Round 1 highlights from the 2018 Ryder Cup (live updates from around social media)
In case you didn’t get up at 2 a.m. — or stay up until 2 a.m. — to watch the beginning of the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National in France, don’t worry. We have you covered.
In this story, we’ll run down the early highlights and will be making live updates from the first round of fourballs.
A reminder, here are the matchups:

Let’s get started.

How many shots are NOT being shown !!!!!
#RyderCup … Poor coverage so far— Mark Mouland (@moulieontour) September 28, 2018
Things I’m not in charge of: commercials, shot tracer, team uniforms. So, you can direct your outrage accordingly.
— Scott Van Pelt (@notthefakeSVP) September 28, 2018
In case anyone was wondering, from 3:05 to 3:45 @GolfChannel ran 28 ads and 1-2 minutes of flyovers/promos/not live golf.
In that time, they showed 33 golf shots, 13 of which were putts.
World number 1 Dustin Johnson was not shown once.@NoLayingUp @gfordgolf @tdemers7
— Robbie Vogel (@RobbieVogel14) September 28, 2018
The common excuse with golf coverage is that there’s so much action going on at many different points on the course. Hard to use that one when there’s four matches played at a time. So disappointing for viewers.

Hey @GolfChannel how about you show some freaking golf! This is the Ryder Cup! Maybe string together more than 3 shots at a time. I am going to bed! What a joke

It’s early but I can’t remember a player as good as Spieth in Ryder Cup. -5 thru 7, 3-up on his own over a team not playing poorly

Rory isn’t playing well
Europe could really do with Rory McIlroy finding some form on the back nine.
He’s the only player without a birdie so far.#RyderCup

The Rose/Rahm pairing is an issue
The best shot.
The loudest roar.
The biggest reaction. @JustinRose99 and @JonRahmPGA go 2 UP.#LiveUnderPar pic.twitter.com/9rKd8Wdq4r— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) September 28, 2018

Good question…
I wonder who would win in a fight between Jon Rahm and and the whole US Ryder Cup team
— Get Schwifty (@riley652799) September 28, 2018
Getting the feeling the Europeans don’t like the USA chants
Americans have no idea about chanting. Never has that been more evident while watching the Ryder Cup.

USA football chants are the cringiest thing in the known universe closely followed by USA Ryder cup chants

Troll take:
between this and the guy screaming in Tiger’s backswing on the 18th tee at The Open, you have to wonder if we should even have professional golf events in Europe anymore. https://t.co/6qVg4ttgtf

DJ/Rickie win 4&3 to get USA on the board first. Rory made zero birdies in 16 holes; will Europe sit Rory in the afternoon? Seems drastic

Can’t believe I’m saying it but you gotta sit Rory this afternoon, right?

Rose/Rahm vs. Brooks/Finau go to 18… and Justin Rose shushes his own crowd after piping one down the middle? Interesting move, but great theater

…and Rose puts it in the water on his approach shot going for the tough pin location. Rose/Rahm could lose this after controlling the match all round
Rose goes too long and finds the water and #TeamEurope are in trouble at the last! ????

Testing Lorem Ipsum
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Photos from the 2026 PGA Championship
GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
