It was a Ryder Cup Recap show and host Gary Williams was joined by Graeme McDowell and Dan Hicks. Hicks got us started talking about the comeback and when it started to materialize but admitted that the night before preparation was done for topics to discuss on tv should the blowout continue and they needed to fill air time. McDowell, a Ryder Cup winner himself, discussed how Europe has been able to build on their success over the years and has been able to deliver with messaging, visuals, inspirations and more. He also talked about how tight it got Sunday but knew that Shane Lowry was built for the moment. Finally he talked about Rory McIlroy’s evolution on the Ryder Cup and how the team knew he was the future and nurtured him during his first appearance and how that has taken hold.
