Among the important figures of this year's Ryder Cup will be Bryson DeChambeau, a member of the US team. Although he caused controversy and backlash by joining LIV Golf, tensions appear to have been significantly reduced compared to when the US golfer joined the Saudi project.
Ultimately, he can be happy that he is eligible to play in the Ryder Cup, and his teammates seem to have a positive opinion of him, believing that he will be an important figure in this team.
Scottie Scheffler, the main face of the team, had nothing but praise for DeChambeau. In the conversation, he pointed out that the 31-year-old brings a huge dose of energy, that people love him and that there is a mostly positive atmosphere around him.
This is the reason why Scheffler is looking forward to this challenge, hoping that Bryson, as well as the rest of his players, will be in the right shape.
"Yeah, I mean, I think Bryson is a tremendous competitor. He's a great partner as well. I partnered with him in 2021 at Whistling Straits and he was a tremendous guy to be out to be golf course with. He's a great guy and a good friend and he's been great in our team room.
Like I said, he brings a lot of energy, the people love him, and I think he loves the opportunity to be able to represent his country. He's a multiple-time U.S. Open winner, and that means a lot to him. Being an American I think means a lot to him as well.
I'm excited to kind of unleash him this week.."- he said.
Impact
DeChambeau is a specific figure, given that he secured a place in this team with his performances at Major tournaments. He showed how dominant he is and how great a golfer he is. Some consider him a key player on this team alongside Scottie Scheffler, but Bryson will have to show it on the golf course.
We will find out in a few days whether DeChambeau and his teammates will make American fans happy. We hope for an exciting competition, filled with great moments.
