Yes, Bryson DeChambeau is just one of 12 on the U.S. Ryder Cup team, but there isn\u2019t a more pivotal or polarizing player for the Americans this week at Bethpage Black.<\/p>\n
The wildly popular, quirky Californian is, quite simply, the X-factor for the Americans as they take on Europe. That, in fact, is exactly what U.S. captain Keegan Bradley called him before the matches get underway Friday morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cBryson can carry a team,\u201d U.S. vice captain Gary Woodland told The Post. \u201cHe\u2019s a dominant figure. He\u2019s bringing the energy. No situation is too big for Bryson. He\u2019s a guy that we need. He\u2019s a guy we\u2019ll rely on.<\/p>\n
\u201cBryson has sacrificed a lot for this team,\u201d Woodland added. \u201cFans love him. He\u2019ll have a massive following. He\u2019ll be able to match the energy of New York, and we need to match Bryson\u2019s energy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yes, Bryson DeChambeau is just one of 12 on the U.S. Ryder Cup team, but there isn\u2019t a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":252707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[29108,10125,1430,8656,62,2225,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-252706","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-bethpage-black","9":"tag-bryson-dechambeau","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-ryder-cup","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-sports-plus","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115262950258989680","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
