The Ryder Cup, held at Bethpage Black, saw Team Europe successfully defend their title against Team USA, winning 15-13. As the European team celebrated their victory, a lighthearted jab was directed at US President Donald Trump, who had attended the event on Friday. In a playful video, Rory McIlroy and other Team Europe members were seen chanting, “Are you watching, are you watching Donald Trump?” as they posed with the Ryder Cup trophy.
The chant was likely a nod to Trump’s presence at the event, which some had suggested would boost Team USA’s morale. However, despite Trump’s appearance, the American team couldn’t quite pull off the comeback needed to win. Trump responded to the taunt with a four-word reply on his Truth Social account: “Yes, I’m watching. Congratulations!”
The European team’s victory was marked by a dominant performance, with Shane Lowry securing the winning point after tying his match against Russell Henley. Tyrrell Hatton’s tie with Collin Morikawa sealed the 15-13 win for Europe. McIlroy expressed his pride and emotion after the win, highlighting the team’s collective effort and determination to succeed in a tournament where many had predicted an American victory.
