Golf fans were left a little perplexed on Saturday morning after Team USA<\/a> and Team Europe switched colors for the second day of the Ryder Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a decision that left viewers dismayed, the European team – blue on the scoreboard – wore red out on the course, while the Americans – red on the scoreboard – headed out in blue.<\/p>\n

Golf fans were understandably frustrated at the switch-up, with one calling it ‘unnecessarily complicated’, and another even claiming it made the tournament ‘difficult to watch’.<\/p>\n

‘It’s messing with my head’, a third wrote, while a fourth wrote: ‘Am I missing something? The color scheme of the golf makes no sense!’<\/p>\n

Another summed it up by, quite simply, writing: ‘Utter woke<\/a> nonsense’<\/p>\n

Day two of the iconic tournament began shortly after 7am in New York, with Bryson DeChambeau once again leading out the opening group – much to the delight of the crowd.<\/p>\n

\"Team <\/p>\n

Team USA wore blue and Team Europe wore red, in a confusing twist for Ryder Cup viewers<\/p>\n

\"Fans <\/p>\n

Fans complained that it was ‘unnecessarily complicating’ things to switch up the team’s colors<\/p>\n

\"Thousands <\/p>\n

Thousands of fans arrived at Bethpage Black before dawn to enjoy their day at the Ryder Cup<\/p>\n

\"Rory <\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood again started fast in their Saturday foursomes match-up<\/p>\n

But a strong start from the Americans – who went ahead in two of the first three matches early – was quickly flipped by the Europeans, with Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Jon Rahm and Tyrell Hatton all starting strong.<\/p>\n

The teams’ attire is set to change for each day of the tournament, with the Americans yet to wear red in either of the first two days.<\/p>\n

For Friday’s opening day, Keegan Bradley’s players donned a predominantly blue-and-white outfit, with a red stripe across the middle of the chest as a nod to their team colors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Europe, meanwhile, had a baby blue polo, with a darker blue stripe around the chest – avoiding any glimpse of American red.<\/p>\n

Europe led the tournament 5.5-2.5 after the first day, needing 14 points to retain the trophy come Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
