Ryder Cup 2023 live updates: Opening ceremony latest as pairings revealed for US vs Europe in Rome

Follow live coverage of the 2023 Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome in Italy

The European captain was just asked about his American-born wife, which Donald
met with an annoyed look as he explained that her parents were born in Greece and
that she's her husband's No. 1 fan so it's not a problem.
It's quite a bit odd that in 2023 stuff like this still gets brought up, even in a
"cheeky" way. Not just wives, but caddies (Tommy Fleetwood's caddy Ian Finnis is
an American, and is spending his third Ryder Cup week with Team Europe). No. 1
— who cares? No. 2 — what do you think the answer is going to be?

The Ryder Cup starts tomorrow with Europe aiming to hit back after the USA’s dominant win two years ago.

Captains Luke Donald and Zach Johnson must decide on their pairings later this afternoon for the Friday morning foursomes as a packed schedule begins early.

European stars Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm appear ready to lead a new generation for European golf, with Robert McIntyre praising the world No 2 and 3: “It's been brilliant, it's been everything I have dreamed of. Going into that team room with what you would call superstars, they are just normal human beings. They have treated me unbelievably.”
