The much anticipated truce between Bryson Dashambo and Brooks Kepka didn’t last long heading into the LIV team championship semi-finals in Michigan. The rivalry flared once again, this time over a lineup decision that left fans hoping for a head-to-head showdown disappointed. Instead of matching up directly against Kepka, Dashambo opted for strategy with his Crushers GC team. In the post-match press conference, he explained his choice. Tyler’s playing some really good golf and I felt like Bon would be a great fit for Brooks today. Sure, I could have gone up against him. Brooks is a great fighter and I would have loved that matchup, but from a team perspective, Tyler was the tougher out. Dashambo wasn’t wrong. Tyler Guj has enjoyed a resurgence this season, climbing to number six in the standings, while Keepa lags at number 31. Though fans craved a Dashambo Kepka clash, the strategic decision paid off. Crushers GC edged Smash GC in a thrilling 2 to1 victory advancing to the finals. The highlight of the semi-final was the singles match between Dambo and Gu. Both players were locked in all afternoon and by the 18th TE the match was all square. With the championship on the line, Dambo calmly sank an 8-foot birdie putt to secure the win. He shot six under today. I shot seven and barely scraped by on the last to clip him, the Shambo said afterward. He’s a grinder and a fighter. Hats off to Gu for his play. It’s tough to play against him. He’s a great wedger, a great putter. I was scared all day for sure. Dashambo’s lineup choices made sense strategically. Sitting at number three in the individual standings, he paired Anirbun Lihiri, ranked 25th, against Kepka, balancing the matchups and prioritizing team success over personal rivalry. Kepka unsurprisingly questioned the decision, calling Dashambo a strange cat and saying he beats his own drum, reigniting the longtime feud. Kekka attempted to regain control in his singles match against Lihiri by using the pace of play clock to dictate rhythm. I could get more holes in at my pace than I could if we got on the clock early. I think it took us five holes. It wasn’t long, but I felt like we could play the rest of the holes at my pace. He explained to Shambo meanwhile took the rivalry in stride. We’re trying to have a good time. We’re trying to win, right? We want to beat them and I felt like that gave us the best opportunity, he said, emphasizing team focus over personal vendetta. With the semi-final behind them, Crushers GC now face the finals where the format shifts from match play to stroke play, meaning one poor performance can impact the entire team. Legion 13 enters as favorites, boasting John Rom, Trell Hatton, and rising stars like Caleb Serat and Tom McKibben. Rahm’s recent 11 under 60 at Indianapolis is a stark reminder of how quickly momentum can shift. Crushers GC, however, are battle tested. The 2023 team championship winners featured Desambo’s nerves of steel moment on 18 alongside proven stroke play performers on your bunhiri Paul Casey and Charles Howell 3. The wild card stinger GC they’ve consistently punched above their weight all postseason upsetting higher seated teams like Sergio Garcia and Wae Neman. Lewis Ustasen has been on fire with the putter and one clutch performance could turn the final on its head. In this championship, a single misstep could decide the trophy. Dot.
