Team USA is looking to bring a Ryder Cup championship back to the States.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the roster is stacked, with Scottie Scheffler<\/a>, J.J. Spaun<\/a>, Xander Schauffele<\/a>, Russell Henley<\/a>, Harris English<\/a> and Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> ready to don the red, white and blue. But they’ll have their work cut out for them, with Team Europe fielding Rory McIlroy<\/a>, Robert MacIntyre<\/a>, Tommy Fleetwood<\/a>, Justin Rose<\/a>, Rasmus H\u00f8jgaard<\/a> and Tyrrell Hatto<\/a>n. It’s bound to be a dramatic couple of days on the Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York.<\/p>\n

Here are the first four matches for the Day 1 foursomes (alternate shot), which will start at 7:10 a.m. The afternoon will feature four four-ball (better ball) matches.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the best moments from Day 1 on Friday.<\/p>\n

Hatton and Rahm extend their lead<\/p>\n

Things are getting even worse for the Americans. England’s Tyrrell Hatton<\/a> just made an 8-footer for birdie on No. 13, and he and Jon Rahm<\/a> are now 3 up on Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> and Justin Thomas<\/a> with five holes to play. The Europeans have made birdies on four of the past seven holes; the U.S. pair hasn’t had one since No. 1. Thomas can’t get his putter going, which isn’t a good sign. — Mark Schlabach<\/p>\n

\u2014 Ryder Cup USA (@RyderCupUSA) September 26, 2025<\/a> Scheffler’s struggles continuing on Day 1<\/p>\n

It’s another ugly performance so far for Scheffler in foursomes in the Ryder Cup. The world No. 1 golfer lost two alternate-shot matches in Italy in 2023, including a 9-and-7 loss (with Brooks Koepka<\/a>) to Ludvig \u00c5berg<\/a> and Viktor Hovland<\/a>, which was the most lopsided loss the event’s history. \u00c5berg and Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a> are already 4 up on Scheffler and Russell Henley<\/a> through 10 holes. European captain Luke Donald<\/a> was second-guessed for breaking up the \u00c5berg\/Hovland team this week, but it’s paying off so far. — Mark Schlabach<\/p>\n

Day 1 update: Europe leads in 3 of 4 matches<\/p>\n

The vibe isn’t good for the Americans at Bethpage Black. Let’s hope they’re not getting paid per birdie, as the Europeans are absolutely trouncing them again in foursomes. The Europeans won 10 of the first 13 holes in the four alternate-shot matches, making 10 birdies so far to the Americans’ 3. There’s a long way to go in this morning session, but it feels a lot like it did on Friday morning in Italy two years ago. — Mark Schlabach<\/p>\n
