Team Europe has taken an early lead at the Ryder Cup 2025, stunning Team USA with a 3-1 victory after the Friday foursomes at Bethpage Black in New York.

Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay managed to salvage a single point for Team USA, narrowly defeating Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland 2 UP. However, Europe's overall performance left the Americans reeling.
