Amazing start of Ryder Cup for Jon Rahm and in Europe. Basque, which forms a pair with English Tyrrell Hatton, added the first point for the old continent after offering a perfect exhibition, with almost a hole in one on Jon’s 7 and an incredible chip holed by the Biscayan to avoid losing the hole on 10. Stellar Rahm, a dream start at Marco Simone GC, just outside Rome. They won 4 and 3 Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns.
Rahm and Hatton’s drive, and the dominance they exerted from the first holes, gave the rest of the team courage, especially the two couples who were all question marks and also lived up to the task: the Norwegian Hovland and the Swedish rookie Aberg and the competitive Lowry and the Austrian ‘rookie’ Straka. It was incredible how the four responded to the captain’s confidence Luke Donald.
You have to discover the display of swing, mental power and short game of Rahm, who opened the 44th edition at 7:35 in the morning with a bigger audience in the impressive stand of the 1st tee than in many fields of Women’s Soccer League.
Amazing presentation of the event to a fully engaged public and Europeans cheering them on. Jon and Hatton judged the world number 1 and his ‘rookie’ friend on the 15th hole. They did not give their rivals a chance and did not open the door even slightly for them to enter the match, quite the opposite. Huge and very stimulating achievement.
“It was unbelievable the way we played and we started the Ryder, the atmosphere was unbelievable and we were very solid. at 6:30 in the morning on the putting green, the nerves…” said said Rahm on TV.
It was Rahm’s fifth victory in his third Ryder. He added one point in 2018, the individual match Tiger Woods, and 3.5 in 2021 at Wisconsin, with three wins and one draw. Rahm and Hatton played a fourball together in 2021 against Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau, which started a tie.
Europe is on its way to handing the fourth ‘doughnut’ in history to the USA in foursomes and fourballs. In the second match of the morning session, ‘chapeau’ for Victor Hovland and Ludwig Abergwho also won the 15th by 4 and 3. Already on the first hole, with an incredible chip holed by the Norwegian, it was clear that they would not be just comparisons against Max Homa and Brian Harman.
On the third fight of the day I breastfed Shane Lowry and Sepp Strakaexecutioners by Rickie Fowler and Collin Morikawa, 2 and 1. Amazing performances by the Irish-Austrian pair, which could have sealed the match earlier.
It just so happened that Europe could start a Ryder for the first time with an impressive 4-0 start.
