As Day 2 of the 2025 Ryder Cup approaches, Team Europe is currently in a strong leading position, having secured 5½ points compared to Team USA’s 2½ after the initial eight games. This marks a notable moment as it’s the first time a European team has held the Ryder Cup lead as the visiting team since the 2004 event.
In fact, Team Europe made history by winning the first three alternate-shot matches in the tournament’s history. However, Team USA’s top players, including world number one Scotty Schaeffler and Bryson DeChambeau, had a rough start, finishing with a disappointing 0-4 on the first day.

- When: The second day starts on September 27th at 7am.
- Where: Beth Page Black Golf Course, Farmingdale, New York.
