Welcome! Where are you, you ask. I’m calling it this weekend 9. Think of it as a place to warm you for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We will have thoughts. We will have tips. We will have tweets. But only nine at all, though sometimes perhaps more and sometimes perhaps less. How much for whom am I? The paragraphs below show some of the stories. I can reach nick.piastowski@golf.com.
All the words KEEGAN BRADLEY Said Wednesday during the press conference of his captain – about 10,000, according to the transcript – four struck me. Before he said, he stopped. After he said, he laughed.
“I’m glad it’s over.”

Was he serious? Or was he humorously? Did I like to choose six Americans for next month’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black? Or did he withdraw, telling other compatriots that they fell short? In this case, everyone is likely to be true. As is this: the decision is, in fact, on, which raises another question:
How would he do?
For me, three courses were covered Wednesday. Let’s try to appreciate them.
KEEGAN BRADLEY DON’T Choose Keegan Bradley
Why, according to Bradley: “I grew up wanting to play glasses ryder. I grew up wanting to fight with these boys. That broke my heart to not play. You really happened. You work forever to do these teams, but ultimately I chose to do a job.
Scale: Let’s call the decision a b-plus. Here were the other choices:
Keegan Bradley was robbed of his Ryder Cup dream. He has built a new
Dylan dethier
– He could have chosen himself and continued to be captain. This would have been a B. Say what you want for how important a captain is, there is still a timely commitment. More than likely, his subes would have grown. But the focus on his game would have suffered. Then again, as Wrote the Golf’s Sean Zak At the beginning of this week, seeing Keegan Bradley as a captain playing would have been a great theater.
– He could have chosen himself and delegating all the captain’s responsibilities to a deputy captain. This would have been an A. It facilitates the concern of the concentration of the game. You are also the captain, though only in the name.
– He could have rejected America’s PGA offer to be captain. This too would have been a B, though it would have definitely had to be decided last year. While the chance to lead Americans is extremely special, she also stopped the dream of playing. Here, I will tell you a story from Dylan dethier of Golf entitled: “KEEGAN BRADLEY was robbed by his dream Ryder Cup. He is built a new one,” and can be read here.
– After all, he chose Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay AND Sam Burns. I like the idea that motivates them, with their thoughts: If he chose me over himself, I must hand over. It’s safe game. In golf, this kind of thing can be appreciated.
The question is, who would have dropped Bradley from the players he chose? You can argue anyone outside Thomas, though it is difficult. Does Bradley choose themselves over Morikawa or Cantlay, who everyone has not won this year? Perhaps, but Morikawa is also one of the best ball attackers on the planet, and Cantlay is 5-2-1 in two appearances of Ryder Cup (and 10-4 over three cups of presidents). Does Bradley choose yourself over Griffin or Young, both newly newly Ryder Cup? Maybe, but Griffin has also won twice this year, and Young has been one of the hottest golf players last month. What about burns? I think Bradley’s choice was here, and he went with the PGA Tour leader this season in the strokes: setting.
KEEGAN BRADLEY also did not choose Maverick Mcnealy, Chris Gotterup and others
Bradley said when asked about McNealy: “Very, very difficult to call MAV. Incredible baby, played well all year long. I was very much ahead with boys who haven’t made the team before. You really need, in most cases, make the team at your first team. Really hard to get a choice in your first team.
I played with him a bunch this year. I am really impressed with his game. I told him it’s good to be angry. I left these really angry calls most of the time. You can use this as a fuel. I said, please get angry with me and make the other team. Make () the Cup of the Presidents. I used it as fuel most of my career, and I advised MAV to do the same. He made a great run to get this team, and ultimately this was a really tough decision. “
Snub of the highest rank Ryder Cup? KEEGAN BRADLEY gave advice
Nick pastowski
Scale: B-plus, given its options. I think Mcnealy, cogwheel AND Andrew Novak It can make a team Ryder Cup down the road, but the six players chosen are strong.
However, I wonder how the choices would look like Brooks koepka, Jordan Spieth, Will zalatoryis, Max Homa, Patrick reed, Our arguments AND Sahith Theegala were among the first 25 places in the point.
KEEGAN BRADLEY chose to play four, then with four balls on Friday and Saturday
Why, according to Bradley: “Yeah, so you look at the date, you look at your team, and you look at getting off to a good start is really important, and Most home teams will alternate shot first, a much tougher format. stats from the previous home, aways, what the home team did, what this team did wen they won, and you run a million different, and ultimately it was a very easy decision, this is what we came out of. “
Scale: B. Bradley looked safe here. The crowds are likely to be loud sooner and later, so they will help both with the survival of the “toughest format” at the beginning and keeping the moment in the afternoon. But if an experienced European resists early cheers during quadruple (alternative purpose), there may be questions.
Some other decisions, of course, are coming – such as eight (or more) items for weekend 9.

Keegan did a great job today and was as class as the king. He is leading for example and is showing why it is a great choice to lead this team. https://t.co/rwf8iqeisp

A golf story I saw interesting from Java
4. Did Young broke the news about Bradley’s player’s decision?
On Wednesday, after the election of each captain was announced, moderator Julius Mason asked each player some questions. And he had this exchange with young people as young people was the fourth choice:
Asked Mason: “cam, you said that one of your goals this year was to do the Ryder Cup team, and if you did, it would mean more for you than to win a golf tour. Why was it so important for you to do this team, and did you know any of your team members that you were in the Ryder Ryder Ryder 2014 Cup team in Scotland?”
Started young: “Yes, I think one of them can remember in particular. I know Sam was on that team with me. This is a fun memory to share.”
Sam? To that point, only Thomas, Morikawa and Griffin were named – and no Sams, which was seemingly a reference to Burns. So when Cantlay was announced as a post -Young choice, it can be assumed that Burns was the last choice – and that Bradley would not choose himself.
A pickup for the weekend
5. I liked this exchange between Jeeno thitikul and a reporter before this week Fm championshipwith the reporter’s questions in Italy:
Does anyone else feel the number 1 player in the world for you inside the ropes or outside the ropes?
“As I said earlier, I think I’m the same person,” said Thitikul, who is from Thailand. “Just a wise number that is-Golfi, ranking, statistics, they just build it. But I think-I just told the media boy that went up with me today, as I don’t think I’m good. I don’t think I’m so good.
“He’s just like, what are you just saying? I just like me, I think you especially tell me how humble I have to be off the rope, I think.”
When you say you don’t think you are so good, does that mean you are surprised by your victories?
“Just surprised by everything, surviving here in the LPGA. I’m just like so many players who were talent and then I just – I swear when I was young, I just thought to win a tour, only a LPGA tour would be enough for me.
“But to hear where I am now, I don’t know how I get it.”
