The Ryder Cup is finally here … and Europe has picked up right where they left off two years ago in Rome.<\/p>\n
After Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas won the very first hole, Europe dominated pretty much the rest of the foursomes, winning three matches going away to take the early 3-0 lead. Only Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele gave the USA a point.<\/p>\n

After the morning play, Europe led 3-1.<\/a><\/p>\n Afternoon four-ball proved better for the Americans, with Justin Thomas and Cameron Young setting the tone with a dominating 6&5 victory over Ludvig \u00c5berg and Rasmus H\u00f8jgaard. But Europe kept up its pace, thanks to Tommy Fleetwood’s clutch play and Jon Rahm’s brilliance.<\/p>\n Europe won the afternoon session 2.5-1.5, giving them a 5.5-2.5 lead heading into Saturday’s play.<\/p>\n Bethpage Black is hosting the Ryder Cup for the first time<\/a>, and ticket prices have been sky-high<\/a>. President Donald Trump is on hand<\/a> for the matches on Friday afternoon, too, which has led to an increase in security<\/a> at the classic Long Island course.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Foursomes (alternate shot)<\/p>\n Jon Rahm\/Tyrrell Hatton (EUR) def.
