Big laughs and a birthday serenade as US beats Europe in Ryder Cup’s celebrity showdown
Eli Manning landed a fade within 5 feet but missed the putt, Bobby Flay cooked up a birdie, John McEnroe and José Andrés mugged for pictures with red, white and blue-clad fans and Catherine Zeta-Jones curtseyed on the tee box as the crowd serenaded her on the eve of her 56th birthday. Those were the scenes Wednesday at the All-Star Celebrity Matches at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, an 11-hole event pitting U.S. and European stars from the stage, screen, sports and culinary worlds — even Hogwarts. The U.S. won 25 to 19, earning early bragging rights before the pros tee it up on Friday.
