Trump can't spark US comeback in visit to Ryder Cup
Not even President Donald Trump could make the United States golf team great again but his appearance at Friday's opening day of the 45th Ryder Cup added fuel to the electric atmosphere around the first tee at Bethpage Black.
Europe seized a 5.5-2.5 lead after morning foursomes and afternoon four-ball matches, with American stars Bryson DeChambeau and world number one Scottie Scheffler each losing twice.
Europe started 3-0 on US soil for the first time, prompting Trump to tell reporters as he boarded a plane to New York that he had to get there and help the team.
He arrived for the four-ball matches and there was marginal improvement, Europe only going 2-1-1 in the afternoon versus 3-1 in the morning, but it was far from the "feeling things are going to turn" US captain Keegan Bradley predicted when he saw Air Force One flying overhead.
Trump walked onto the first tee for the four-ball matches to chants of "U-S-A" and cheers and later had fans chanting "Don-ald Trump" in tribute.
Trump sat in an ara protected by bulletproof plexiglass to watch but ventured out several times as players from both teams greeted him.
The President chatted with Bradley and DeChambeau as well as retired golf legend Gary Player.
Trump saluted during the singing of the US national anthem and a flyover by US military fighter jets.
Trump has appeared at a series of major sports events this year, including the Super Bowl, the US Open tennis men's final and FIFA's Club World Cup final.
