Ryder Cup 2025: Sights and sounds from the first round

Team USA seeks to bring back a Ryder Cup championship to the United States.
Fortunately, the list is stacked, with Scottie Scheffler, JJ Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson Dechambeau ready to put on red, white and blue. But they will have bread to work, with Team Europe aligning Rory McILroy, Robert Macintyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Rasmus Højgaard and Tyrrell Hatton. It will necessarily be a few dramatic days on the Bethpage Black course in Farmingdale, New York.
Team Europe won the day on Friday, ending day 1 with a three -point lead – 5.5 to 2.5. In the morning, Team Europe won three of the four quartet games, while the afternoon session saw two victories in Europe, a victory for an American team and equality.
Here are some of the best moments of day 1 Friday.

Europe leads us 3-1 after morning matches
Europe won convincingly three of the four of the four quartet games on Friday morning to take an early advance in the Ryder Cup 2025. After having energized the crowd with a birdie on n ° 1, Bryson Dechambeau and Justin Thomas did not make another all day, dropping the opening match 4 and 3 in Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. The following two games were not much closer, Ludvig Åberg-Matt Fitzpatrick and Rory McILroy-Tommy Fleetwood winning convincingly.
The United States has recovered a point with Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay winning the last match in the morning session 2.

They lose the opening match
Friday, the captain of the American team Keegan Bradley sent Bryson Dechambeau and Justin Thomas on Friday because he thought they would give a spark to the Americans. Welp. Tyrrell Hatton in England and Jon Rahm of Spain did not have much problem in a victory of 4 and 3 to put the first point of Europeans on the dashboard. Thomas missed a 6-foot putt on the 15th par-4 to finish the match. With the way Thomas put it, it would not be a surprise to see him sit in the four-ball games in the afternoon.– Mark Schlabach
Hatton and Rahm put the first point in Europe on the board

Hatton and Rahm extend their advance
Things still get worse for Americans. Tyrrell Hatton in England has just made an 8 feet for Birdie on No. 13, and he and Jon Rahm are now 3 years old on Bryson Dechambeau and Justin Thomas with five holes to play. Europeans have sorters out of four of the last seven holes; The American pair has not had from n ° 1. Thomas cannot start his putter, which is not a good sign. – Mark Schlabach

Scheffler’s difficulties continue on day 1
This is another ugly performance so far to scheffler in the quartet in the Ryder Cup. Golfer No. 1 in the world has lost two alternative shooting games in Italy in 2023, including a defeat of 9 and 7 (with Brooks Koepka) in Ludvig Åberg and Viktor Hovland, which was the most unbalanced loss in the history of the event. Åberg and Matt Fitzpatrick are already 4 on Scheffler and Russell Henley through 10 holes. European captain Luke Donald has been paid for breaking the Åberg / Hovland team this week, but that is bearing fruit so far. – Mark Schlabach
Update of day 1: Europe leads in 3 of the 4 games
The atmosphere is not good for the Americans of Black Bethpage. Hopefully they will not be paid by Birdie, because Europeans absolutely beat them in the quartet. The Europeans won 10 of the first 13 holes in the four alternative shots, doing 10 snecks so far to the Americans 3. There is a long way to go through this morning session, but it looks very much like he did on Friday morning in Italy two years ago. – Mark Schlabach
