The American talisman’s barnstorming start proved deceptive on the opening morning as Europe tamed the course to finish the day with a three-point leadThe dawn’s early light broke slow and heavy over Bethpage State Park, a pale wash creeping through the trees as if reluctant to reveal the chaos already under way. Fans clad in red, white and blue had been congregating outside since three in the morning, trotting down floodlit paths to the first-tee grandstand when the gates finally swung open at five. By six, thousands were already wedged together in the dark, swaying to chants and clutching cardboard cups of coffee and greasy breakfast cheeseburgers.When the clock ticked toward the 7.10am start time, the atmosphere boiled over in the 5,000-seat amphitheatre.

Our tipping culture was in place long before Trump, but his ‘no tax on tips’ promise – now law – is enabling itI’m here in Las Vegas for a conference where I just paid $7 for a cup of coffee and then was shamed into tipping another $1 to the server for pouring the coffee and handing it to me. Welcome to America. I feel like I’m tipping for everything, everywhere. And now it’s only going to get worse. And for that I blame President Trump.Of course, our tipping culture was in place long before Trump took office.
