"DeChambeau has called on Donald Trump to inspire the US team to Ryder Cup glory at Bethpage Black. DeChambeau's rallying call arrived on the eve of the president making an appearance for day one of the contest between the US and Europe. I hope he [Trump] will inspire us to victory, said DeChambeau. I think he'll be a great force for us to get a lot of people on our side."
"It will also be a fraught one, with an intense security operation in place around Trump's visit. The president is expected to appear by the 1st tee before Friday afternoon's fourball session gets under way. MacIntyre was characteristically blunt when asked whether Trump's arrival could serve as a distraction to the European team. It's just another spectator, said the Scotsman. As a European, we've got a job to do; try and compete as hard as we can and hopefully win the Ryder Cup."
"It's so easy to play into narratives this week and to get swept up in rivalries, Ryder Cup and whatever it is, McIlroy said. All I want to do is go and try and put blue points on the board. I don't care who it's against. If I come up against Bryson at some point, I think that's great. I think that's wonderful for the championship and wonderful for us, as well, in some ways."
Bryson DeChambeau called on Donald Trump to inspire the US Ryder Cup team as the president prepared to attend day one at Bethpage Black. Trump's planned appearance by the 1st tee prompted a large security operation and expectations of an electric, partisan crowd. Robert MacIntyre dismissed the idea that the president could distract the European team, emphasizing focus on competing and winning. Rory McIlroy said he wanted only to secure blue points, welcomed a potential matchup with DeChambeau, and cautioned against getting swept up in rivalries or narratives during the championship.
