It seems the dust has not yet settled on the USA's record-breaking Ryder Cup victory...
From Shane Lowry hitting out at both the American fans and Patrick Cantlay, to suggestions of ball issues within the European camp enforcing "last minute" partnership switch-ups, the stooshie rumbles on. Michael and Bryce debate all of the big talking points on this week's episode of the award-winning bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, Anna Nordqvist joins to talk about winning majors, beating the US, and her upcoming "official" wedding to Scots golfer-turned-caddie Kevin McAlpine.
Also... where the hell is Anthony Kim?!

Well... that was extraordinary. A record-breaking Ryder Cup win for a new-look United States and an emotional humbling for a European side largely unaccustomed to defeat in the contest.
On this week's episode of the most opinionated podcast in golf, Michael and Bryce reflect on the 'Walloping in Wisconsin' and ask what's next for Europe? What changes need to be made to ensure this never happens again? Who will take over as captain from Padraig Harrington? And what now for Rory?
There's praise, too, for the USA - in particular new BFFs Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.

Craig Connelly has been there, done that and got the Ryder Cup winner's T-shirt, so who better to give us the lowdown on the match ahead of this week's clash at Whistling Straits?
The Glasgow man discusses what it was like to have a front-row seat as Martin Kaymer completed the 'Miracle at Medinah' in 2012, the "bile" spewed by some spectators, and how he and his fellow loopers prepare for the week.
Elsewhere, Michael and Bryce discuss how Steve Stricker solves his Koepka-sized problem and golf nicknames get the Honesty Box treatment.
It's another packed ep of the most opinionated podcast in golf.

This very special, bonus episode of the award-winning bunkered Podcast – brought to you in association with Motocaddy - comes live from Adare Manor in Ireland.
Michael and Bryce travelled to the Limerick resort, the host venue for the 2027 Ryder Cup, to see and hear how it is preparing to welcome the biggest event in golf. They speak to Director of Golf Operations Andy McMahon and Alan MacDonnell, the Golf Course Superintendent – and, naturally, they give their own thoughts on the Tom Fazio layout.
The guys also turn their attention to this year’s match at Whistling Straits, giving their straight-to-the-point verdicts on each of the 24 players taking part, as well as the captains, the course, the crowds and more.

With the Ryder Cup just around the corner, where better to record this week's episode of The bunkered Podcast than the spectacular 2027 host venue, Adare Manor?
Michael and Bryce travelled to Ireland to discuss how the two sides are shaping up for Whistling Straits. Have the Americans already given themselves a black eye with the way they've gone about their picks?
Also, Wentworth - has the BMW PGA Championship lost all right to call itself the European Tour's 'flagship' event? And what lessons can golf learn from Emma Raducanu's remarkable US Open triumph?

Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé!
Europe has successfully defended the Solheim Cup after yet another action-packed edition of the best event in women's golf. On this week's episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael and Bryce reflect on a phenomenal week at Inverness Golf Club, lavish praise on captain Catriona Matthew and look back on *that* rules fiasco.
