The opening matches of the Solheim Cup began in front of half-empty grandstands surrounding the first tee at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club on Friday morning, with transportation issues preventing fans from getting to the golf course. “We recognize and deeply apologize to all fans affected by the challenges with shuttling from parking to the golf course,” the statement said. In the 20 minutes before Friday's matches began, a small trickle of fans speed-walked toward the grandstand, but there was no sign of the record crowds that organizers had promised.
