Alex Perry and Matt Chivers are joined by Ryder Cup expert Rob Giannotti to discuss Luke Donald's concerning week at the Match Play

On this episode of The Slam – a National Club Golfer podcast in association with CallawayAlex Perry and Matt Chivers discuss the WGC-Match Play and, in particular, its absence from next season’s schedule, the nonsense that is the third-place playoff, and the Golf Channel’s controversial graphic that had social media alight.

They are also joined by Ryder Cup obsessive Rob Giannotti, of Blue on the Board, to discuss everything to do with the European team. So should captain Luke Donald be concerned about his players’ form – particularly in Austin – and how does the team prepare to avoid another hammering at the hands of the Americans?

As for who makes the team – will anyone come from out of nowhere to grab a slot? Rob puts one name into the ring that will definitely throw you!

It’s a fascinating insight, so be sure not to miss it…
