00:00Well, Luke Donald is bringing an experienced team to Bethpage and you need an experienced team to win on the road. The last team to win on a road Ryder Cup was back in Medina in 2012. Eight of the last nine Ryder Cups, the home team has won.
00:14So Luke Donald, when he looks at his team and the possibilities of, OK, who could really be an additive piece to my team to really take me over the edge? Well, maybe Marco Payne was probably the player that that came up as a possibility of, OK, he's been a guy that's in form.
00:31You could totally understand him being picked over maybe a Matthew Fitzpatrick who has played much, much better this year.
00:39But when you look at his Ryder Cup record, he's only played in one home Ryder Cup, but his his record really hasn't been great.
00:47He's one in seven from a Ryder Cup results standpoint. So you could see a guy like Payne making the team.
00:53But Luke Donald is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Take take take the same team that talked about wanting to go get this road win at Bethpage.
01:02So you totally understand that from his perspective. And you got a holy guard brother in Rasmus who basically gets all the knowledge from his his twin brother telepathically that he you know,
01:12I know he didn't tee it up, but I'm sure he might be able to like kind of tap into that twin thing.
01:18You know what I mean, Charlie? Is that fair? I think I think tapping into that twin thing.
01:22Look, if you remember on this on this very show, when Smiley asked David and Maxwell Ford to name the number on their mind,
01:28they came up with the same one. I think twin telepathy in the golf world. It's a real thing.
01:33It's definitely a real thing. It definitely is because we had Seth Strzok on and and he was one of the captain's picks.
01:38And I've asked Sam Strzok is his twin brother before. It's like, hey, do you kind of like can you communicate sometimes like and you don't really understand why?
01:46And he's like, oh, yeah, happens all the time. And I'm like, OK, all right. So this is a twin thing.
01:50So Rasmus, although he's the only rookie playing on the Ryder Cup team this year from Europe, I'm going to put a half there for him.
01:57So one half deal. But I added up the amount of Ryder Cups that that these players from the European side have played in,
02:06added it all up, divided it by 12 to get a number that that kind of surprised me.
02:11It's 3.6. That number is a reflection of the amount of experience that these guys have.
02:18So 3.6 years of experience through the 12 guys. Obviously, that's an average we're taking.
