The GOLF.com headline read as such: Leaked Brooks Koepka interview recharges Koepka-DeChambeau rivalry.
Consider this, then, Brooks and Bryson Unplugged.
On Monday, a previously unseen video showing Koepka’s displeasure with DeChambeau during a Golf Channel interview worked its way online. On Thursday, it was put into song. Sam Harrop, who has written numerous other golf-themed parodies (which you should check out here), penned and sung one for the Brooks-Bryson beef.
To the tune of the Backstreet Boys’ ’90s hit As Long As You Love Me.
“The people asked, so I did the honourable thing and produced a song to go with golf’s biggest storyline, Brooks vs Bryson,” Harrop tweeted. “They say there’s a thin line between love and hate, right?”
If you weren’t among the millions who viewed the since-taken-down video, a recap: After the second round of last week’s PGA Championship, Koepka began answering a question, when 22 seconds into the 45-second video, DeChambeau walked by. Koepka shut his eyes for a couple of seconds, rolled them, shut them again, then unloaded, the latest addition in their drama.
Although pettiness has often been a friend of mine You’re playing right into my hands Just the thought of you has got me rolling my eyes Don’t make me mention the ants
How we ended up here is a mystery But one of us is going down in history The other belongs in a lab I don’t care who you are Where you’re from Those workout vids It’s clear that you love me Who you are Where you’re from Bring on the tweets The PIP’s gonna love me
Forget this match with Mickelson Let’s play some skins Those NFL guys can step aside Just remember what’s important And that’s major wins And you’re lagging three behind
I don’t care who you are Where you’re from I saw your fleet It’s clear that you love me Who you are Where you’re from You leaked that vid Admit it, you love me
As of Friday afternoon, the tweet of the song had over 200 comments and 5,200 likes. And 1,100 retweets, including one from Koepka.
“It’s a hit,” he wrote above the video, adding a 100 emoji.
