The US Open champion only thought was that the team was playing amazingly. And going against them would be fun; however, now is not the right time to go against them. There was still time left to defeat them, and he was sure it might happen next year.

He said“It would be fun, but there’s a time for that, and hopefully, it’ll happen next year.” Hoping for a great play for his team on Sunday, he said the stroke play would be the deciding point. However, it would be a great feeling to go up against the Smash GC.

Therefore, the thought was to play against a great team, but not right off the bat. Waiting for the right moment is more apt, and the Sunday matches will decide the rest. However, choosing Paul, Charles, and Anirban against the Stingers was a no-brainer for the team Crushers GC.

They did not need any particular thoughts to conclude. He said, “how it paired with Paul and Charles and Anirban against the Stingers, it was a no-brainer for us.”

The comments against the slow play of DeChambeau sowed the seeds of a feud during the 2019 Dubai Desert Classic. The golf scientist used to take his sweet time before taking a shot. It annoyed Koepka, which led to comments on ‘slow play’. The statement, however, showed the annoyance caused.
