Iowa vs. THE WORLD
from The Moonlight Graham Show
Driving straight into golf's heartland, the Moonlight Graham Show tees up an unexpected tale where Iowa takes center stage in the golfing world. Drawing on these unexpected links, Tim delves deep into the significant Iowa presence in two of golf's most esteemed events: the Ryder Cup and the Walker Cup. Despite its seemingly unimpressive golfing history, Iowa has managed to leave an indelible mark this year with Zach Johnson, arguably the state's finest golfer, captaining the Ryder Cup team. In a twist of fate or perhaps sheer talent, Mike McCoy, a Des Moines local, headed the Walker Cup's U.S. team earlier this year against Great Britain and Ireland. Against the backdrop of golfing giants, how did two Iowans land such prestigious roles in the same year? Unearth the answer, savor some golf trivia, and get a unique perspective on the state's golfing narrative in this episode. And as the Ryder Cup action unfolds, root for the Americans and perhaps, for that little slice of Iowa making its mark on the world stage.
