The 44th edition of the Ryder Cup has brought a lot of buzz to the golf world. Taking place in Rome, the Europeans have an upper hand at the moment. After Friday’s round, Europe was already dominating the game with a score of 6.5, leading the visitors by five points. 

Saturday hasn’t begun well for the Americans either. The USA still remains at 1.5, while Europe has reached 7.5 following a win in the first game of the day. Scottie Scheffler, who was part of the foursome loss, broke down. While such a sight should spark mercy, something totally opposite happened.

The 2023 Ryder Cup taking place at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club continues to appeal to fans. In 2021, the Americans snatched the trophy from Europe with a record score of 19-9. Things are different this time around though.

Wyndham Clark’s mind games in the lead-up have proved futile.  The Luke Donald-led team is determined not to lose on home soil. Amid all the tension regarding the game, one of the American veteran broke down over the vital loss this morning. 

In the Saturday foursomes, world No. 1, Scottie Scheffler was paired with Brooks Koepka against Ludvig Aberg paired with Viktor Hovland. Scheffler and LIV Golfer Koepka though were humbled. Only four months ago, Aberg was in college. One can understand the level of humiliation both seasoned golfers must have experiened.

This is the largest-ever victory in the foursome history of the Ryder Cup. The previous largest victory was 7&6 which was recorded three times. Added to that, Scottie was spotted crying on the course. As the post went viral on social media, it garnered huge attention from cybercitizens.

Another fan slammed the American team for their horrendous show so far. They think the visitors had not prepared well.

One fan took a jab at Brooks Koepka. They believe the LIV golfer was more to blame for the loss than Scottie.

Another continued attack on Koepka. For them, Koepka didn’t live up to expectations.

One fan derisively called the golfer a baby. Fans are truly upset. They are not pulling any punches, if truth be told.

On Friday, US captain Zach Johnson spoke of some health issues in the team. This fan used that to take a dig at the crying golfer.

Again a fan scorned him. They believe it will be difficult for Scottie to move from this ignominy.
