Enough is enough already.
In an interview published Monday by The Irish Times, Schy says
that the brash 2020 U.S. Open winner DeChambeau wants his public
feud with the four-time major champion Koepka to be put to bed
once and for all.
"Whether or not they are both doing it to maximize their global
profile, Bryson wants it over," Schy said. "Move on. The bottom
line is -- two big egos."
The season-long strife between the top-10 Americans (DeChambeau
currently No. 7 in the world golf rankings, Koepka No. 10) has
dominated headlines all season. Koepka has dinged DeChambeau
over his perceived slow pace of play, while DeChambeau once
poked fun at Koepka's body type.
U.S. team captain Steve Stricker has downplayed any anticipated
trouble between the rivals this week, saying the two had agreed
to shelve the open disdain for each other as the American side
tries to win back the Ryder Cup for just the third time in the
last 10 tries.
Schy conceded to the Irish newspaper that DeChambeau, who turned
28 last week, can come off as overbearing. But the coach says
his player will not be a distraction to the U.S. push for
victory.
"He loves team play. At times, when he's struggling, it can look
a little selfish, but the reality is he is doing his best to
contribute," said Schy.
The Ryder Cup begins Friday and lasts through Sunday at
Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis.
