·1 hr 14 min·4 clips

Bethpage Black’s 2012 and 2016 Barclays winners were 10 under and 9 under on a par 71.

1. Golf Betting System Podcast episode 371 is a Ryder Cup 2025 betting preview centred on Bethpage Black. 2. Steve Bamford hosts Barry O’Hanrahan and Paul Williams, and Paul says he has been in the Stats Lab pulling together course form, current form, and Ryder Cup point sheets. 3. The episode asks whether Bethpage Black will reward birdies or punish mistakes enough to shape Ryder Cup betting markets. 4. Steve says the greenkeeper sheet left rough length blank, while the course has had 377 millimetres of rain in the last 2.5 months. 5. Barry and Paul discuss a CBS preview, the possibility of shorter tee boxes, and Thursday rain that could leave the course soft. 6. The hosts compare Bethpage Black with Whistling Straits and argue that Bethpage will not be made as easy as the 2021 Ryder Cup venue. 7. Steve points to Nick Watney winning the 2012 Barclays at 10 under and Patrick Reed winning the 2016 Barclays at 9 under on Bethpage Black as par 71s. 8. They also cite Brooks Koepka winning the 2019 PGA Championship at 8 under on a par 70 at Bethpage Black. 9. Steve notes Jason Day’s 20-under PGA Championship win at Whistling Straits to show the two venues produced very different scoring levels. 10. The discussion goes hole by hole through missed-fairway penalties, including 0.44 at the second, 0.6 at the fifth, and 0.7 at the ninth in the 2019 PGA Championship. 11. Steve highlights the 608-yard par-5 13th, where the going-for-green success rate was 0.6 percent in 2019. 12. Barry says the rough, even at two or three inches, still makes approach shots from the fairway harder than from the rough. 13. Paul says Bethpage’s bunkering is penal and that some fairways have been tightened, which he thinks matters for match play. 14. The hosts compare team stats and find little separation in driving accuracy and driving distance between the USA and Europe. 15. Steve says strokes gained putting could matter because Bethpage greens are described as flat, with poana and bent grass. 16. Paul says Europe’s experience edge is large, with Rory McIlroy on 18 points, Justin Rose on 15.5, and Europe on 128 matches played versus 56 for the USA. 17. The conversation stays technical and speculative, with the hosts constantly testing one data point against another. 18. The pace is conversational and detailed, with Barry, Paul, and Steve interrupting, correcting, and building each other’s arguments. 19. Golf bettors who want course setup, stat splits, and Ryder Cup pricing angles. 20. Listeners wanting a broad Ryder Cup recap without betting detail.
