Call prompted official to deem Harris English's old putter grip illegal right before Ryder Cup match

There was decidedly little drama on the final day of this year’s Ryder Cup. The U.S. led by six points entering singles before closing out a record 19-9 victory.

But that doesn’t mean that Sunday was entirely devoid of suspense. For Harris English, it all started two hours before his tee time when his phone rang.

“I get to the course on Sunday, I’m literally walking into the clubhouse, and I get a call from [U.S. captain] Steve [Stricker],” English recalled earlier this week on the "Fore the People Podcast" with John Peterson and J.J. Killeen.
