Things are getting chippy late on Saturday at the Ryder Cup.
The United States entered the Saturday afternoon session of four-balls trailing Europe 8½ to 3½. At the time of this writing, the Americans are trailing all four afternoon sessions. If the results hold, Europe would only need 1½ points on Sunday to reach the 14 points needed to retain the Ryder Cup.
So it makes sense that tensions are beginning to boil over for the Americans. As the players walked off the 15th green, Justin Rose appeared to have words for Bryson DeChambeau's caddie, Greg Bodine. It may have stemmed from this moment on the green, where it appeared Bodine inadvertently stepped in Rose's line.
Looks like this is was Justin Rose was pissed at Bryson DeChambeau’s caddie Greg Bodine about.

“I was waiting to putt," Rose explained after the match on the NBC broadcast. "The boys were obviously working on their read, going through a lot of their calculations and bits and pieces. I waited a few seconds. And then I felt like they came up again, and I questioned, ‘It’s my putt, right?’ Or however I said it. Maybe I didn’t say it as politely as I could’ve said it in the moment. By no means was there any disrespect, but obviously it was taken the wrong way.”
DeChambeau, who walked off the 15th green alongside World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler three down in their match against Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, didn't appear to appreciate Rose confronting Bodine.
It’s starting to get nasty. Bryson, Rose, and Fleetwood are going at it.

In a Ryder Cup that has been such a romp that it has lacked the traditional drama, the spat between DeChambeau, Rose and company was much needed.
Long live the Ryder Cup.
