A video shared by NUCLR Golf on X captured the intense moment the players and caddies walked to their next tee while arguing with each other. The argument stemmed from an incident that broke out on the 15th hole when Bryson DeChambeau’s caddie accidentally got in Justin Rose’s way as he was trying to putt.

In the video, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Bryson DeChambeau, and Ted Scott (Scottie Scheffler’s caddie) could be seen exchanging words as they made their way through the crowd.

One fan reacted to the altercation in a mocking tweet that read:

“Bryson [DeChambeau] is a cry baby hahahahahaha”

Another fan pointed fingers at Justin Rose for supposedly instigating the drama. The user wrote:

“Justin [Rose] is a prick, rude to caddy, in front of the world. Take that sh*t back to England.”

One fan applauded DeChambeau for his outburst and wrote that he was playing with more enthusiasm than his fellow American golfers. The fan wrote:

“I actually like this from Bryson [DeChambeau]… seems to be the only American playing with 🔥. All the rest are shell shocked or just not built for this.”

A fan with an opposing view added:

“So fun to watch Bryson falling apart, Fleetwood and Rose respond in the best possible way with another easy point.”

Another user wrote:

“Rose could've just asked nicely. I didn't hear what he said, but he was definitely animated. Not a good look.”

Someone else pointed out that the American players should've directed their anger elsewhere because of their poor performance in the Ryder Cup so far. The user penned:

“Has an American team had any lead at any point this afternoon? They've been all square at best, and even that was several holes back. They should be yelling at their putters.”
