Michael Jordan predicted that the US Ryder Cup be prevented with 3 ominous words

Farmingdale, NY – Michael Jordan did not arrive at the 13th Camera tower in Ryder this year’s Cup as much as he appeared.

He was not among the people in Bethpage Black, and then he was. All 6 feet 6 inch by him, drapted in White Team USA Gear and burning with a blue flame of competitive rage.

Jordan likes golf, and his two -year appearances in the Ryder Cup have made him really inverse. His unexpected show on Ryder Cup on Friday morning was a cultural experience for Long Island Golf Faithful, who enjoyed watching his air riding in a wheelchair alongside the US team, and clearly believed in Jordan’s mythical powers could be transferred to his country’s best players from Osmosis.

But a problem was arising from the time he retired against the 13th camera tower. The Americans were NO Winking, and if Jordan’s powers started working quickly, the local team may be in trouble.

Jordan bowed like Tyrrell Hatton, part of the first European pairing of the day, looked at a 10 -legged bird blow to sunk his high -energy American counterparts, Bryson Dechambeau and Justin Thomas. Hatton aimed at his vase and fired. The ball fell into the hole. Dechambeau and Thomas Wilted. Jordan Winced.

He was leaving before Hatton gets his ball from the hole. But before he disappeared again, Jordan could not help himself. He looked with contempt, and then he gave three precursor words.

“We have problems”

The truth was much more harmful. The Americans did not have alone problemthey had old problems known problems. Problems that were supposed to be resolved before Europeans entered Bethpage and stole a lead 5.5-2.5 days 1.

The truth was Friday Americans in the 2025 Ryder Cup looked a lot like Friday Americans in the Ryder 2023 Cup – and that was the biggest problem for all.

IN THAT On Friday again in ’23, the US 6.5-1.5 went down to Marco Simone at a morning session and an unequal afternoon session. In ’23, Europeans discovered a three -headed monster American could not respond to four balls and could not compete with alternative shot. On that Friday, the Americans started flat and staying there, seeing while their best players were cheated and the euro accumulated everything. And on Friday, the euro showed a deep knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses of their list while American pairs were separated and easily second.

Two years of spiritual search followed the wicked Friday in Rome. America’s PGA eventually settled in Keegan Bradley as another American captain mainly because he represented a “break” from traditional American leadership. He entered the posting of the posting and supported it by hiring the first team manager and a whole new suite of deputy captains. Bethpage, another home game, promised to be different.

IN THIS However, on Friday the Ryder Cup, the problems were the same. Like ’23, they descended after a weak morning and an uneven afternoon (though Americans threw away another point to descend just three, 5.5-2.5). Like ’23, they were violated by a European monster with three heads (this time it was Rahm, Rory Mcilroy and Tommy Fleetwood). Like ’23, Euro housed everything and the best American players were cheated. And, like ’23, US list decisions – especially playing Datagolf’s The pairing of alternative shooting of the 132nd rank, Harris English and Collin Morikawa – seemed overwhelmed.

The scoring table is intimidating, but as Bradley said on Friday evening, it is not eliminating.

“Well, we played 25 percent of the points. We played the first quarter of a football game or a basketball game,” Bradley said. “They went there and they played better than we are today. They made more blows.”

That’s all true, but the result table is not the only thing that needs to change for Americans in this Ryder Cup. More than any change in the outcome, the US needs a change in spirit.

“0-2 today, quite disappointed,” Dechambeau said. “I played good golf, just not so good, and they did everything. Fate is on their side now.”

Lucky, perhaps, but Americans know that victory is about much more than luck. They have some powerful voices in that arena in Bethpage, none more powerful than the man with white pressed against the 13th camera on Friday morning.

He was Jordan, after all, who proudly told the world that he “failed over and over, and that is why I succeed”.

Americans certainly hope it is true for this Ryder Cup on Friday. Otherwise, Jordan was right: they have problems – and in Bethpage, they are only getting bigger.
