KOHLER, Wis. — They broke bread together. Well, they ate together in the same room, anyway.

Bryson DeChambeau on Tuesday revealed that he and Brooks Koepka had dinner together on Monday night with the rest of the Ryder Cup team and said, “It was fine.”

There are a number of layers to the DeChambeau-Koepka feud, beginning with Koepka’s resentment of the attention DeChambeau gets despite the fact that he’s won more major championships.

It’s taken a number of turns, with Koepka caught on a Golf Channel camera he didn’t think was rolling ridiculing DeChambeau, and most recently spectators taunting DeChambeau by calling him, “Brooksie.”

“A lot of this social media stuff has definitely been driven by a lot of external factors, not necessarily us two,” DeChambeau said. “We had some great conversations Tour Championship week when we had dinner, and then this week as well. I sat down and had dinner with him (Monday) night, and it was fine.”

Then DeChambeau teased this: “I think there may be something fun coming up here moving forward, but won’t speak too much more on that.”

He may have been talking about some sort of fun stunt this week to poke fun at their feud or (more likely) one of those exhibition matches like he played with in November with Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.

Whatever comes of that aside, DeChambeau remains the most polarizing figure on either of these teams this week, most of it brought on by himself. And on Tuesday, DeChambeau, the 2020 U.S. Open champion, conceded that he’s been hurt by it.

“No matter what, we’re all humans at the end of the day, and I think there’s obviously a level of, I guess you could say, control that any human will ever have, and you can have a lot of armor and you can protect yourself with people around you and all that,” DeChambeau said. “Sure, there are times where it’s not comfortable, but there’s also times where it fuels me. I think this week is going to be an amazing example of it, and it’s going to be fun to be able to have the crowd behind us and pump them up and show them what I can hopefully do and what we can do as a team, more importantly.

“I’m not going to make this about me again. This is about a team event. I’ve got a brass chest. I’ve taken a lot of heat. But I’m OK with it and I understand I’m in the place where I’m at, and it’s going to be that way moving forward.”

This was DeChambeau’s first session with reporters since since Aug. 4, the day prior to the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Memphis, where he talked about not being vaccinated and one of the reasons was he was saving the vaccines for those more needy. When he was criticized for those comments, DeChambeau decided to boycott reporters.

Until Tuesday.

When asked what went into reasoning lifting the boycott, he said, “This is a team event. I’m focused on helping Team USA to a victory, and that’s honestly the reason why I’m here.”
