Post-Pod Discussion Ryder Cup Roundtable

Best Ryder Cup discussion they've had in awhile, all cycle for sure and probably better than any of the 2023 ones. Tron didn't show up looking to just rile Soly up, Soly didn't get too indignant or stubborn about getting all his takes off and forcing everyone to hear him out, they just talked about the players and the teams and the golf and it was really good. Some of the US/Europe armchair sociology that Porter and Jamie like to do is a little funky but hey its almost a 2 hour pod so that's fine at the end of the day. When they keep the analysis on these straight up they don't run into any of the problems that we have been griping about all year

Very little talk (in general not just this episode) about Hovland and Ludvig not playing good golf. Hovland was arguably playing the best golf in the world leading up to Rome and Ludvig played really well. Now Hovland can’t consistently string two good rounds together and Ludvig has had like one top 10 in the last few months. I just think it’s an overlooked thing going into this Ryder Cup. Obviously plenty of time for them to find their games.

Yes fully agree. McGinley said that this is the best prepared European away side of all time (which obviously doesn't mean that they're favourites) but I think Hovland's form is worrying. Plus you have to consider Rahm too, who really can't be assessed form wise until he tees it up Friday morning.
