After Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas won the very first hole, Europe dominated pretty much the rest of the foursomes, winning three matches going away to take the early 3-0 lead. Only Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele gave the USA a point.

The Europeans dominated the middle portion of the front nine and put blue flags all over the leaderboard as groups made the turn. At one point, more than an hour passed between holes won by the Americans. That early lull sucked all of the air out of the frenzied atmosphere at Bethpage Black.

The Ryder Cup is in full swing as the best American and European golfers in the world are competing against each other.
