“His Airness” likely embodied the opinion of every American watching the Ryder Cup on Friday morning.
Michael Jordan was on Long Island at Bethpage Black to take in the first day of the competition when he said what everyone was thinking.
“We got problems,” Jordan said, according to Golf.com’s James Colgan, who had been standing near the NBA great as Tyrrell Hatton shot for birdie and put the Europeans 3-up over the American pair in the first match. 3
