The video put out by the U.S. Ryder Cup media staff tried to say one thing. The body language from Brooks Koepka told a different story. Yes, he’s teammates for the week with Bryson DeChambeau and 10 other guys, charged with regaining the Ryder Cup on home soil. But his feud with the long hitter isn’t over by any stretch. “We are on the same team together,” Koepka said in somewhat cryptic remarks Thursday. “We’ve had dinner almost every night as a team.” Where they sat at the table is probably another story, and Koepka wasn’t in a mood to offer any more details. Suffice it to say no one expects them to be drinking from the Ryder Cup together should the U.S. find a way to turn back the Europeans at Whistling Straits. That’s despite DeChambeau teasing earlier in the week that there might be “something fun” that comes out during the Ryder Cup about his relationship with Koepka. “I have no idea,” Koepka said, hands on hips, when asked what that meant. “I didn’t listen to the comments or hear what he said, so I have no idea.” Koepka’s dislike of DeChambeau is no secret, though he hasn’t spelled out just what irritates him most about his new teammate. It seemed to begin with DeChambeau’s penchant for slow play and spread as the two sniped at each other over the last year on social media. Then, of course, there was Koepka famously rolling his eyes during a Golf Channel interview as DeChambeau walked behind him and said something at the PGA Championship in May.
