Bryson DeChambeau‘s Major season wasn’t quite good enough to make the Ryder Cup team, with Zach Johnson going more down the PGA Tour route with his wildcard picks – barring PGA Champion Brooks Koepka of course who had a win and a runner-up.
The Golfing Scientist’s best results were a T4th at the PGA Championship and a respectable T20 at the US Open, but without the possibility of earning Ryder Cup points via the PGA Tour, he ended the qualification period well down the list.
Zach Johnson ignored Bryson as well as fellow LIV Golfer Dustin Johnson, both of whom were integral members of Team USA’s record breaking team at Whistling Straits last time out.
DJ went 5/5 in Wisconsin, while DeChambeau won 2.5 points out of three matches, partnering Scottie Scheffler to 1.5 points from their two four ball games before taking down Ryder Cup record points scorer Sergio Garcia in the singles.
DeChambeau has re-found his form over the recent months, notably shooting 61-58 over the final two rounds to win the LIV Golf Greenbrier event. He then shot a final round 63 to win in Chicago this past weekend, where he opened up on not receiving a call from the US captain.
“I am playing better than Winged Foot [2020 US Open win],” he said. “If you look at it, it would have been nice to at least just have a call.
“There’s numerous people that I think Zach should have called out here, and we didn’t get that. I understand, I get it, but we’re nothing different. We’re still competing. We’re still working super hard to be the best we possibly can be.
“Brooks is obviously going to kill it for Team USA next week and excited for the team, but yeah, it definitely does sting a little bit, but say what you want, we’re still golfers, and I personally think that given the way I played this week, I could have definitely racked up some points for Team USA.
“But that’s neither here nor there. As time has gone on, hopefully I’ll be in line for it in a couple years. It would have been nice for them to consider us more because we’re pretty damn good out here.”
DeChambeau is right, he should have received a call. Zach Johnson said he called everyone up to the 22-25 mark on the points list,…
