After driving the ball 350yds off the tee, DeChambeau sent fans wild

Team USA posted footage of DeChambeau rousing his supporters and calling him the 'ultimate entertainer'.

The clip shows the 2020 US Open champion getting fans excited by Gilmore's "Bull Dance" from the film. After that, he launches T-Shirts into the crowd.

He lived up to his reputation as he drove his drive over 350 yards, just before reaching the green.

Captain Steve Stricker, despite his long-hitting success in the game of golf, overlooked him for Friday’s foursomes.

DeChambeau, who was competing in his second consecutive Ryder Cup, failed to win any point in any of his three matches in France three year ago.

After discussing his omission, Stricker said that DeChambeau would soon get his chance to shine.

He stated, "We're trying make sure everyone gets a bit of rest.

"He will get his turn at some point.

"These guys are able to plan and do everything for the benefit of the team.

Fans are divided on whether Stricker was right to bench him. One tweet said: "Among the four Americans sat out morning matches is Bryson deChambeau. Hmmmm."

One commentator on DeChambeau’s driving skills said: "The ultimate definition drive for show putt for done."

The other simply said, "No this was so cringeful I might root for EU."
