

21:22

that half a point

21:24

is so so key honestly

21:27

It made it made such a difference when you looked

21:29

at the leaderboard looked at the points at

21:31

that time America really dominated

21:33

in the middle section and I just had that

21:35

real urgency It had

21:38

that real feeling that he needed to

21:40

he really needed to win that hole win the

21:42

last hole and get half a point That

21:44

was massive. Well, that obviously made

21:47

the score 12 and 6 to Europe and

21:49

at that point Obviously, he's needed 14 and a half to

21:51

win Before we move on I mean

21:54

I was listening to your commentary and last

21:56

thing on John Ramm But he had an absolute belt

21:58

of a shot than he from near that bridge the

22:00

bridge shot I mean a big shot I

22:04

it's hard to explain how good that

22:07

is it really is gone try I

22:09

was looking at their shot and all

22:11

I could see was the bridge lovely

22:14

bitch honestly all I could see was that ball ricocheting

22:16

off that bridge and going anywhere maybe back

22:19

into myself this rough is thick and

22:21

I know he was in a bit of a dryer area

22:24

in that rough but he's got the ball above

22:26

his feet it's difficult to get the

22:28

ball up quickly yeah he's got a drawer

22:30

it the green is so hard to hit

22:32

even from the fairway from that distance how

22:35

many times have we seen this week balls

22:37

come up short and roll back down the slope or just

22:39

trickle over and he hits that shot

22:41

inside Scottie Scheffler I

22:43

mean it's one of the most ridiculous shots some

22:46

of his chippings are incredible

22:48

but for me that was one that

22:50

was one of shots this week at a ride a cup I mean

22:52

it's an absolute disgrace he's on the green

22:54

if you're playing against him you're

22:57

on the green in two and you're thinking he's down by

22:59

the bridge and next thing he's

23:02

playing for birdie inside your ball

23:04

you've got no right this you have no right to do

23:06

that it's absolutely disgusting well

23:09

absolutely disgusting not on John run but

23:12

what a bridge shot we'll never forget the bridge up okay

23:14

well I mean the next point then went on the board

23:17

beef was Justin Rose vs Patrick

23:19

can't lay god we said we've spoken for a lot

23:21

about Patrick can lay hammer over the weekend but

23:23

he won two and one to Cloribac a point

23:25

of the US it made it 12 and 7 I mean what

23:28

a match that was I mean we spoke about

23:30

him last night I mean finishing with three birdies

23:33

to win that match for

23:36

America in the most one-sided

23:38

crowd rowdy crowd they've

23:41

been out there all day few people obviously

23:43

had quite a lot to drink it was rowdy

23:45

and the way you went birdie birdie

23:48

birdie finish was so

23:50

impressive and then to come out again and just

23:53

dominate that game from start

23:55

to finish he's

23:58

some he's some player and some

23:59

performer and I

24:02

mean

24:04

it really is impressive to do

24:07

that. Again the crowd's on his back, we

24:10

were hanging around a few holes and

24:12

every time everyone's waving their hats at him and

24:14

chanting and sort of trying to get under

24:16

his skin it's so easy

24:18

to crumble in that situation and he stood

24:20

up again today and fair, fair play to him. Absolutely.

24:25

Next on the board then obviously was

24:27

Rory McElroy versus Sam Burns. McElroy

24:30

won his fourth point of the weekend I believe, 3-1

24:33

to make it 13-7. We were actually sat on

24:36

the 16th green weren't we

24:38

in the ropes when McElroy was

24:40

on and we thought he was going to hold that putt. Do you remember he

24:43

missed it ever so slightly and we thought he was going to be there and then wrapped

24:45

up but I mean Rory's had a great weekend hasn't

24:48

he? Oh fantastic week.

24:51

As he said at the start of

24:53

the week he's the second oldest player

24:56

in this team and he's not even that old. He's

24:58

been there five, six

25:00

times, five, six Ryder Cups, he's got the

25:02

experience and he was the one, he was

25:04

kind of like the leader, the one to put arm rounds,

25:07

the younger ones as well. Big responsibility

25:10

on his shoulders and there's always a big

25:12

responsibility for him to go out and perform

25:14

because we all know how good he is

25:17

but again you're playing Sam Burns one of

25:19

the best in the world and

25:21

he was just, he was superb.

25:23

Whole putts at the right time, hit shots at the

25:25

right time, just Rory being Rory.

25:28

There's a few shots he hit today where

25:32

only he can hit. A couple of iron shots

25:34

he hit today were just phenomenal and it's

25:37

when you get up in a match play game it's keeping

25:40

the pressure on and doing the right things at

25:42

the right times and he did that. He's

25:44

been phenomenal this Ryder Cup and he'll be absolutely

25:47

delighted the way he's played

25:49

and come out with four points out of five.

25:51

I mean what a performance. Do you think,

25:54

we obviously spoke about Rory last night and that car

25:56

park video came out and it was all very confused

25:58

and we weren't sure what was going on at the time. Do you think

26:00

that sort of fired him up a bit going into

26:02

the Sunday? Or was it like a longer narrative

26:04

because obviously whistling straight was not very

26:07

good for him at all? It's

26:10

a really interesting

26:12

one, right? There's so much emotion in the Ryder Cup.

26:16

And it's very easy to get caught up and have

26:18

too much emotion when you're playing

26:20

and get too fired up and try too

26:22

hard. And I think there's a real fine

26:25

balance of being pumped up in the

26:27

right way and not looking for sort of revenge

26:29

almost and sort of looking

26:32

at it in a, oh, I'm going

26:34

to be like, Hamrie, I've got to beat him. You've got to play

26:36

your game still and stick to your game plans

26:38

and make sure you do the basics

26:41

well. And I think that's key. It's really, it's

26:43

a really, it's a really fine line

26:46

between sort of pushing it too far

26:48

in terms of motivation or just sort

26:50

of laying back and being calm and make sure you're

26:52

concentrating on just winning that game.

26:55

And clearly he got it right. He

26:57

would definitely use it as motivation and probably motivated

26:59

the others as well not to go out and

27:02

lose. It probably motivated the American team

27:04

as well to come and fight back as well. So

27:06

yeah, I think it was in a strange way. You

27:09

don't want to see that kind of situation, but

27:12

it really added that little bit of, that

27:14

little bit of spice to the singles today.

27:16

We do love a bit of spice. But speaking of

27:18

a bit of spice beef, this is where the day got

27:20

a little bit tense, wasn't it? Because it

27:23

started to look a bit tight. The score was 13 and

27:25

seven, but there was a lot of red on the scoreboard

27:27

at that point. It wasn't halfway through. There was

27:29

sort of a sense of some building for the US, was there? Yeah,

27:33

you could look at the way

27:36

the single sort of panned out in their

27:38

order. And Europe had gone really top

27:40

heavy. Like we said, Hovland,

27:42

McElroy, Ram

27:44

in the top four games. And it left the

27:46

middle a bit, not open, but

27:49

look, you look at the players on the

27:51

American side. There's a lot

27:54

of rookies in the middle for Europe there. And

27:56

you've got Aberg versus Kepka, Straka

27:58

versus Justin Todd. Thomas Huygård

28:01

versus Sander. I mean,

28:05

you've got three rookies and you've got

28:07

three guys who've played Ryder Cups, Presidents

28:10

Cups. Yeah. I

28:12

mean, they're really tough games, you know, they know what

28:14

it's about. They've been there, done it before and

28:16

they got up early and you could just see

28:18

when Spieth went

28:21

up as well, there's four,

28:23

four of them all

28:24

red and you're thinking, if Fleet

28:28

with a MacIntyre sort of lose

28:30

a couple of holes here, this could get really

28:32

interesting because they can still win

28:35

it. Europe had three

28:37

and a half points up at that point

28:40

and if they'd won all the games, America

28:44

still had a chance to win it and it can turn

28:46

so easy. And like we've seen in so

28:48

many Ryder Cups, the momentum shift.

28:53

Luckily, Lowry and Fleet with a MacIntyre

28:55

pulled it back together but for a

28:57

moment, you do stand there. When

29:01

we stand there on 16-17, you do sort of

29:03

just wonder, is there going to

29:05

be a kind of comeback like that? Yeah.

29:08

Well, we were sat there on 16 and then we saw

29:11

Homer and Fitzpatrick come down, didn't

29:14

we? And they, I mean, we'll come to them

29:16

in a second but they obviously took it right to the 18th hole. The

29:18

next point on the board was the pair

29:20

afterwards which was Hatton and Harmon and we were

29:23

on the side, weren't we, as

29:25

Tyrrell played that unbelievable bunker shot

29:28

right to like three foot, wasn't it? And

29:30

I mean, how was that? Phenomenal.

29:32

I mean, he was that bunker down the right side

29:35

is a lot better place to be the bunker of the left

29:37

side. I

29:39

thought Harmon played a really good

29:41

shot to eight,

29:43

ten foot there and I was

29:45

looking at Hatton's

29:48

shot and it was definitely the easier out

29:50

of the two but I mean, by all means,

29:52

it's not an easy golf shot. Under the

29:54

circumstances, Green's

29:56

a firm enough a bit and he just played an absolute

29:59

beauty. and absolute beauty

30:01

and put pressure on Harmon and that was it. All

30:03

changed, all of a sudden Harmon's got to make that putt

30:05

for a half and he doesn't. That's

30:08

what you've got to do in match play. It's easier

30:10

said than done. And he was some bunker

30:13

shot. Honestly, yeah. I

30:15

doffed my cap to Tyrrell. Doff your

30:17

cap? What does that do? Lord

30:19

Tyrell. Wow. I mean, speaking of Lord

30:21

Tyrell, the celebration was great, but

30:24

describe the noise beef on 16th when that

30:26

went in. Everyone knew how important it was.

30:28

And again, you don't want to see games go. And we've seen

30:31

yesterday, Rory and Fitzpatrick

30:33

go one up into the last two holes and it changed

30:36

and lose the game. You don't want to see that. These

30:38

guys are insanely good and you've

30:40

got to close out games and to hit that bunker

30:42

shot, you could feel and

30:44

sense the relief that Tyrrell's game has

30:46

done, you know, and the relief from the crowd as

30:48

well. But that big cheer, knowing

30:51

that they only need half a point. So

30:53

Hatton won that game three and two to make it 14

30:55

sevens of Europe, which meant Europe needed just half

30:58

a point to win. Elsewhere, Brooks

31:00

Koepka beat Ludwig Eberg,

31:03

three and two to make it 14 and eight. And

31:05

then beef. We were still sat on the 16 when

31:08

Fitzpatrick and Homer came through and

31:11

they both lumped it into the water.

31:15

Oh, this was a tight, tight game. No

31:18

one really got. Got

31:21

two up often. It was always sort of around

31:23

two one and no one could really pull

31:25

away. Homer couldn't pull away Fitzpatrick

31:27

kept sort of bringing it back and

31:30

going into 16 Fitzpatrick

31:34

hits into the water at home and follows him. So

31:37

now it's like a picture from about 50, 60 yards

31:40

and Homer played an absolute, absolute

31:43

class, class pitch shot to

31:46

about four foot phenomenal

31:48

pitch shot under the pressure. Fitzpatrick

31:50

didn't quite deliver his best there, missed

31:52

his part and Homer had a really good chance

31:55

to take this to two

31:58

up with two to play. Yeah. and missed

32:00

his part, which was

32:02

a big moment in the match. Going into 17, both

32:04

had 17 with pars, and it

32:07

gave Fitzy to win, to have

32:09

a chance to win 18, to get

32:11

that half a point Europe needed to win. So

32:13

we made a dash down to

32:15

the green to watch for the drama. And we

32:18

actually sat in a position just right

32:20

next to the right bunker, the right green, and

32:22

Homer hit it about probably five yards

32:25

away to us, and his ball

32:27

was absolutely buried. I mean,

32:29

it was one of the worst lies you'll see this week. The

32:32

spotters couldn't even see it. I had to go over it. You

32:34

had to go over. And tell him where the ball was. Yeah.

32:37

It was that bad. At this point,

32:39

you said to me, mate, you better get

32:41

that recording kit out because he is not making a putty.

32:43

He is not making that from there. No,

32:46

I couldn't see him making par from there. I

32:48

really couldn't. And it

32:50

just shows his calmness in

32:53

that situation to

32:55

take the penalty drop. Yeah. Fitzy

32:58

played a pretty good pitch

33:00

in, left himself a really fast putt

33:02

just down the slope. And

33:05

he took a drop. Homer took a drop.

33:07

Pate him.

33:08

Absolutely stunning shot, pitch shot

33:11

over the bunker. That's so difficult. You

33:13

hit that a bit hard, it's going in the water. He

33:15

hit it a bit short, it's not getting down the tier. And he

33:18

hit a lovely pitch shot. And luckily, Fitzy

33:21

missed a putt to win the Ryder

33:23

Cup at that moment. And

33:26

Homer knocked his four, five foot putt in to

33:30

win the game and still keep it alive.

33:32

And again, fair play to Max Homer

33:34

for that. That showed some

33:36

real guts to get up and down from there

33:38

because he could have easily just made six

33:41

and Fitzy would have had two putts to win that. And

33:43

he kept it going for America. And fair

33:46

play to him. I mean, you've been impressed with Max

33:48

Homer all weekend, haven't you? Yeah,

33:50

really impressed. I think he's been by far standout

33:53

performer for

33:56

the American team. And he was one

33:58

of the ones in the... I

34:00

think he was one of the players in the afternoon

34:03

four balls on Saturday that started

34:05

to turn the tide and get things going, you know,

34:07

and picking up the win in the

34:10

morning foursomes on the Saturday too. He

34:13

really has been the standout player. And

34:15

also, just back on that 18th, that

34:17

takes some absolute elite mindset,

34:19

doesn't it, to like take a drop there rather than

34:21

attempt to get it out from that lie. Like

34:24

he knows what's lying on that point,

34:27

right? It's so easy to

34:29

get caught up in the moment and feel pressurised

34:31

instead of going, actually, do you know

34:33

what, I'll take a drop, I'll chip it on the green and

34:36

make Fitzpatrick hold that shot.

34:39

So yeah, really, really clever, smart play. And

34:42

just on Fitzpatrick, we obviously bumped into his

34:44

dad and his brother earlier, which was lovely. But

34:47

just from your point of view, how

34:49

happy are you for him and how great has he

34:51

been? He's been amazing, yeah. He's had a bit of a rough

34:54

ride in previous rider cups, not

34:56

down to his golf, I think maybe down to different

34:59

situations, parents, it's

35:01

really difficult. And they're fine lines

35:04

between winning games and losing games. I don't think

35:06

he's actually done them. He hasn't actually done

35:08

much wrong. Yeah. And it was great

35:10

to see his dad and his

35:12

brother Alex on the green on 18 and

35:15

stuff. His dad, his parents are lovely. And

35:17

I've always got him really well. And if I ever see

35:19

him, I come over and have a quick chat with him.

35:22

I've never really met Alex before. But

35:24

he's a character as well and a character I'll get

35:27

on well with. And it was nice to catch up and have a chat.

35:29

They're really nice family. Absolutely.

35:32

Well, onwards, obviously, then the

35:34

next point of the board, Xander Schoflade

35:36

beat Nikolai Huygård at

35:38

3-2 to make it 14-10. And then

35:41

we were there, weren't we, for Strzokka versus Thomas?

35:45

Thomas beat Strzokka 2-1 to make it 14-11. But we made our way down, didn't

35:49

we, to 18? Because we thought if Strzokka

35:51

won that hole, that would be

35:53

it. Well, Ryan, we

35:55

were gambling on it, weren't we? We gambled. We gambled. We were

35:57

standing there on the back of the 17th. looking

36:00

at the big scoreboard going, where

36:03

the fuck do we go? Do

36:06

we stay? Do we run down 18? What

36:09

do we do? You asked me about three times

36:11

and I didn't really reply. We're running down 18,

36:13

we're not running back up again to get to 16. No,

36:16

it's steep. If you haven't seen it, it's really

36:18

steep. And I was like, I'm not doing this for the third time.

36:20

I was like, no way. So we made our way down

36:22

to 18. And to be fair, it panned

36:25

out quite well. I mean, I wish I

36:27

was up by 16 watching Tommy's drive.

36:30

The noise must have been incredible up there when he hit

36:32

the green on 16. But

36:36

watching Shane Lowry bring it down on 18 after

36:39

Tommy had sealed that half a point. Lowry

36:42

had sealed half a point, guaranteed.

36:45

And it must have been such a good walk for him down 18.

36:48

I mean, it's quite strange, wasn't it? Because we were on 18. We

36:50

watched Fleetwood win it, essentially.

36:52

But everyone was sort of a bit confused. They weren't quite sure what

36:55

had happened. And then, you

36:57

know, but I mean, Fleetwood again. That

37:00

shot, like you say, unbelievable, right? Just

37:02

that's why that 16th hole was built like

37:05

that to bring drama on Sunday.

37:07

Ride a cup. You know, the last few

37:10

games after these these

37:12

guys have battled it out for three days, you've

37:15

got to stand up and hit a shot like that. And

37:17

that was why that hole

37:19

was built. And I'll tell you what, to stand up

37:21

and hit that shot under that pressure. Amazing,

37:25

absolutely amazing. And in the end, Ricky Fowler

37:27

conceded that hole because he I think he had two

37:29

or three parts for it and

37:31

got got two up, got Dormey

37:33

and couldn't. And there was

37:36

no way you could take that half a point away from

37:38

him now. And that was it. What

37:40

a feeling that must have been. I saw the big hug him

37:42

and his caddy Fino had as

37:44

well on the on

37:47

the green after. And it's that feeling, I think,

37:49

when it comes down to them last games, you've got to be

37:51

really brave to go out 11 and 12

37:54

in singles, you know, because the whole thing can

37:56

rest on your shoulders. The relief

37:58

you must have felt. when Rickey

38:01

Fowler conceded that,

38:04

must have been huge.

38:06

And

38:07

having the whole crowd on 16, the

38:09

big bank, there's big hospitality,

38:13

people the other side of the water, all

38:16

singing Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,

38:18

Tommy, Tommy, Fleetwood, he

38:22

must feel great right now. He must feel great right

38:24

now. And then obviously, you know, McIntyre

38:26

and Clark game, McIntyre won two

38:29

and one to make it 16-11. As we

38:31

said, Lowry and Spieth then came down. And

38:33

at that point, everyone, all the crowd

38:35

started running behind, didn't they? And

38:38

that obviously ended a tie,

38:40

which made it 16 and a half, 11 and a half

38:43

to Europe. And then at that point, we got

38:45

absolutely mobbed by everyone shouting beef

38:47

and also celebrating a Europe win. Yeah,

38:50

watching everyone run down behind. And

38:53

I think security did a really good job in

38:56

holding everyone. I mean, there was

38:58

loads, so many police

39:00

and stewards and everyone,

39:03

and I thought they held the line really

39:05

well. And it was good to sneak in on

39:07

the 18th grade, just because some geezer

39:09

sort of recognized my face. I

39:11

think it's the only reason we got in on 18. It

39:14

was really strict, but it was great fun. And that's

39:17

what the Ryder Cup's about. You know, we don't, as

39:19

a player, you don't get this team environment and you

39:21

can see all the players, you know, when hugging

39:24

each other, high-fiving each other, and

39:27

it must be such a great feeling for them now to

39:30

win the Ryder Cup, and everyone come on the green

39:32

and celebrate. They were spraying champagne. I'm

39:35

not sure anyone jumped in the lake on 18. And

39:37

we know that- Apart from that guy. Apart from that

39:39

guy. Yeah. Yeah.

39:42

But that's the scenes you want, and that's what all

39:44

the players would have won. Lowry, Shane,

39:47

Shane was so happy. You

39:49

could see him walking across, hugging everyone

39:51

once he knew it was won down the fairway. It was

39:54

such great scenes, man. So special.

39:56

I don't want to miss another one of these.

41:05

So guys, we're joined once again by

41:07

Rick Gaiman from the First Cut podcast.

41:11

Mate, how do you think it will pan out today? I think

41:13

the US again, like really

41:15

turned up from that last session last night

41:18

in the afternoon to this one. I thought

41:20

they were really good. They made

41:22

the European team work hard for that. It's

41:25

exciting from a perspective that

41:27

they had a lot more juice on

41:29

Sunday. They played well. They were in a lot

41:31

of matches, but it's even more disappointing because

41:34

the five point deficit that it ended up being 16

41:37

and a half to 11 and a half is the same

41:39

deficit that it was on Friday. Right?

41:41

So they split Saturday. They split Sunday,

41:43

which means you kind of just punted this thing away

41:46

by getting by getting out of the gate slow.

41:48

So it's just it's a little bit disappointing. Happy to

41:50

see them fight. Happy to see that they stretched

41:52

this out for as long as they could on on Sunday.

41:54

But I think it really goes back to this thing being lost on

41:57

on Friday.

41:57

Do you think it was a case of just?

41:59

not turning up on that first

42:02

day. I hate to

42:05

throw Zach Johnson under the bus. That's

42:07

a captain thing. That's a preparation thing, right?

42:09

I mean, you, they were

42:12

zombies on Friday. It

42:14

was really ugly stuff. And that I think

42:16

lies on your team room, your captain,

42:19

to get you ready to go into

42:21

battle, and that is not what happened. Yeah,

42:24

it really is interesting. But I tell you what,

42:26

the way they fought back, there was a moment.

42:30

There were, there was a lot

42:32

of red in that middle order. And I

42:34

was standing up from 1617 and I

42:36

was thinking, what if

42:38

here? Did you have any, was

42:41

there any time where you truly believed that

42:43

that could be turned around or was

42:45

it just too far out? So

42:47

the data guy inside of me knows that it's probably

42:50

never going to happen. And no matter

42:53

the way the board was shaping up,

42:56

it was going to be a European victory. Realistically,

42:58

they needed the full point from Scotty Scheffler out

43:01

of match number one, they didn't get that. After

43:03

that, the path to victory got so incredibly

43:06

narrow where it was a lot of,

43:07

well,

43:08

if these matches hold and if we flip

43:10

this one and if we get this, it's

43:13

possible, just incredibly

43:15

unlikely. So I still,

43:17

even though we got a good solid few hours

43:20

of there still

43:22

being a chance, it was hard to believe that it

43:24

was actually going to come through. You know,

43:26

in the past where I know, I know the European

43:29

team have gone and sometimes

43:32

a few people have said, not necessarily the team, but

43:34

there's been some comments that really fired up

43:36

the crowd and made it really difficult

43:39

for the Europeans to play. Do you think

43:41

the whole Cantley situation with

43:43

all the rumors was going on made

43:46

it a lot harder for the players? I

43:48

think that was a turning point. Right. That was a turning

43:50

point in this entire Ryder Cup was Patrick

43:53

Cantley becoming public enemy number one,

43:55

becoming the super villain, the Americans

43:57

rallied around it and then Rory kind

43:59

of. gives everybody juice on on Saturday night

44:01

and then the Europeans can rally around

44:04

it. I mean it was it was believe it or

44:06

not Rory McIlroy given

44:08

you know point in the finger in the parking lot

44:10

was like the moment of the week right it was like

44:12

a turning point it's like it's what I will remember

44:15

about this Ryder Cup and everything that came after

44:17

it. I thought it was an interesting situation because you

44:20

know it's high emotions and sometimes

44:22

when you're playing golf if you get

44:24

too emotional about stuff it can really backfire

44:27

it didn't affect Rory today

44:30

but I thought there was a case where it potentially

44:32

could affect him it could spur the American

44:35

team one even more and I didn't know if it was going to be

44:37

a good thing or a bad thing. Yeah well you I

44:39

mean you know this any better than anybody I mean some guys

44:41

thrive in that situation and some guys that yeah

44:44

the heart rate gets too fast and their hands

44:46

start shaking and things start going sideways. Talking

44:49

of Zach Johnson like you said earlier is there a lot

44:51

of talk coming out

44:53

of America?

44:55

No I'm not going to say putting the blame on him

44:57

but a lot of people saying the reasons

44:59

why the American team haven't won

45:01

this Ryder Cup or it hasn't been as close it's

45:04

because of his decisions. I

45:07

don't think that Zach

45:09

Johnson will take all of the

45:11

blame for this I don't think this will age

45:13

well for him right when we look back at this in six

45:16

months or nine months or a year from now I

45:18

don't think it's going to age well my personal

45:20

opinion is I think he was

45:22

pretty horrendous admittedly like I

45:25

don't usually like to get the spicy takes out

45:27

there but I did not like the team that he selected

45:29

I did not like the way that he deployed the

45:31

team that he ended up selecting I didn't like

45:34

some of the in-game adjustments he either failed

45:36

to make or made at the time I

45:38

thought it was a pretty I thought it was a pretty

45:40

bad captaincy

45:43

especially when you got

45:45

in contrast Luke Donald who

45:47

was probably flawless. Yeah

45:51

yeah that's really interesting

45:53

insight talking about all the I know

45:56

that they're sort of negative what

45:58

are the positives coming out for the U.S. team. Yeah,

46:01

I think there's a lot of takeaways that you can look

46:03

back and be proud of. One, the Sunday

46:06

singles always shows how deep the Americans

46:08

are, which is which is always something that they're going to have

46:10

an advantage of over the Europeans. So

46:13

you have depth, you have this built in level of

46:15

talent. There's a lot of good building blocks

46:18

here. The one thing that I also think that they're

46:20

that they're pretty good at is moving

46:22

on quickly. We already heard it in the press conference afterwards,

46:25

they were just saying, ah, you know, those Europeans, they just

46:27

they just putted a little bit better than we did. And we'll

46:29

get them next time. And I don't know if that's what the

46:32

data is going to end up saying, but they're going to convince

46:34

themselves of that. And I bet you in a couple weeks,

46:36

this is going to be just, oh, they got

46:38

us on home soil, and we'll get them again

46:41

at Bethpage, right? And they'll quickly turn the

46:43

page here. It'll be easy to have a short memory, but

46:45

I don't know, I'll linger for a bit longer. Talking

46:49

of Bethpage, I think that is

46:51

going to be one of the rowdiest Ryder

46:54

cups we'll see. Well, we kind of,

46:57

there's always the back and forth, right? But

46:59

but there was a and the European crowd

47:01

is phenomenal, right? The way that the way that you guys

47:03

can whip up the chance as quickly as you do in

47:06

them, I just will never be able to wrap

47:08

my head around how good they are. And

47:10

they played a large part in this Ryder Cup. And

47:12

now you are going to like the mecca of

47:15

places where fans are going to be all

47:17

up in your jam in New York,

47:19

a Ryder Cup like it's, it's, it's

47:22

going to be pretty nasty.

47:24

Yeah, it is. I can't, I can't wait

47:26

for it, man. Bring it on. It's going to be great.

47:28

And the amazing thing about Ryder Cup

47:30

as well, I would say being out there like the

47:32

atmosphere

47:34

is a real nice kind of atmosphere in

47:36

terms of, yeah, there's banter. Yes,

47:38

it's one sided, but it's actually fun

47:40

as well. And like the amount of time

47:42

I've walked over to American fans over

47:45

here and had a laugh and a Google with them. And it's

47:48

just got that really nice balance. And it's nice to

47:50

sit here again, talking to you and

47:52

stuff. And we can crack open have a beer have a laugh

47:54

and roll on the next one. Yeah, it's it

47:57

I never thought there was a time where anybody crossed the

47:59

line out there. It was very much I'm

48:01

gonna root for my team. You might root for yours.

48:03

You're outnumbered 10 to 1 or whatever it

48:06

is But yeah, and then At

48:08

the end at the end of it everybody's like hey, we had a great

48:10

time. Let's let's do it all again in two years It's

48:12

an awesome awesome event And I hope

48:14

that at some point like everybody gets to experience

48:17

it whether it's in the US whether it's in

48:19

Europe This was my this was my first Ryder Cup.

48:21

It was just unbelievable experience.

48:23

Mate It's been an absolute pleasure having you on again

48:26

and having a good old chat as

48:28

I said, have a listen to the first cut

48:30

podcast by Rick Gaiman and I'll

48:33

definitely come on the show at some point and see you soon.

48:35

I love it. Appreciate you, brother

48:41

What an incredible day I'm exhausted

48:43

this for you it is that the

48:45

is emotional rollercoaster I mean the

48:47

the highs and lows the buzz of the place I

48:50

don't mean I think like the first two days

48:52

when you're in the stand at seven in the

48:54

morning, you know Long days.

48:57

I'm exhausted. I mean the players must be So

49:00

tired Luke Donald must be

49:02

so tired. His brain has just been working

49:04

on overdrive There's a lot of love

49:06

for Luke Donald at the moment. I'm sure what you

49:08

know, just watch your final take on the job He's

49:11

done. I think he's absolutely

49:13

nailed it. I mean it couldn't have gone Any

49:16

better for him? I think to come

49:19

in and take over the captaincy

49:21

and To

49:23

do what he's done the way he's got the team on board the ways

49:26

picked the vice captains The way he's got it

49:28

water more than Ari on If

49:31

you didn't know it water does a lot of

49:33

the stats for the players. Yeah, so he's used he's got him

49:35

to To

49:37

help with maybe the pairings four

49:40

balls the insight to how they play the stats who to play

49:42

in four Sims who to plan four ball I

49:44

mean no stones unturned. I mean I've heard the dressing rooms. Absolutely

49:47

inspiring with with

49:49

loads of quotes a famous

49:54

quote from Sevi as well calling

49:56

Sevi 13th

50:01

player. I just think he's

50:03

absolutely nailed it.

50:06

And this has been your first

50:09

Ryder Cup. You were massively

50:11

excited about it. How

50:14

do you sum up the whole experience?

50:16

There's no other golf tournament like it. I've

50:19

never seen anything like it. I've been lucky

50:25

enough to play in some good tournaments over the years, but

50:27

this is different. This is just different.

50:29

The team element,

50:31

the way the crowds are, the buzz around

50:33

the place, it

50:37

just motivates me to try and get in the next

50:39

one. It really does. I would love

50:41

to come to the Ryder Cup, the next one, and watch you play.

50:43

Do you know, I've

50:45

heard it a few times from different

50:48

players and that's going

50:50

to be the main aim is

50:52

to try and get in that team because it's

50:54

phenomenal. I don't

50:56

want to miss another Ryder Cup now. I

50:59

feel that strongly about it. I don't want to miss another one.

51:01

I want to go to everyone playing or not. If

51:03

you had to pick one moment, Biff, from

51:06

this Ryder Cup that

51:08

sticks out as your favourite, what would it be? Oh,

51:12

there's so many amazing moments. Do you

51:14

know what? I think

51:15

after the fast start

51:18

on Friday, the

51:20

way

51:22

the Europeans hold the putts on 18, John

51:24

Rahm holding the putt on 18, and turning

51:27

that four ball, the first four

51:29

ball round, was an absolute game changer.

51:32

It didn't seem like much. There were

51:34

a few ties in there, but Europe managed

51:36

to win that session. I think that was

51:38

a massive, massive moment in

51:41

the Ryder Cup. There were just a couple

51:43

of putts there. His putt on 18, Justin

51:45

Rose's putt to

51:47

harvest and win games. To turn

51:50

that round and stretch the lead further was

51:52

absolutely huge. I'll say, them moments

51:54

down 18, they were

51:57

just a couple of putts. It's one of them. Maybe Tommy's drive

51:59

on 16. as well that hole was built for

52:02

that reason and he's just under

52:05

the pressure he's hit such an amazing shot there's

52:08

so many I could name another one Tyrell's

52:10

putt on 16 yeah that

52:13

he hole completely turned that game around there's

52:15

so many amazing moments absolutely

52:17

and also mate we need to do this again I mean

52:20

we need to do the Masters we need to do with

52:23

the majors the Open US Open

52:26

fuck it we'll do the President's Cup we'll do

52:28

salt we'll do everything Solheim Cup

52:30

we'll do literally everything I mean these tournaments

52:33

are just so special we've got to do this again mate

52:35

let's do it well everyone thanks so

52:38
