A little miscommunication during an intense contest can turn into an ugly altercation. And fans got a glimpse of it on the 15th hole at Bethpage today. Justin Rose & Tommy Fleetwood were having a healthy competition with Bryson DeChambeau & Scottie Scheffler. While the European duo were winning, the two groups still remained cordial for most of their match. That was until Rose & DeChambeau crossed paths on the 15th green.
As Justin explained in the post-match interview, he inquired if it was his turn to take the putt. However, DeChambeau thought it was a bit too invasive and started to hit back at the Englishman. Eventually, the two groups tied the hole with the LIV Golf pro putting to continue the match. But soon after it ended, they started arguing about the confrontation from earlier as they walked towards the 16th hole. That started a heated debate between DeChambeau & Fleetwood.

Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, also got involved in the conversation. He also pushed Team Europe vice captain, Francesco Molinari, and tried to get in his face. But the Italian veteran didn’t pay any heed to Scott as he walked on. The entire episode was tweeted by NUCLR Golf and other media houses. Kyle Porter was also shocked by the way Scheffler’s caddie behaved as he tweeted, “Ted Scott is ALL OVER Francesco Molinari!” with pictures from the incident.
