<\/a>Donald hails McIlroy and Rahm after day one<\/p>\n

European captain Luke Donald hailed his big guns Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy after his side made a superb start to the 45th Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

Rahm helped secure two of those points as he went out first in both sessions and world number two McIlroy delivered one-and-a half.<\/p>\n

Donald said: “They were massive. I don’t think Jon has lost in a team – in fourballs or foursomes – since Paris (in 2018).<\/p>\n

“He’s an incredible leader for us on and off the course, mostly with the way he plays, a leader.<\/p>\n

“I feel like he’s someone that wants to do a lot of his talking with his golf clubs.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “Rory is slightly more vocal in the team room. Rory’s talked about what the Ryder Cup means and how much he relishes the opportunity to hopefully be on winning teams.<\/p>\n

“He’s made it quite clear that one of his big goals was to win an away Ryder Cup again and he played fantastic golf today.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Captains hail Trump’s flying visit<\/p>\n

Bradley, who also bowed down in front of the president, has not hidden his political allegiance in the build-up to the tournament and said having Trump there will be a lifelong memory.<\/p>\n

“It was great. That was really a cool experience,” he said. “Seeing an active president on the grounds of a Ryder Cup or at a golf event, what a cool thing.<\/p>\n

“The flyover with Air Force One, I’ll never forget that the rest of my life. It was really cool.”<\/p>\n

While many US players interacted with Trump, the majority of the European team ignored him.<\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy was an exception, waving to him, while Europe captain Luke Donald also had a chat.<\/p>\n

“I saw Mr President and shook his hand and said hello, and he said, ‘You know what, you’re becoming a real great leader’.<\/p>\n

“It was nice of him to say that.<\/p>\n

“It was, again, nice of him to support this event.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Trump fails to inspire US comeback<\/p>\n

Donald Trump acted as the United States’ chief cheerleader, but it failed to have the desired effect as Europe took early control of the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

The golf-loving president arrived at Bethpage Black ahead of the afternoon session with his country trailing 3-1 from the morning foursomes.<\/p>\n

He whipped the crowd up into a patriotic frenzy, walking Bryson DeChambeau to the first tee and embracing US captain Keegan Bradley before taking his place behind a transparent screen.<\/p>\n

His presence prompted chants of “USA” before a playing of the national anthem was accompanied by a military aircraft flyover.<\/p>\n

Trump is friends with DeChambeau, having appeared in one of the LIV golfer’s YouTube videos, and nodded approvingly when DeChambeau thundered a drive down the first fairway.<\/p>\n

But the home side did not ride the wave of patriotism as Europe consolidated their lead in the afternoon fourballs, extending it to 5.5 2.5.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Rory McIlroy appears to make offensive gesture towards the crowd at Ryder Cup<\/p>\n

The Northern Irishman helped inspire Europe to a 5.5-2.5 advantage after two sessions but after being heckled during his fourballs match alongside Shane Lowry<\/a>, McIlroy could be seen raising a finger on his left hand as he walked off the 11th green.<\/p>\n

McIlroy and Lowry had just gone two up against the American pair of Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay<\/a> when a video circulating on social media showed him gesturing in the direction of the crowd.<\/p>\n

There is no explanation as to what provoked the gesture, with McIlroy enduring a mixed relationship with USA fans.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Donald Trump gives USA unlikely Ryder Cup edge to counter Europe\u2019s fast start<\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a> gripped Bryson DeChambeau<\/a>\u2019s hand firmly. The American golfer was grinning again after the misery of a 4&3 beatdown from Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton in Ryder Cup<\/a> foursomes an hour earlier.<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s demeanour then turned serious though. DeChambeau, partnering Ben Griffin in the first fourball match after a damaging and stunning 3-1 defeat in the morning session, is a good friend of Trump, and holds a government role as the chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, a role confirmed by Trump at the White House.<\/p>\n
