After Steve Stricker unveiled his six captain's picks we fired up the pod to record a Ryder Cup preview with two of our favorite guests: Kyle Porter of CBS and Kevin Van Valkenburg from ESPN. We break down who Captain Stricker chose to complete his team, who he left out of the squad, potential pairings for foursomes and fourballs, Team Europe, the setup at Whistling Straits, and some listener questions as well.
