Good start for Europe :)
Well, here we go again it’s RC time! My prediction is a close fought competition but the USA team to just shave it, maybe 15-13.

Fantastic day's play, though remember Europe won 4-0 on the first morning of last week's Solheim Cup and lost the event, so mustn't get carried away.
Yet.
Edit: appreciate Europe didn't lose as such, but USA retained the trophy
Don’t think so.

Long way to go but a great start for Europe and they’re bound to be on a high tomorrow morning!
Damn - sorry all. Clearly a little tired and emotional last night!
Well, that was all a bit chaotic yesterday. Let’s hope that Europe’s golf does the talking today… great start from Rahm
Quite appropriate to see several US fanatics in dinosaur costumes.
Lovely piece of commentary earlier: "Rahmbo gets first blood"
Does anyone here think that Europe may not get the half point needed?
It’s looking touch and go right now.
It swings do quickly, scored at least 16 now! Won by a mile
Yep there was a point where there was a solid block of red - squeaky bum indeed. Fantastic performance though, I thought Rahm’s half on the 18th was excellent
Have the none contracted players been given the same Rolex DJ?

Congratulations to the European Team. Well deserved result.
Golf but not as I know it!
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Attended when it was at gleneagles - atmosphere incredible. 30 yrs with No away wins. Great work Europe

Boys appear to be enjoying this one a bit. Gonna be some sore heads tomorrow lmao https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aD_UdMIeM6M
We went out to Rome for the practice day and the three competition days and I think it's up there with the best sporting occasions I've ever been to... amazing atmosphere throughout. Plenty of banter with the Americans, and there were a lot of them there this time.
It started to get a little nervous on Sunday afternoon but standing on the 17th watching Lowry hole his putt to confirm a half was amazing.
We got quite lucky with our choice of spots... managed to get into the grandstand on the 18th green on Friday afternoon to see Victor, Rahm and Rose all half their matches with phenomenal putts. The 1st grandstand on Saturday morning was incredible and after a bit of a shaky start on Friday the organisers got everything right over the weekend.
Marco Simone is the perfect venue for this sort of golf - loads of banked fairways for some great viewing, pristine greens which were quick but not US quick and some very nasty rough that really punished anyone who left the fairway. Made for a great event!
