He brings energy, passion, but most importantly, he\u2019s one of the best players on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeChambeau posted a final-round 64 on Sunday at Royal Portrush to finish T10 at the British Open. He\u2019s now finished inside the top 10 at three of the four major championships this season. But, as DeChambeau competes with LIV Golf, he\u2019s no longer eligible for points on the U.S. Ryder Cup standings. He is currently fifth on that list.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The top six golfers on that list after the BMW Championship next month will earn automatic spots on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. As DeChambeau holds just a slight lead over Justin Thomas on the list, and there are several other PGA Tour members lurking just outside the cutoff, it\u2019s possible he could fall out of that top group.<\/p>\n<p>After the top six players are locked in, Bradley will then make his six captain\u2019s picks to round out his 12-man team. At that point, if necessary, he\u2019d use one on DeChambeau.<\/p>\n<p>DeChambeau said he spoke with Bradley \u201cbriefly\u201d at Royal Portrush this week, and that he \u201cput something in our lockers that was pretty inspirational.\u201d While he didn\u2019t reveal what that message was, DeChambeau is clearly in and ready to go for the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"content-blockquote\">\n<p>\u201cIt meant a lot,\u201d he said. \u201cThis year\u2019s no joke. We\u2019re tired of it. We\u2019re tired of losing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeChambeau, after making the jump to LIV Golf, was not on the United States\u2019 team for the last Ryder Cup in 2023. The Americans fell to Europe that year in Rome. He has played on two previous teams, however, including the 2021 squad that won in Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The Americans haven\u2019t lost at home since 2012, when the Europeans edged out a one-point win at Medinah Country Club. With DeChambeau now on board, he\u2019s hoping to bring an extra push with him to New York in September.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"content-blockquote\">\n<p>\u201cI hope I can bring a lot of energy and a tsunami of a crowd that\u2019s going to be rooting for Team USA,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryson DeChambeau is going to be a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team this fall no matter&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":278912,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[11080,83247,24412,4321,49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-278911","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-bryson-dechambeau","9":"tag-keegan-bradley","10":"tag-royal-portrush","11":"tag-ryder-cup","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-us","14":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114888993995626375","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
