State Of The Game Podcast 46: Brian Keogh

As longtime American readers know by now, when I want to know the real scoop on anything going on with overseas golf we can always rely on Karl MacGinty's reporting and commentary for the Independent, Philip Reid's work for The Irish Times, and in recent years, the Irish Golf Desk, independently hosted by Brian Keogh.

Since the European Ryder Cup team's power players all have ties to Ireland or Northern Ireland, there isn't a better person to talk about this week's big event with than Keogh, who shares insights into Captain Paul McGinley, Rory McIlroy, the European view of Captain Tom Watson and the host venue. We also touch on a few of the other hot-button issues in the game.

As usual the episode can be listened to below, or here as an MP3. For iTunes users, the episode is here and past episodes or free subscription's can be signed up for here.
