Bryson DeChambeau’s stunning 58 at the Greenbrier has given US captain Zach Johnson a headache. But there were no such issues for The Slam podcast duo…

Thirteen birdies and a leap that would make Phil Mickelson proud. Bryson DeChambeau’s stunning 58 at the Greenbrier was genuinely historic – so few have managed the feat – but his maiden LIV Golf victory has got minds whirring at NCG Towers.

On this week’s The Slam podcast, Matt Coles and Steve Carroll, stepping in for Matt Chivers, look back at Bryson’s win and ask the question: Should he go to the Ryder Cup?

The answer is a definitive yes, and it won’t ease the headache for US skipper Zach Johnson. Let us explain why he has to be on the plane.

It’s also the final women’s major of the year as the AIG Women’s Open is staged at the wonderful Walton Heath. We preview the action and hand over our tips.

The Slam podcast is produced in association with Callaway Golf.

Should Bryson DeChambeau be part of the US Ryder Cup team? Let us know with a tweet.
