Stricker was overly emotional and impressed by his squad. He said of the team, “Greatest team of all time, these guys are unbelievable!”

Wiping away a tear, he said one sentence that touched most people’s heart, “I’ve never won a major, but this is my major right here.”

In a major event, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka kept aside their differences and celebrated it out with a hug.
