One of the most patriotic sporting events America participates in this side of the Olympics kicked off Friday morning in a spectacularly appropriate way.
Just ahead of the first tee shot of the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, the assembled crowd broke out in a spontaneous rendition of the National Anthem.
The three videos below each captured pieces of the song:
The Ryder Cup is a biennial competition that pits a squad of 12 American golfers against a dozen from Europe. It was originally supposed to be held last year, but was postponed due to Covid. The Europeans dominated the event last time around, but with the home course advantage, the U.S. is a strong favorite to turn the tables. A lively, patriotic crowd surely won’t hurt the cause.
