Episode 3345: McIlroy’s Magic 2025, Irish Roars, Boos For Trump
When McIlroy drained a monster eagle putt on the 18th green at the K Club to get into a playoff, the fans at The Irish Open let out a roar worthy of any major; yesterday’s dramatic, emotional win in front of his home fans caps off what is arguably the best season of his career.

We chat to Joe Callaghan about Rory’s roller coaster season, what incredible entertainment he provides, about the wholesome family scenes we saw at the K club and Joe talks about being a cub reporter covering the start of Rory’s amateur career.

We also discuss Trump’s appearance at the US Open men’s final last night which resulted in delays, boos, some odd moments on TV, and a win for Carlos Alcaraz.
