Bryson DeChambeau, captain of the Crushers GC team, had a serious task in the semi-finals. Namely, his team had Brooks Koepka's team Smash across the street, aware that they could run into problems.
However, one controversial decision by Bryson DeChambeau caused reactions from the public, but the reaction from Brooks Koepka.
Namely, the 31-year-old golfer decided not to play against Koepka, but chose Talor Gooch for such a task.
Koepka had an interesting reaction, a bit surprised.
He called his rival crazy cat.
While the public wondered what was going on, Bryson revealed the reasons for his decision at the press conference after the match.
Namely, the American golfer is delighted with Talor Goch's game, stressing that he is in great shape and that he is a golfer who can really match any opponent.

He is impressed by Gooch's ethics and fighting spirit.
Talor responded in the right way, being really brilliant in some moments.
Talors playing some good golf, really good golf, and I felt like Baan would be great for Brooks today. Look, I could have gone up against him. Brooks is a great fighter, and I would have loved to have played against him, but I felt like from a matchup perspective Talor was going to be a more difficult force today. He shot 6-under today. I shot 7 and barely scraped by on the last to clip him.
Hes a grinder and a fighter, and I know hes a battler. Hats off to Gooch for his play. Its tough to play against him. Hes a great wedger, a great putter. I was scared all day for sure.- he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.

Will this create a rivalry?
It can be said that there is a rivalry between Brooks Koepka and Bryson de Chambeau, which they have shown many times during their appearances at LIV Golf.
Looking at his performance at the Majors, Brooks has the edge over Bryson, however, it is important to point out that Bryson de Chambeau has more room to improve since he has played significantly fewer Majors than Brooks.
Perhaps this very moment creates a rivalry between these two golfers who could have interesting clashes on the golf courses in the future.
