It was first at the golf course where the European team faced criticism from the American fans. But now, as the roadside team celebrates victory, they have chosen the rough way for it. The Ryder Cup Europe has posted a photo with a provocative caption, inviting fans to start a spree yet again, targeting the USA team. The first to support this move was Jon Rahm.

The official page posted a photo in front of the Manhattan Bridge in a vintage style, featuring all the players and team members from the 2025 edition posing. Further in the caption, it wrote, “From Broadway to Bethpage Black, New York was built on the backs of Europeans 🇪🇺 #TeamEurope | #OurTimeOurPlace.”

Not just this, but Jon Rahm also joined in writing, “I love this team! We did it! #TeamEurope #OurTimeOurPlace.” 

After the historic second consecutive win at Bethpage Black, the team shared a jab at the American side, highlighting how the contributions of Europeans have helped build New York. They referred to European Colonialism, immigration, and labor that contributed to development. Even for that, the Spaniard has stepped up to talk the same line with the #OurTimeOurPlace.

Although Europeans are enjoying the celebration, it has evoked retrospective thoughts among American fans.

Fans took a stand after the European team page made the claims

The American fans were hurt after the post went live, and most of them backed the claim with data to share the reality.

One of the fans questioned Jon Rahm, “Don’t you live in AZ and went to university there?” After the claim supported by Rahm, the fan asked if he was not from Arizona. Rambo was born in the Basque Country, Spain, and then later moved to Scottsdale, Arizona. In fact, he studied at Arizona State University. As an AZ resident, he is 2,400 miles away from Broadway, but his claim still left fans curious to know his contribution.

Another brought history to bear in order to discard the claim. He wrote, “Congrats! There is something to be said about the reasons why the Europeans left their country to move to America and build a better life.” The history showcases Europeans who, due to economic hardship, political oppression, and religious persecution, migrated to America in search of a better life. However, despite this, the Europeans’ claim that the fans don’t agree on their bigger contribution.

More joined writing, “Still time to delete this,” and “Is that why your team lives in the United States?” Fans further joined in furiously asking to remove the post and even questioning their resident in America. Currently, Jon Rahm stays in Arizona, Viktor Hovland in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and Rory McIlroy in Florida.

Even the fan pointed out the struggle in a single before boasting it. He wrote, “Europe collapses epicly yesterday and now they boast how great they are !” After the historic lead in the first two days, the European side struggled immensely on the final day. After Hovland was ruled out due to injury, the team had 11 matches to play. But interestingly, they won only one match, while five others were left tied.

With its unique way of celebrating the win, the European side has invited backlash from fans. Do you think it was the right move coming from the official account? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
