Ryder Cup Day 1 Picks
Memories of Italy two years ago will still live long in the memory for both teams, and it only indicates how important a fast start can be at the Ryder Cup. In truth, the USA can’t perform much worse than they did two years ago, as for the first time in event history, the Americans failed to win a single match on day one of the Ryder Cup in 2023.
However, the U.S. team will have more positive memories from the opening day of their last home event after clocking up a dominant 6-2 advantage. But, we expect this year’s event to be one of the most competitive editions of the Ryder Cup in recent memory. Therefore, the competitively priced draw after day one could be an interesting angle on Friday.
