Europe is overwhelmed by the USA: Straka shines at the Ryder Cup victory!
The Ryder Cup 2025 on Long Island, New York, shows itself after the first day with a clear lead for the European team. Europe succeeds in a strong start to the prestigious golf tournament and, after the first sessions, leads with 5.5 to 2.5 against the USA. This is the first time since 2004 that Europe is in front in the USA on the first day, which underlines the importance of this success.
In the Foursome duels, Europe was able to convince with 3-1, while the Fourball matches ended with a further win of 2.5: 1.5. Among the outstanding players was Sepp Straka, who, together with Jon Rahm, was an important match against the US player Scottie Scheffler and J.J. Spaun won. In an exciting course, the straca and cream equalized on the second hole after the initial gap before securing the victory on the 16th hole. Straka praised the cooperation with Rahm and described the day as great fun, while Rahm highlighted Straka's performance.

Challenges for the US team
The mood in the audience was depressed according to the defeats of the US players, especially for Scottie Scheffler, who lost number 1 in the world in both matches. This has made him the first player since Tiger Woods in 2002, who loses both matches on a Friday. Bryson Dechambeau and Justin Thomas also had a difficult day and could not collect points. The United States could only get hold of Schauffele/Cantlay and Young/Thomas counter, while the European players had a strong overall package.
Europe's captain Luke Donald was proud of his team and the strategic decisions that have been made so far. In the upcoming round, Foursomes are once again on the program in the morning and Fourballs in the afternoon. The print is now on the US team and her captain Keegan Bradley, who have to make adjustments after this bumpy start.
The Ryder Cup is an important golf tournament that was first held in 1927 and has been taking place in the current format between Europe and the USA since 1979. A total of Europe has won 12 and the USA 9 victories. This rivalry will continue to be revived at the matches this year.
