A red wave washed over the Ryder Cup on Friday as the United States dominated both foursome and fourball sessions to grab a commanding 6-2 lead over holders Europe for their largest opening-day advantage in the biennial event in a nearly half-century.

With U.S. results highlighted in red and Europe in blue on the Whistling Straits's scoreboards, chants of"USA, USA" rang out across the striking links-style layout from dawn to dusk as 40,000 mostly American fans basked in a dominating performance by the United States not seen since 1975.

The Americans, who boast an average world ranking of nine compared to 30 for Europe, were the heavy favourites, but few expected the largely inexperienced side to deliver such a poised performance. Sergio Garcia, who went out in the day's first group with fellow Spaniard Jon Rahm, equalled Nick Faldo's record for Ryder Cup match wins with 23, but that was the only highlight on what proved to be a rough day for the European side.

Ryder Cup rookie Harris English and Tony Finau beat McIlroy and Shane Lowry 4&3 to give the United States their other full point in fourball.

But it is not, Blanche, it is not. And you are the worst offender in dividing South Africans, trampling all over the concept of non-racialism. Just bring back the death penalty... and you'll see a United States of Africa Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 United nation? Cyril is forever talking nonsense man, at times I ask myself if this guy really lives here with us in the banana republic
