Usually we tell golf’s stories. This time, we’re telling ours.

We’re Rhys Prytherch and Alex York. In this episode, we talk about our golf backgrounds, how a conversation in the pub turned into Reading The Break, and why we started a golf history podcast.

Playing golf apparently wasn’t enough. We had to get microphones involved as well.

Reading The Break. Serious golf. Unserious tone.

A 20-year-old amateur. A 10-year-old caddie. And the two best golfers in the world.

In 1913, Francis Ouimet walked into the U.S. Open at Brookline as a local sporting-goods clerk and produced one of the most ridiculous upsets golf has ever seen.

But the bit people remember is only half the story.

New Reading The Break episode out now.

Europe arrived on Sunday at Bethpage with a seven-point lead. They left with the Ryder Cup, but the route there was far messier than anyone expected. The USA won the Sunday singles 8½–3½. Europe won just one of the 11 matches actually played.

In the final part of our 2025 Ryder Cup series, Rhys Prytherch and Alex York go back through Sunday at Bethpage, the American fightback, the strange moments, the pressure, and how a supposedly comfortable final day became anything but.

Reading The Break — serious golf, unserious tone.
