Fans who attended the Ryder Cup<\/a>‘s first day have been left stunned after discovering the price of an Uber<\/a> to leave Bethpage Black.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the thrilling action in New York – which involved an appearance from president Donald Trump<\/a> – it was Europe who ended the day with a three point lead over USA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The likes of Rory McIlroy<\/a>, Jon Rahm and Luke Donald helped lead the charge and give Europe an advantage heading into the weekend’s events.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, as the day came to an end, fans quickly realized that leaving Bethpage Black in Long Island would be just about as challenging as the course itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One golf influencer – Cailyn Henderson – shared her experiences with trying to leave the course and showed the outrageous prices that Uber were charging.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s unknown where Henderson had been trying to book the cab however wherever it was, it wasn’t cheap. The most affordable option – an UberX Priority – was $440.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the most expensive option – a Premier SUV – was $1,077.<\/p>\n

Henderson shared an insight to her journey leaving Bethpage and revealed that she and a friend had opted to find a shuttle bus which Uber was running.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a following Instagram story, Henderson claimed: That took us a total of an hour and a half to get out. I am feeling faint’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henderson’s post quickly caught traction on social media and golf fans swiftly took her side and agreed that the astronomical prices were insane.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One fan wrote on Instagram: ‘This should be illegal’.<\/p>\n

Another wrote: ‘This is criminal @uber’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Henderson, who was supporting Team USA on the day, it was Team Europe who ended the Friday in the lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump’s arrival proved to be the most exciting part of the American spectators’ day when he arrived to cheers of ‘USA,’ despite his country’s nightmare start.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first day of the Ryder Cup was a nightmare for Team USA after Europe stormed the lead<\/p>\n

\"Fans <\/p>\n

Fans on social media were left shocked after discovering the prices for an Uber<\/p>\n

Europe blitzed the morning foursomes 3-1 before withstanding a late USA rally in another dominant afternoon session to take a commanding 5.5-2.5 lead into the second day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, undeterred by Europe’s dominance, Trump, who took center stage from behind a glass screen on the first tee grandstand, showed no ill will towards the USA’s rivals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As he transformed the tournament into the Trump show, the 79-year-old greeted every player – irrelevant of their team – as they emerged from the tunnel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And he had kind words for Donald, who is captaining Europe for the second time, as the Englishman revealed what the president said to him.\u00a0<\/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.” It was nice of him to say that,’ Donald told reporters following Friday’s\u00a0 whitewash.<\/p>\n

‘It was nice of him to support this event.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
