The Bryson DeChambeau vs. Brooks Koepka might be settled once and for all now after Koepka won the fifth edition of “The Match” on Friday afternoon.

Although four-time “The Match” participant turn commentator Phil Mickelson predicted that Koepka would take an early lead, but ultimately DeChambeau would win, Koepka proved Mickelson wrong. Koepka did start off strong going 1UP after two holes, so at least that part of the predicition was right.

Koepka then won Holes 5 and 6, along with Hole 8. He was then 4UP with four holes to play. After DeChambeau missed a birdie putt on Hole 9, “The Match” was officially over. DeChambeau did not win a single hole, and he didn’t have any birdies in today’s match. 

There wasn’t as much trash talking as viewers expected. This happened to be the first time DeChambeau and Koepka ever played together. The broadcast booth asked Koepka if he would do it again, and he said “Nope.” So, this might be the only time we see the two play with each other for a while, or ever.
