WATCH: Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood and Bryson DeChambeau in heated altercation after caddie drama at Ryder Cup

The 2025 Ryder Cup's four-ball matches on Saturday got intense with heated exchanges between players and their caddies. Bethpage Black's 15th hole saw one of Team Europe's biggest stars snap at his competitor's caddie on the green.

Having won the previous hole to bring Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood 3 up on the match against Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau, they were seeing every opportunity to get Team Europe ahead. As Rose prepared to walk up to his putt on the 15th hole, DeChambeau's caddie, Greg Bodine, walked into his field of perception, which resulted in the Englishman getting thrown off his focus.

It was a crucial putt for the Ryder Cup veteran as he needed it to get a birdie in and move 4 up on the match with three holes to play. Justin Rose quickly asked Bodine to step away from his line.

While he ended up draining the putt, DeChambeau answered back with a birdie of his own, and the incident continued to escalate. Rose kept his eyes set on winning the point for his team as he walked off the green with the American and his caddie, eager to confront him.

Tommy Fleetwood exchanged a few heated words with the LIV Golf star before Scottie Scheffler's caddie, Ted Scott, stepped in and confronted Team Europe's vice-captain, Francesco Molinari.

The World No. 1 golfer's caddie gave the Italian professional golfer a push before pointing his finger and yelling at him. Fleetwood and his caddie intervened to diffuse the situation.
