Bryson DeChambeau on Brooks Koepka feud: 'jesting rivalry is good for the game'

Bryson DeChambeau was in the Motor City on Monday to promote the Rocket Mortgage Classic, which he's the defending champion of. But no matter where he goes, he can't escape the Brooks Koepka feud.

DeChambeau reluctantly commented on the quarrel to the media at Detroit Golf Club saying he has no problem with Koepka and that a rivalry is good for the game of golf.

“I think a good jesting rivalry is good for the game of golf, nothing too extreme,” DeChambeau said at the Rocket Mortgage Classic's media day. “But at the same point and time that’s all outside of the spectrum of what we’re here for today, and I think the most important thing is to be talking about what Rocket Mortgage is doing for the 313 area and I think the change the course initiative is something that’s bigger than the game of golf, compared to a rivalry.
