Scottie Scheffler had come off two outstanding seasons. Bryson DeChambeau was making his Ryder Cup comeback. Cameron Young was finally a part of the team. And Keegan Bradley was leading Team U.S. The American fans had every reason to cheer for their side at Bethpage. Despite the strong presence of Team Europe, they had faith in Bradley to surprise the Europeans. However, only half the way through the tournament, many have already lost all hope in them. But Phil Mickelson still believes that they can make a comeback.
After the first day, Team U.S. ended with 2½ points as compared to the European’s 5½. Team Europe increased the lead to 8½ to 3½ after the Saturday Foursomes. Scheffler lost once again, but DeChambeau finally gained a point for the team. However, after looking at those two teamed up for the Saturday Fourballs, Mickelson has started believing in the American side again. And he tweeted that he is anticipating a Team U.S. comeback after looking at the complete lineup.
I know Team USA
is down 5 points but Captain Keegan nailed the afternoon pairings and they are going to make a strong run!
