Captain’s nightmare? Bryson dechambeau may be the opposite

Farmingdale, NY – as novice of US Ryder Cup Ben griffin He was practicing chips from the rough after 15 green Bethpage Black, on Tuesday afternoon, one left him. High, hot and forced for… Bryson dechambeau’s cubes. The ball could have left a mark (or worse!), But no. This is due to the fact that Griffin’s fast caddy, Alex Rithamel, jumped in front of the Orba and pulled it out of the air as an NBA center that protected the stake.

“You may have killed him!” A fan was bark in griffin.

Not missing a beating, griffin deadpanned, “he is indestructible.”

Dechambeau, its wide shoulders, muscular frames and superhuman shooting, despite, is not, in fact, invincible. But his shell has hardened over the years, the result, he will tell you, to reach a place in his life, where he feels like he can express his true himself, whether in a golf course, immersed by hungry autographs or interpreting in one of his much watched videos on YouTube. “After becoming more authentic for myself,” he said in the US Open in June, “I feel like I was more comfortable.”

Which does not mean that Dechambeau is not yet polarizing, and not only because he rejected PGA Tour for Liv Golf’s assets in 2022. Still hanging over Dechambeau, at least in some circles, are questions about his motives, a reality of golf fans are reminded of this 45 Cup Ryder. The first barb came from European star Rory Mcilroy, who in an interview with The British Paper, The GuardianIt was asked to respond to Dechambeau’s assertion that he aims to “Chirp” Mcilroy in Bethpage.

Mcilroy seemed undisturbed, saying that “the only way” Dechambeau stands in the eyes of the public is “mentioning other people”. Mcilroy added, “to attract attention he will mention me either scottie (Scheffler) or others.”

Tit-for-Tat continued on Monday at the Ryder Cup when Dechambeau, in response to Mcilroy’s remarks, told Golf Channel: “All I am trying to do is inspire children on YouTube, and we have gathered a large audience on YouTube and I am still focusing on that train of thought, and whatever Rory says.

These remarks – we’re ready here, promise! – on the other hand caught the ear of the Brandel Chamblee golf canal analyst, who pulled out his flarer and accused Dechambeau of being more interested in his YouTube channel than he was on the US Ryder Cup team. Chamblee added: “He is a strange duck when he is trying to mix with the team, and he has so many possible mistakes of the newsletter board. I think he would be a captain’s nightmare.”

Strong! But is it true?

Playerdo American player who was asked about Dechambeau’s place on the US team on Tuesday went to tie for him. Predicted? Perhaps you will not expect any Ryder Cupper to choose a teammate three days before the matches begin. But yet, the American team’s reactions to Dechambeau were so positive universal than you could not help but buy in it.

Scottie Scheffler called Dechambeau a “extraordinary competitor” and said “people love it”. Patrick Cantlay said, “I’m glad he is on our side. He’s a showman there. I think he’ll get the crowd of fire.” Xander Schauffle characterized Dechambeau as a “Golf Golf player”, adding, “I feel like Bryson could be like the difference for us.”

And in Captain Keegan Bradley, whose opinion is most important? He said Dechambeau has been “incredible in the team’s room”, adding, “We need energy from Bryson, and he brings it every day.”

Dechambeau certainly did on a warm and breeze Tuesday in Bethpage BlackWhere he played a round of practice nine holes (10 to 18) with Cameron Young and two of the potential partners of Dechambeau this week, Ben Griffin and Justin Thomas. While his partners playing mainly were focused on evaluating AIM lines and green slopes and club elections, Dechambeau also made time for galleries. Fist bumps. High fives. The wings that shake up to stall the cheers. In the 13th green, Dechambeau was greeted by a woman and two young boys riding in the ancestor after green. They were carrying a home -made sign reading, “Bryson, we spent school in Caddy for you.”

From the warm expectations of the galleries in every box and green, you also made sense more than some adults playing the hook for a brief appearance of Dechambeau. However you feel about the boy, he is without a doubt the most popular player in the American team. For every cry of “Justin!” Or “cam!”, There were two dozen classes for Bryson.

It would be stupid to try and read a lot in a round of nine holes, but the tremors between Dechambeau and his teammates also looked healthy. After Thomas cliped a ball from the 12th back of the 12th or six meters of the hole, Griffin made sure that Thomas Chip was “good enough” because, in the fourth game, Dechambeau would certainly clean it. In 18, Thomas and Dechambeau cooperated in a reading, and as things were running out, Dechambeau traversed the green, shaking hands with or having the shoulder of each of his partners playing.

But Dechambeau’s practical session was not over yet.

With players, coaches and other hangers still getting a mill around the 18th green, he marched to 1-adjacent. There has been speculation if Dechambeau would drive green in the opening, a 430 with 430 yards that plays significantly shorter for players who can muscle their shots on the corner of the right dog. Dechambeau, tee for himself, placed a stake on the ground and exploded a strong blow to the hero’s line. Then another. And another. And another. The crowds in the wonderful ancestors approaching over 18 green and 1 1st are eating it -and rejecting it, with cries “you took this, Bryson!” and calls of “USA!”

His sixth explosion seemed to be his last, but then Dechambeau looked at the stage – and with the showman Cap clearly – with the mouth, “one more?”

Hell, yes, one more!

Dechambeau tried another, took two trucks and was fired. As he followed, he withdrew and his driver withdrew. Who knows where the ball went and who cared?

Friday cannot get here quickly.
