Sam GreenwoodGraeme McDowell carved the turkey at his own Thanksgiving gathering on Thursday. But the sharpest cut from G-Mac's house wound up coming from one of his guests.

Padraig Harrington was one of those in attendance and aside from being one of McDowell's longtime friends, he also happens to be Europe's Ryder Cup captain next year. But if Graeme was hoping to get in the good graces of a man who has the power to put him back in the event, it didn't work out that way. The playful back and forth began with Paddy posting this video of him getting in some practice (of course) in G-Mac's backyard:

Phil Mickelson’s latest “Phireside Chat” features his father, who says a total of zero words
While we've enjoyed every installment of Phil Mickelson's “Phireside with Phil” series, let's be honest, some of them can drag on. That's bound to happen when you're dealing with a man as loquacious as Lefty. In the latest Phireside chat, we learn that Mickelson did not get that loquaciousness from his father.
Lefty's dad, Phil Sr., was the guest, and, as Mickelson put it, “is a man of very few words.” Mickelson wasn't exaggerating, as his father said literally zero words in the short, but sweet clip. Enjoy:
