Fully understand if Bryson wants to keep hitting it 40 past me tomorrow so we don’t have to chat.

While Ashen Wu leads Victor Perez, arguably the least known top player at the moment, the 2020 Omega Dubai Desert Classic’s real intrigue may be in the third-to-last group.

This unbylined Sky story sets up the backstory between Eddie Pepperell and Bryson DeChambeau, who will be paired together for the first time since a Twitter/slow play manspat last August. Though Pepperell apologized and has tried to diffuse the tension with a fun Tweet today, things still should be fun out there in the desert!

Golf Channel coverage begins at 3:30 am ET.
