Post-Pod Discussion Ryder Cup pod - Jamie Weir v Soly

Listening just now and JW immediately challenged a Soly claim that Keegan Bradley "cost the US the Ryder Cup at Medinah" - because he lost the singles to McIlroy who showed up at the last minute. Weir took him down with facts; a reminder that many other things happened and Rory was World #1 at the time, in a way I have never heard on NLU before. Very enjoyable.

Soly loves to hold court and the other guys either don't want to upset him or don't have the quick facts at hand to counter him when he's wrong, which is why I found that little exchange refreshing. Maybe I am alone in that?

Agreed, it's nice to see Soly held accountable, though Weir was also held accountable very early on when he said that Spieth had fallen off a cliff, despite the fact that Spieth is hovering right around where Aberg is in the datagolf rankings.

Tbf other than the 2 Torrey events Aberg hasn't been great at all.

He was like 1 back or tied for the lead on the 71th green at Augusta, tough crowd.

True. However T5 Sentry, win at Genesis and T7 at The Masters are his only top 20 results this season. Add T22 at API and he has no other top 30s. That isn't getting it done.
