The American team's performance at the 2023 Ryder Cup was dismal. Golf fans lambasted team captain Zach Johnson for his pairing after their poor showing in the biennial competition. However, LIV golfers came in support of the team and cheered for them on social media.
After the disappointing start on Friday morning, Bryson DeChambeau came in support of his country at the Ryder Cup. He shared a post on X (formerly called Twitter), hoping for the team's comeback on the second day.
The American golfer tweeted:
"Rooting for a big comeback in Rome."
Fans reacted to say that he should be have been in the team. One tweeted:
"You should’ve been there. Brutal that politics prevented the best team from going to Rome."
"You shoulda been there g. Could have done some serious damage with the way you’ve been playing," jotted another fan.
"They made a mistake not bringing you fella. I’m happy your not there for the Europeans, but you should be there!," wrote another.
Bryson DeChambeau played in the Ryder Cup twice. He made his debut at the tournament in 2018 and competed in 2021. However, he missed the competition in 2023.
