The 2020 Ryder Cup is less than a month away. And the team U.S. has already announced five players who have qualified. Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, and Brooks Koepka. But, the feud between Bryson and Koepka is a worrying sign for the Team U.S. as they will share the same space for a week during the Ryder Cup. 

However, the team U.S. captain has clarified that the feud between these two will not be an issue at the Ryder Cup. Steve Stricker recently contacted both these players and has warned them to watch their conduct at the Ryder Cup. 

Steve assures Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka’s rift is “not going to be an issue”

Moments after Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka qualified for the Ryder Cup, Steve contacted them and revealed. “They assured me that the team and the country and everything else that goes into this is their top priority,” said Stricker. “They said it’s not going to be an issue, and I believe them. I trust them. As far as I’m concerned, it’s been put to bed.”

Steve said, “We haven’t heard Brooks say anything about Bryson lately. This Ryder Cup means a lot to these guys. Neither one wants to be the root of a problem. They both understand.”

Brooks Koepka had dismissed the chances of the rift affecting the team for the Ryder Cup. But he also dismissed the idea of playing with Bryson on the first two days at Wisconsin next month. 

“It’s only a week I can put it aside for business,” said Koepka at The Open Championship. “If we’re going to be on the same team, I can deal with anybody in the world for a week.”

He continued, “But I’m not playing with him. I’m pretty sure we’re not going to be paired together; put it that way. I think it’s kind of obvious. It doesn’t matter. I don’t think we’re going to be high-fiving and having late-night conversations. I do my thing, he does his thing.”

Steve Stricker, not keen on pairing Bryson and Brooks together

Meanwhile, even though Brooks Koepka had dismissed the idea of playing with Bryson during The Open Championship, Bryson seems to welcome the idea of being paired with Koepka. However, Steve Stricker, the captain of the team U.S., doesn’t seem to be keen about this pairing. 

“I’m not going to tell you there’s no chance, but I don’t see it happening, no,” he said. “I don’t think they want to play together.”
