We recap The Presidents Cup and how it was nearly a great event, from Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim bringing the heat to some terrible captaincy by Mike Weir. We also share some ideas we have on how to revamp the competition and make it more engaging and prestigious. There were fireworks on the DP World Tour as Jon Rahm lost out in the playoff of the Spanish Open. We have our 9 hole match video with Darragh Flynn, David. Carey and Josh Adams coming to our Youtube channel next week. 🔊 Listen to The Bogey Men Podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-bogey-men/id1510331480 🔊 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7vKtYZke5QsfXghpKpTd0I?si=fGy4ozVUSC6WHPy4crqyfQ

Rory comes up agonisingly close to winning AGAIN on the DP World Tour but Billy Horschell comes out on top and to be fair he's a great winner. The lads watched the LIV Golf Team Championships and it was such a disappointment. The concept was good until the Finals and then it was so dull because it switched back to strokeplay. 🔊 Listen to The Bogey Men Podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-bogey-men/id1510331480 🔊 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7vKtYZke5QsfXghpKpTd0I?si=fGy4ozVUSC6WHPy4crqyfQ

Rory Mcilroy had another close call but narrowly missed out on winning his 2nd Irish Open title in Royal County Down as Rasmus Hojgaard claimed the victory with a blistering final round 65. Jonny and Michael catch up to talk about how Rory's season has been a collection of near misses, and that includes 3 wins! The Presidents Cup is next week and we're both firmly in the International Team camp. Leona Maguire got benched for the Solheim Cup but we don't think that made much difference to the outcome, the USA were always going to win this. 🔊 Listen to The Bogey Men Podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-bogey-men/id1510331480 🔊 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7vKtYZke5QsfXghpKpTd0I?si=fGy4ozVUSC6WHPy4crqyfQ
