"When you come to a Ryder Cup, you don't want guys to try to be something they're not. We have a lot of calm, mellow guys, so we need the energy from Bryson."
"Bryson plays most of his golf on a tour where he mostly could be in the witness protection program. Nobody watches, he doesn't get any attention. So when he does come out, there's a bit of a circus-barker element to it to drum up some interest for himself."
"He intended to "chirp in [McIlroy's] ear" at Bethpage."
Bryson DeChambeau faces criticism ahead of the Ryder Cup but will play for the U.S. team at Bethpage Black. Captain Keegan Bradley called DeChambeau a fiery player who can supply energy to a team of calm personalities and labeled him an X-factor for the home crowd. Critics including Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee and Rory McIlroy questioned DeChambeau's attention-seeking and noted his play on LIV Golf. Chamblee accused him of courting interest through media antics, while DeChambeau said he planned to "chirp" at McIlroy during the event.
