Paul Casey didn’t hold back his thoughts on Bryson DeChambeau‘s absence during the Crushers GC’s post-tournament press conference in Hong Kong. Despite narrowly missing out on the individual title, Casey led his team to another victory, but found himself alone at the press conference, with DeChambeau and other teammates missing. “My team is awesome. Even though they’re not here; they’ve all deserted me,” Casey remarked, expressing disappointment at the absence of his fellow team members.
