FARMINGDALE, New York (Reuters) -Scottie Scheffler's Ryder Cup campaign got off to a rough start on Friday at Bethpage Black, as the world's top-ranked golfer lost both his matches on the first day on his home turf and the U.S. team trailed Europe by three points.
Scheffler became only the third top-ranked player to lose twice on the first day of a Ryder Cup, following Ian Woosnam in 1991 and Tiger Woods in 1999 and 2002, in a blow to the U.S. team hoping to recapture the trophy on Long Island.
