US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau said his ongoing feud with Brooks Koepka might be something for the PGA Tour to handle if it escalates further, adding his representative has already spoken to officials.

The bad blood between the pair has largely played out online but intensified at the Memorial Tournament on Friday when fans were removed from Dublin, Ohio’s Muirfield Village for heckling DeChambeau with his rival’s nickname “Brooksy.”

Koepka, who is not competing this week, said in a video on Twitter that he would offer 50 cases of free beer to any fan whose time was “cut short” at the tournament.

Asked if he was surprised at how the matter had escalated, DeChambeau told reporters: “Yeah, I think that’s something the Tour needs to handle, it’s something I can’t control.

“I tried to take the high road numerous times and I think, from my perspective, I’ll continue to keep doing so and people are going to do what they want to do. So it is what it is.”
