When Donald Trump visited the US Open final in tennis earlier in September, chaos and delays arose.

This is what the Ryder Cup organizer (USGA) wants to avoid when the American president comes to Bethpage Black during the golf classic's first day of competition.

All spectators are urged on Friday to come as early as possible to the course, where the gates for the public will open as early as 5 o'clock in the morning.

USGA also writes that spectators, who are asked to bring as few personal belongings as possible, may need to go through several security checks.

Around the clubhouse and at the first tee, it will be completely forbidden to bring, among other things, folding chairs, metal or hard plastic thermoses, and large umbrellas.

The Ryder Cup is played from Friday to Sunday. Ludvig Åberg is the only Swedish player in Europe's team, which is the defending champion in the meeting with the USA.
