FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — President Trump will attend the Ryder Cup on Friday, which means that at around 11 a.m., he will say he beat Rory and Seve, 7 and 6, by himself. So that’s one point for the United States. Another 13.5 and the party is on.
Starting with the Opening Ceremony, which was moved up to Wednesday this year to allow 48 hours for the hot air to dissipate, the Ryder Cup produces the weirdest vibes in men’s golf. It is intense and it’s highly partisan, but what it has not been lately is close.
