Justin Rose, Bryson DeChambeau, and some caddies got into an intense argument at the Ryder Cup on Saturday. This came after the United States entered the session of four-balls trailing Europe 8½ to 3½. At the time of writing this story, Europe was in the lead and would need 1½ points on Sunday to reach the 14 points needed to retain the title.
Justin Rose vs Bryson DeChambeau: What happened at Saturday's session?
Rose appeared to mouth at DeChambeau's caddie, Greg Bodin, as players walked off the 15th green. It likely stemmed from Bodine stepping in Rose's line on the green.
Explaining what happened, Justin Rose told NBC: “I was waiting to putt. The boys were obviously working on their read, going through a lot of their calculations and bits and pieces. I waited a few seconds. And then I felt like they came up again, and I questioned, ‘It’s my putt, right?’ Or however I said it. Maybe I didn’t say it as politely as I could’ve said it in the moment. By no means was there any disrespect, but obviously it was taken the wrong way.”
“I don't think we should dwell on that, honestly. I said to the boys, if you want me to say, excuse me, please, then yeah, my bad, but it was an amazing match honestly. I think we got off to a great start. The quality of golf was exceptional. Tommy played incredible around the turn in the middle of the back nine, and it was an epic match to be a part of.”
DeChambeau seemed upset with Rose for confronting Bodine.
Rose was also confronted by Scottie Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, while Fleetwood was involved in words with Dechambeau. Fleetwood’s caddie, Ian Finnis, attempted to calm things down at tee.
He was pictured speaking to Bodine, saying: “Let’s just all chill out. Let’s play. He can take as long as he wants.”
