Ryder Cup 2025: Why Cameron Young is Bryson DeChambeau’s PERFECT Partner at Bethpage Black

Ryder Cup 2025 expert analysis reveals the ideal partner for Bryson DeChambeau at Bethpage Black!

Former PGA Tour winner Johnson Wagner explains why Cameron Young is the ONLY choice to team up with DeChambeau for Team USA. Despite DeChambeau’s struggles in foursomes format (0-2 record in 2018), Wagner believes Young’s steady play and shared golf ball choice make them unbeatable.

In this video, we break down:
• DeChambeau’s complete Ryder Cup record and foursomes struggles
• Why previous partnerships with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson failed
• Cameron Young’s breakthrough season and Titleist Pro V1x connection
• Expert predictions for Team USA pairings at Bethpage Black
• How this duo could dominate both foursomes and four-ball formats

DeChambeau returns to the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2021, having qualified automatically despite limited PGA Tour starts. The 2024 US Open champion needs the right partner to maximize his talents in the team formats.

Wagner’s reasoning is simple: Young can either match DeChambeau’s intensity or provide the steady presence needed for alternate shot success. Plus, both players now use the same Titleist prototype ball that helped Young win his first PGA Tour event.

The RDER Cup 2025 is shaping up to be an intriguing stage for Bryson Dshambo. And here’s the bold opinion that’s stirring up conversation. Johnson Wagner, a former PGA Tour winner turned golf analyst, insists there’s only one truly ideal partner for Dshambo in the upcoming showdown at Beth Page Black. This claim might raise some eyebrows, but it’s a fascinating insight worth unpacking. Bryson Dshambo, now 31 years old, will be making his third appearance for Team USA at the RDER Cup after an absence since 2021. This bienial event held this time from September 24th to 26 in New York always invites scrutiny over player pairings and strategies. Despite Dshambo’s undeniable skill and the fact that he recently claimed the 2024 US Open title, his RDER Cup performances have been a mixed bag. Across six matches, he’s faced defeat in half of them, raising questions about what’s holding him back on this unique and high pressure stage. And this is the part most people miss. Dashambo appears to struggle particularly in the forsomes format where two players alternate shots with the same ball. A format demanding harmony, patience and a shared rhythm. For instance, in 2018, Dambo and Phil Mickelson suffered a heavy 5 and4 loss to Sergio Garcia and Alex Norin at Legolf National in Paris. Similarly, paired with Tiger Woods that same year, Dashambo experienced another 5-4 defeat to the formidable duo Tommy Fleetwood and Franchesco Molinari. Contrast this with the 2021 RDER Cup where Dambo and Scotty Shuffler remained unbeaten in the fourball format, a format where each player plays their own ball and a team’s point is the better score of the two. It’s a subtle yet significant difference illustrating that while Dambo can thrive when sharing a scoreboard without alternating shots, he hasn’t yet conquered the alternate shot challenge. With American captain Zack Bradley expected to start the event using the Forsomes pairing, it would be eye-catching and some might say risky to sideline Dashambo completely. So the question arises, who can match Dshambo’s intensity and playing style to bring out the best in this volatile format? Johnson Wagner provides a clear answer on the five clubs podcast. Cameron Young. He argues that if team USA is fielding Bryson, they need a partner who is either completely steady or can match Bryson’s intense competitive fire. While Justin Thomas might be one of the few who can keep pace with Bryson’s fiery nature, Wagner believes Young’s calm and composed style, the so-called steady Eddie approach is a perfect counterbalance. One crucial detail that often gets overlooked is Bryson’s extremely particular golf ball choice. He uses a specialized titalist golf ball designed for his unique spin rates and launch angles, and he prefers not to deviate from that. Remarkably, Cameron Young recently won his first PGA Tour event, the Windham Championship, using a new Titalist Prov1X prototype ball after only a brief practice with it. This shared equipment preference could translate into a smoother partnership in the Forsomes format. Wagner’s prediction, Dambo and Young could be a powerhouse pairing difficult for opponents to beat, especially in best ball situations. But for the more demanding alternate shot format, the combination could unlock the consistency Brian needs. To put this in perspective, here’s a quick look at Dashambo’s Rder Cup record. 2018 Forsomes with Phil Mickelson lost 54 to Sergio Garcia. Alex Norin 2018 Forsomes with Tiger Woods lost 54 to Franchesco Molinari Tommy Fleetwood. 2018 singles lost one down to Alex Norin. 2021 fourball with Scotty Sheffller hved against John Rahm Tier Hatton. 2021 fourball with Scotty Sheffller won 3-1 against Victor Havland Tommy Fleetwood 2021 singles 3-2 against Sergio Garcia. While experts like Andy Roberts have speculated about all possible pairings for Bradley’s US team, as well as Luke Donald’s European side, Wagner’s endorsement of Young, stands out as an intriguing blueprint that could redefine Team USA’s strategy. And here’s a spicy twist. Brooks Kepka, a five-time major champion and Dshambo’s Rder Cup teammate in both 2018 and 2021, has been left off the 2025 squad after a disappointing season. Kepka’s struggles included missing cuts in three of the four majors and finishing low in the live golf standings. After missing the cut at the Masters, he admitted his confidence took a hit, but pushed back against theories, blaming his poor form on switching to the Live Golf League, which contrasts with the PGA Tour, where much of Ryder Cup history unfolds. Could this exclusion be seen as a controversial decision? With Kepka’s past RDER Cup experience and major wins, some fans and pundits might feel he still deserves a spot, especially against the backdrop of De Shambo’s challenging Rder Cup record. What do you think? Should confidence and recent form be the key deciding factor? Or does Ryder Cup experience outweigh a rough patch? The Rder Cup is never just about skill. It’s a mental and strategic chess game where partnerships, formats, and nerves come into play. Watching how Dashambo’s pairing with Cameron Young pans out might provide answers, or it might deepen the debate even further. Either way, the stage is set for a captivating contest that could challenge long-held assumptions about what makes winning teams tick. What’s your take on Vagner’s pick and the broader team choices?
