262: Rory’s Irish Triumph + Cypress Poin...

The Smylie Show
About this episode
Charlie Hulme joins Smylie Kaufman live from Cypress Point as the Walker Cup closing ceremony echoes across the first fairway following a dominant American singles performance on Sunday afternoon.

Smylie and Charlie discuss the brilliance of Cypress this week and the Walker Cup venues to come, while also recapping a massive playoff victory for Rory McIlroy at the K Club a year after heartbreak at Royal County Down.

SK and CH look at the respective fields for the BMW PGA and Procore Championships, and what they’ll be looking for as both the European and American sides play their final tournament tune-up before the Ryder Cup.
