Phil and Cameron defeated Bryson and Anirban by 2 up. After the game, DeChambeau congratulated Mickelson.
"Phil enjoy being with you man. That was awesome. Congratulations," he said.
DeChambeau went on to claim that it was not a 0-1 tie because he had previously defeated Mickelson at The Match, a celebrity golf charity event. He also mentioned a rematch between them.
"It's now 1-1 by the way. It's not 0-1, it's 1-1. I beat him at The Match, he beat us here so we're gonna have a nice little rematch going. Hopefully the next couple weeks or the next tournament or whatever. But I can't tell you this is a lot of fun," Bryson added.
Bryson DeChambeau won the LIV Golf Greenbrier
DeChambeau won the first event on the Saudi circuit with a dominant performance at the 2023 LIV Golf Greenbrier. He won the event by six strokes with a round of 58 on Sunday, August 6.
On the 18th hole, the 2020 US Open champion sunk a 35-foot putt and leaped into the air to celebrate his incredible victory. It was one of his best performances.
DeChambeau told the media after winning the tournament:
"It's beyond words. I've been working so hard for a long time, and I knew something special was going to come at some point, I just didn't know when. ... Then today I just kind of felt everything clicking."
Bryson became emotional during the winner's press conference. He thanked his teammates and said:
"My team, the Crushers, baby … Charles [Howell III], ‘Ban’ [Anirban Lahiri] and Paul [Casey] … everyone … they mean the world to me. That I'm able to share this moment with them is a lot better [than an individual win].”
Six-time Major champion Phil Mickelson also appreciated the 29-year-old golfer on his incredible win.
"Incredible round by Bryson. 58😳 What a weekend and win for him. He stole my jump though. Not cool. Proud of his resolve after Cameron and I gave him a thumping Wednesday," he wrote on Twitter.
What a weekend and win for him.
