After their last win at the Ryder Cup, Team US will be stepping in Marco Simone this Friday full of confidence. As they are ready for another win the team players are also engaged in a fun banter. Brooks Koepka who is one of the star players this year is already receiving much limelight ahead of the event.

And Koepka gained even much more attention after he debuted a new look ahead of the tournament. However, there’s another player on the team who is giving Brooks tough competition when it comes to hairstyle.

Last week as the fans were desperately waiting for Koepka to show his might in Rome, he surprised them with a completely unexpected new look. As he participated in the LIV Chicago event he debuted a mullet which he got done especially for the Ryder Cup. He even shared a transition video for fans.

However, there is another person on the team who too was inspired by the Ryder Cup. Sam Burns too debuted his mullet on the internet. And he even added a special touch to it. On the right side of his head, he had the words USA trimmed on his scalp. Now both the players are in a competition of who looks better.

Yesterday Koepka was asked about it at the presser and he answered “Yeah, Sam has got a nice Kentucky waterfall going. It’s pretty solid, although the USA that’s inscribed in the side of his head, I don’t know if he was doing that looking in a mirror because it’s not — USA doesn’t look the best, but it makes it even better.” He added, “I think. It definitely classes it up a little bit.” Looks like Koepka and Burns both want to win the best mullet contest. Though Burns faced some trolling after his new look.

After the PGA Tour shared the new look of Burns on Twitter it did not sit well with many fans. While Burns got many suggestions to fire his barber, one fan broke his heart by saying that Cameron Smith could pull off the mullet but not Burns. One person even went to the extent of saying that it is the worst haircut on the Tour. However, Burns did not respond to any of these.
