FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Fans who filled the massive grandstands in darkness Friday morning at the Ryder Cup nearly two hours early got what they came to see: Bryson DeChambeau cranked his driver 344 yards just short of the green and the Americans won the opening hole.
And thus began perhaps the most anticipated Ryder Cup on U.S. soil, played at notoriously rowdy Bethpage Black on Long Island amid tighter security for the late morning arrival of President Donald Trump.
