Team USA is in a rough spot after the first day of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
Team Europe took three of four matches in the foursomes, with only Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele earning a point. The afternoon session wasn’t much better, with Europe winning two matches, Justin Thomas and Cameron Young pulling out a win, and Cantlay and Sam Burns grinding out a tie.
Can Team USA right the ship on Day 2?
Here are some of the best moments from Saturday.

For the second straight day, Team Europe won three out of the four matches during the morning foursomes (alternate shot).
