The most awaited golf event of the year has begun at the Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome. The weekend promises to be jam-packed with exhilarating action from the world’s top professional golfers. Both teams, Europe and the USA are determined to give their best to secure the Ryder Cup.
After day 1, Europe clearly has the upper hand, but the Americans are as resilient as ever and are willing to put up a fight. The most exciting part of the Ryder Cup weekend is the intense rivalries that go on, both on and off the course.

In the midst of all the controversies and speculations, two team captains were spotted together at the tee box. Luke Donald and Zach Johnson were seen having a brief chat at the Marco Simone.
What they spoke about was inaudible; however, it is worth wondering if they were discussing whether or not they would be needed to play in the singles matches on Sunday.
If Europe continues to perform the way it did yesterday, the Sunday singles might not be something that the golfing community gets to witness.

Eagle-eyed enthusiasts could not help but speculate about the discussion between the two captains.
One of the fans was pretty clear that the captains were definitely not discussing Sunday singles.
Lmao no they absolutely not discussing that

But the fans could not help but speculate if the American team has got COVID-19. Johnson recently came out saying certain members of his team were falling ill.
Weird how they won't confirm the team has COVID. Look at the distance ZJ is keeping from everyone

Some fans even made jokes about how their airplane was all fuelled up to carry the Americans back home this evening.
Listen Luke the Team Jet is fueled up we’re ready to fly out tonight

Another fan joked about the TV ratings falling tomorrow.

Some bashed up Luke Donald for bringing his team in on the Marco Simone so they could practice more on the course.
"Yeah you made sure all your lads came and practiced here, and what?"

Some had pretty hash words for the American skipper.
Zach Johnson is just not it. The guy has no sense for being a leader. Has no idea how to manage this. He’s the worst captain in American history. No personality, and no ability to unite these guys. He’s a complete fraud
