Episode 3363: Ryder Cup Retained, Shane Saves The Day, US Fans Go Below The Belt

Mon 29th Sep 2025
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Malachy Clerkin, Joe Callaghan

It was a wild Ryder Cup weekend at Bethpage Black, for good and for bad.

Despite heckling from American fans that managed all at once to be annoying, unoriginal and verging on the obscene, Europe wiped the floor with the US over the first two days of the tournament. And then came Sunday…

Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times is in studio and Joe Callaghan joins us from New York to chat about Shane Lowry’s huge performance despite the abuse he and Rory McIlroy faced, when the welcome change in atmosphere at a Ryder Cup spills over into something ugly, and poor old Keegan Bradley’s captaincy from hell.

Plus there’s a slice of Ian Wright and SC after dark.
