This was very funny
Thereβs been a lot of chat about the Ryder Cup. Should it be played at all this year? Should it be played behind closed doors? Should it be played with 24 captainβs picks?
As it stands the plan is to go ahead and European captain Padraig Harrington was on Sky Sportsβ The Golf Show on Tuesday to discuss how he is preparing for Septemberβs showdown when he accidentally let slip one of his vice-captains for Whistling Straits.
Watch the clip here:
Is there something you wanted to tell us, @Padraig_H?! π

And no offence to World No 1,083 Luke Joy β yes, he really is the next European in the official golf ranking β but we think Harrington might be referring to Mr Donald.
Later that evening, the news was confirmed.
