New York, USA – The stage don set for one of the most anticipated golf tournaments in the world, the Ryder Cup, wey dey happen for Bethpage Black this weekend. As Europe and USA dey jostle for bragging rights, the tension no get any chill at all. Na make we gist wetin dey happen so far.
As the sun dey shine, thousands of fans don gather for better spot wey dey overlook the 15th tee, 16th green, and the short 17th hole. Alright, I no go lie, most fans dey glued to the big screens like ants wey follow sugar as they dey wait for the groups to come through (the suspense dey kill!).
Na so the game commence with plenty eying donuts, with Tyrrell Hatton hitting a nice fairway wood, but Patrick Cantlay no fit escape from his own wahala – he chop wetin dem dey call ‘duck hook’ into left rough. This na rare mistake for him. If he no careful, dem go need spend money to recover that shot.
But wait oh! Na wetin happen to Ludvig Aberg? E drop one sweet putt wey dey slide down the hill, but see as e carry am, e just lip out! Ah! As e dey be, USA don dey three up with three holes to play, and dem dey touch gree-gan for half point at least!
No be only that wahala oh, Rory McIlroy self miss fine chance for birdie. Na their first bogey of the day, and e don give Harris English and Collin Morikawa small glimmer of hope. Wetin you think? Could dem really turn am around? (E be like say dem dey dream too much).
For this Ryder Cup, na blow-for-blow wey dey happen as every time the Americans think say dem don find chance, the Europeans dey rush come close am. Tommy Fleetwood dey goey ayo for his tee-shot on the 14th, but Rory no fit take am home. Na so McIlroy self dey secure o, but can him maintain that par?
Meanwhile, Bob MacIntyre dey show us say e fit gree lose and steady dey collect bogey for approach – like say na him dey pursue them for foursomes! This one na not wetin we expect from am, especially against a backdrop of fast-paced competition. And then, Scottie Scheffler dey ignite fire for team USA as e don score one from distance but na only a half point wey dem take for the effort. E dey two down now.
The uniforms self dey confuse people as the USA dey blue and Europe dey burgundy red. Wetin Keegan Bradley dey try do? Na him wan make leaderboard cool? Clearly, no be so it dey work o!
It don clear say this Ryder Cup na competition wey go hard but the questions I go ask be: Who fit manage the noise and pressure better? The US players dey under pressure to shine for their home soil while the Europeans dey bash on with confidence, which dem gather from their previous win in Rome.
Keep your popcorn close, as we dey watch and see how the match go unfold: before you blink, anything fit happen!
