Christian PetersenThe opening day of the 2018 Ryder Cup is officially in the books, with Team Europe sweeping afternoon Foursomes like a high school cafeteria at 1pm. But while the scoreboard may look a little lopsided heading into day two, the best-fanbase sweepstakes are still a dead heat, with flag-waving, torch-bearing golf crazies from both sides of the pond flooding the fairways of Le Golf National. From Vvkings to Waluigis, here are some of our favorite, festive die-hards from Friday's action.
