Team captains Zach Johnson and Luke Donald were spotted having a brief chat during the second day's play of Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome.

Donald would be pretty happy with his European team's performance, who have a seven-point lead after the first 12 matches. Meanwhile, Johnson, on the other hand, must be wondering what has gone wrong for them at the 44th edition of the biennial event.

In a video shared by NUCLR GOLF on X/Twitter, the two captains were seen speaking to each other. The user humorously questioned in the caption whether the two were discussing if there was really a need to play on Sunday.

A fan jokingly commented:

"Listen Luke the Team Jet is fueled up we’re ready to fly out tonight."

Another fan claimed that Zach Johnson must have been apologizing for wasting everyone's time after his team's disastrous performance at the 2023 Ryder Cup.

One fan jokingly commented that Luke Donald must have been asking to loan two players to the Team United States for afternoon fourball matches.

Many other fans commented on the video. Most cracked jokes and brutally trolled Zach Johnson's Team United States' performance at the 2023 Ryder Cup.
