The dysfunction of the Ryder Cup in the United States is not limited to misanthrope Patrick Reed. At least Reed's problem with his teammates and captain was limited to words. Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka can not say the same because they had at least one physical encounter during this Ryder Cup experience. There are now several reports indicating that the two men had to be separated at a party after the Ryder Cup. There is also a report from a French newspaper that the two men had a problem with the aircraft of the team. at Paris Tour Championship in Atlanta.
DJ and Koepka are still described as close friends, living in South Florida and constantly working together, both at home and on the road, during the tour. They share a coach, magazine covers and a similar golf style. The two often run together and have earned the easy nickname, the "Bash Brothers".
They look like a pair of natural Ryder Cups, but this is not the case in their two common appearances. The two men met only once in Paris, facing Foursomes in alternate shooting on Saturday afternoon and losing to Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose. They played together once in the 2016 Ryder Cup, losing another alternative match.
We do not know why the two men clashed in the post-match. James Corrigan from Telegraph He first reported the incident, citing witnesses as "clearly shocked and upset by the wickedness, which was very threatening". After all these team competitions, both parties usually meet and party until Sunday evening. This incident occurred at a party organized on the side of the European team, according to Corrigan. His report has been confirmed by several outlets on both sides of the Atlantic. Each report describes the incident as being both "to be separated".
A Golf Digest A report quoted a source on Tuesday as saying that Paulina Gretzy, DJ's fiancée, was a "central figure in the incident" and that Koepka's girlfriend was also involved.
The report of The Team A French newspaper describes an incident during the flight to the Ryder Cup. The report also adds that Captain Jim Furyk should talk to both players and ask them to overcome the problem and prioritize the team.
Koepka's agent denied an incident concerning Golf Digestbut it is clear that something has happened and many reports confirm it. Koepka will probably now realize his wish to be summoned for further press conferences and media access, while efforts are being made to try to understand what has happened and its implications. It's just a piece of the drama and dysfunction that surrounds the American side after their horrible defeat of 17.5 to 10.5 in Paris.
There was real optimism that this 2018 team would be the one to end 25 years of winless drought in Europe. The lineup was loaded and a new generation, without this scar tissue, gave it a world-class talent that made the US the favorite. But between the Reed drama with Spieth and now DJ-Koepka, this young generation has learned to hate each other with surprising speed like SEC.
