Bryson DeChambeau said he is working to put his feud with Brooks Koepka aside as the U.S. team prepares for the Ryder Cup this week at Whistling Straits.
"We had some great conversations Tour Championship week when we had dinner, and this week as well," DeChambeau told reporters Tuesday, his first time meeting the media in more than a month. "I had dinner with him last night, and it was fun, and I think there may be something fun coming up here, but won't speak too much more on that."
U.S. captain Steve Stricker said Monday that the rivalry is a "non-issue."
"They have assured me it's not going to be an issue. I have no worries whatsoever," Stricker said. "Will we pair them together? I don't think so at this point, but things could change. Could always happen. But probably not."
DeChambeau acknowledged some frustration with the frequent taunts directed at him by fans, including shouts of "Brooksie" that have since been banned by the PGA Tour.
"No matter what, we’re all humans at the end of the day," DeChambeau said. "There’s obviously a level of control that any human will ever have, and you can have a lot of armor and you can protect yourself with the people around you.
"Sure sometimes it’s not comfortable and sometimes it fuels me. I think this week is going to be an amazing example of it, and it's going to be fun to be able to have the crowd behind us and pump them up and show them what I can hopefully do and what we can do as a team, more importantly."
DeChambeau also clarified that his hands are fine after a story emerged recently in which he said he had "wrecked" them during long-drive training. He said his hands were blistered and hurt before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which began in August.
