US captain says DeChambeau and Koepka wanted to pair upPádraig Harrington concedes Europe were outplayedSteve Stricker has said unity within the
United States Ryder Cup team was emphasised by Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka wanting to play together at Whistling Straits. The US inflicted a record 19-9 defeat on Europe to reclaim the trophy.
DeChambeau and Koepka’s highly public feud has been a key theme of this golfing year. There were questions over whether this mutual antipathy could derail the US. Koepka and DeChambeau were not a foursomes or fourball pairing but, Stricker revealed, not for the want of trying.
