Bryson DeChambeau was buzzing after a final-round 64 at Royal Portrush on Sunday. High on his own supply after fighting back from a Thursday 78 to clinch a top-15 finish, DeChambeau turned his attention to this fall’s Ryder Cup. Deep behind enemy lines in Northern Ireland, the Crushers G.C. captain shot from the hip, blasting out a series of quotes that left little doubt about his commitment to the American cause. ATTENTION!

“Tsunami of noise.” Folks, this guy is cooking. DeChambeau walked off the course after seven birdies and no bogeys on Sunday, and a bunch of reporters with English accents shoved microphones in his face. He could have lied and said a bunch of boring stuff about how he’s looking forward to finishing the LIV season strong and hopefully making the Ryder Cup team. Instead, he was like yeah, we all know I’m already in the starting lineup.

In patented Bryson fashion, the quotes toe the line between genuinely inspiring and unbearably cringe. The whole “we’re tired of losing,” let’s-pretend-to-be-the-underdogs-so-we-can-hunt-not-be-hunted schtick is pretty transparent at this point. But that’s kind of the beauty of DeChambeau. For better and/or worse, he is transparent, and when he starts feeling himself and steers into that, it leads to fun WWE soundbites like this.

In addition to the cowboy bluster, DeChambeau also revealed that U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley left motivational messages in each potential player’s locker this week. He didn’t share what his said, but if Bryson keeps talking the talk and, more importantly, walking the walk like this, he may one day get to lead a Ryder Cup squad of his own.
