Donald Trump has reacted to the taunting from Team Europe following their victory in the Ryder Cup held in the United States. The European team successfully defended their title, securing their first win on American soil since 2012 by defeating Team USA at Bethpage Black in New York.
Luke Donald’s European team made history as only the fifth European squad to win the Ryder Cup in the US, triumphing with a score of 15-13. Trump, a devoted golf enthusiast from the city, showed his support by attending the tournament on Friday after arriving via Air Force One.
Despite a strong start from Europe, the lead extended to seven points by the end of Saturday’s play. The final day saw a spirited comeback effort from Keegan Bradley’s USA team, but Europe managed to maintain a lead amidst the intense atmosphere at Bethpage Black.
In response to the victory, Team Europe created a video message for Trump, with Rory McIlroy holding the camera as they sang a taunting message. Trump acknowledged the message on Truth Social, congratulating the European team on their success.
Following the event, Trump shared a positive exchange with Captain Donald during the tournament, where he praised Donald’s leadership qualities. USA Captain Keegan Bradley, known for his political affiliations, also showed respect towards Trump during his visit, describing the experience as unforgettable.
While Bradley’s team faced challenges during paired matches, they showcased individual talent in the singles matches. Despite their efforts, Team USA couldn’t overcome Europe’s dominance, leading to their defeat in the Ryder Cup.
The Ryder Cup is known for creating legends and memories, with both European and American teams gearing up for future battles. As the excitement builds for upcoming events, the words of Tom Watson ring true: “The Ryder Cup creates idols. It creates legends. It creates memories that last.”
