<p>FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- American golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler faced challenges during the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, further complicated when their caddies clashed with Europe's Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood during a four-ball match.</p>
<p>As Rose prepared to putt from 15 feet on the 15th hole, he noticed DeChambeau's caddie, Greg Bodine, standing too close to his line while re-reading the putt. Rose gestured for Bodine to move aside.</p>
<p>“I was waiting to putt, and I felt like they kept coming back,” Rose reflected. “I thought, ‘It’s my turn to putt, right?’” The Europeans were already leading by three, heightening the tension.</p>
<p>“I might not have communicated as politely as I could, but there was no disrespect intended,” Rose explained. Following his successful birdie putt, Rose directed his celebration towards DeChambeau and Bodine.</p>
<p>DeChambeau responded later by sinking an 11-foot birdie putt. As they left the green, he approached Rose, and they exchanged words. “If ‘excuse me, please’ was necessary, then I apologize,” Rose stated.</p>
<p>The heated exchange escalated to the 16th tee as other players and caddies joined the discussion. Fleetwood intervened to de-escalate tensions between Scheffler's caddie and European vice captain Francesco Molinari.</p>
<p>After Rose secured a 3-and-2 victory and the caddies shook hands, the situation appeared to settle. Rose hoped for resolution, expressing respect for Scheffler. “I believe there was no malice intended,” he noted. However, DeChambeau refrained from commenting post-match.</p>
<p>U.S. captain Keegan Bradley addressed the incident, emphasizing the passion involved in the competition and confirming that the players seemed fine afterward. Despite struggling, Scheffler highlighted their performance, acknowledging the effective play from their opponents. With a challenging week, Scheffler's record began to stand out, as he became the first American to lose matches in the first four Ryder Cup sessions.</p>
