How will Butch Harmon deal with the Bryson DeChambeau-Brooks Koepka situation?
During the Off Course podcast this week, Harmon spoke about his different approach. “Hell, I’d pair them together,” Harmon explained. “I’d say, ‘All right boys, get your heads out of your a– and go play.’ I’d put them out the first day, first match out”. He added that he would ask them to “s*** it up” and win a point, reminding them that the Ryder Cup is not about the two of them.
“This is about your team. This is about the red, white and blue. This is about the USA. You can have your battles next week. Right now, you guys are first out. Go get a damn point'”. In the end, he added that DeChambeau and Koepka should indeed be paired together for the team.

What started as a complaint about DeChambeau’s pace by Koepka, ended piling on as the 28-year-old admitted that he felt ‘unfairly targeted’. “It’s really kind of unfortunate the way it’s perceived because there’s a lot of other guys that take a lot of time,” DeChambeau said, adding that people do not understand the harm they are doing to one individual.
