Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and the fight everyone wants to see

It says something about the state of modern golf that the most important story heading into the U.S. Open was ... the tee times.

Specifically, would the USGA pair Bryson DeChambeau, the swollen scientist, with Brooks Koepka, the jock who looks like he'd be entirely at ease stuffing his competition into lockers?

Sadly for those who like drama, storylines and the possibility of actual fistfights on the cliffs of Torrey Pines, the answer was no; the two will tee off at diametrically opposite times. The USGA has, in the past, entertained itself with its groupings, some of which have been in questionable taste, so why not pair golf's current feuding duo?
