The gamesmanship at the Ryder Cup has started without a shot being struck. European captain Luke Donald took a couple of veiled jabs at the Americans getting paid this week during his opening ceremony speech. It’s been a hot topic the Europeans have seized on this week. U.S. captain Keegan Bradley made the first bogey. He was talking about the first Ryder Cup he attended in 1999. It was famous for Justin Leonard making a winning putt on the 17th green at Brookline. Bradley mistaken attributed the putt to Justin Rose, who is part of Team Europe.
