An emotional Defechambeau spoke to journalists after a roaring comeback in his last round on Sunday when he shot a 64 to finish tied 10. At Royal Portrush, and he said he spoke “cards” with Bradley during the week.
Then he saw something “in our cabinets that were pretty inspiring.” Dechambeau called the message “personal” and kept it to itself. However, he made a strong statement ahead of the Ryder Cup, an event Europe won in 2023 in Italy.

“It meant a lot,” Defechambeau said of Bradley’s confidence in him on Team USA. “This year’s no joke. We are tired of it. We are tired of losing.”
Dechambeau could very well need a Captain’s choice from Bradley because of playing for life golf. He is no longer eligible for points in the US Ryder Cup location and he sits fifth on the list.
Dechambeau has a small lead over Justin Thomas at the moment, although others PGA Tour stars are just outside Cutoff. The top six golfers on the list after the BMW championship in August will be automatic Team USA players for the Ryder Cup, and Dechambeau has no more options to earn these points.
However, Bradley’s captain gives him six choices to finish the 12-man group. Dechambeau, for him, is a no-brainer.

“Bryson becomes a very important piece for us to win the Ryder Cup,” Bradley Sports Illustrated smeared. “He brings so much. He brings energy, passion, but most importantly, he is one of the best players on the planet.”
Dechambeau did not play for Team USA in 2023 when they were beaten convincingly in Rome. However, he was part of the two Ryder Cup teams in 2019 and 2021, the latter of which was a victory on Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.
From Sunday, Scottie Scheffler is the only given for Team USA on the Ryder Cup Standings Board with 27,770.33 points.
