If a point was awarded for the best captain’s speech during the opening ceremony of the Ryder Cup, Team Europe would be taking a 1-0 lead into Friday’s action.
Team Europe captain Luke Donald was poised throughout Wednesday’s opening ceremony, was noticeably calm in front of New Yorkers filling the crowd, and even delivered a jab at the U.S. team by stating the Europeans are “fuelled by something money can’t buy.” This was obviously a direct callout to the American side being paid for their efforts this week.
