CHASKA, Minn. (AP) -- The Europeans were surging and a raucous crowd at Hazeltine National Golf Club had pretty much been silenced when a bald eagle circled over the tee box on the par-3 13th.
Former U.S. Ryder Cup captain Ben Crenshaw was one of the few who noticed.
''It's an omen,'' Crenshaw said. ''It's got to be an omen.''
Turned out it wasn't, when Henrik Stenson made a tap-in for birdie a few moments later to all but clinch one match for the Europeans. Certainly wasn't a half-hour later when Thomas Pieters rolled in a 15-footer on the same green to do the same in another match.
