Caddy challenges Ryder Cup captains with unique ideas

After years Hype, Ryder Cup 2025 Reaches the next Friday, September 26, 26IN Bethpage Black. The event ends on Sunday, and a well-known TV analyst returned by Caddie thinks Ryder Cup captains should clash to complete the celebrations with a non-traditional noise.

That analyst, former -phil Mickelson Caddy long Jim “Bones” MackayHe shared his idea on Wednesday, predicting that if the captains were to follow, they would “tradition” and “overthrow the house”.

Jim “Bones” Mackay swims the end of the tradition in Ryder Cup

While Mackay is directly included with many Ryder cups in Mickelson’s bag, it was also made for Justin Thomas in Ryder 2023 in Rome.

This year, however, Mackay will not be in the American team room in Bethpage Black. On the contrary, he will walk in the right roads in his role as a reporter of NBC Sports in the course.

On Wednesday, NBC held a Conference Call for NBC Sports Ryder Cup team. All five NBC’s crew members Ryder Cup TV – Dan Hicks, Brad Faxon, Paul McGinley, Smylie Kaufman and Mackay – participated.

Each offered some opening remarks before the questions began, and that is when Mackay, speaking in fourth place, cast his big idea for Ryder Cup on Sunday.

After stating his excitement for the tournament, which he called “my favorite event … all over sports”, Mackay used his time to discover that his dream would be for the captains of Ryder Cup KEEGAN BRADLEY AND Luke Donald To gather and match the world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler Against the world no. 2 Rory Mcilroy in Sunday’s bachelors’ matches.

“And all I will say is that I think if it’s not already said, I would like if things look really close while we go on Sunday, if the two captains, Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald, who are close friends, can find 60 seconds for themselves and for the good of the game, maybe find a way to see Rory (Mcilroy) They played each other on Sunday, Sunday, “Mackay, Mackay.

Mackay went on arguing that if the captains bought in his idea, he would receive excitement and interest levels to another level.

“I think in a narrow Ryder cup that would essentially overthrow the house in terms of excitement everyone looks around the game there Sunday, and of course, a close competition,” Mackay said.

Why would this ‘Tradition’ in Ryder Cup

So what is so unique about the idea of ​​Mackay’s Sunday bachelors? It comes down to how Sunday bachelors are set at Ryder Cups.

After the second session of matches on Ryder Cup on Saturday, the captains make final decisions that when their respective players will compete in Sunday bachelors. All 12 players in each team have to play a single match, so ultimately the captains are deciding what order they will play on Sunday.

But there is an important wrinkle for this process that affects Mackay’s idea: Capans do not choose Sunday matches together. Instead, they choose their teams’ orders in a private way without knowing what the other captain is doing.

For example, Donald may decide that he wants to start on Sunday on his right foot with his best player, Mcilroy, playing in the first match. But Bradley would not be secretive for that decision. Instead, Bradley can decide that he wants his best player, Scheffler, block the last match in the event that the result becomes close. In that case, Mcilroy and Scheffler would play on the opposite ends of the Tee sheet.

For the two best players to play each other on Sunday, Donald and Bradley should put them in the same blind match.

This if Donald and Bradley got Mackay’s advice and ruined this rule by meeting and planning the matches together.

“I think it would be really cute if they could find a way and the buck tradition and see those boys play each other,” Mackay said.

RORY MCILLROY-MACKay Ryder Cup controversy

As Mackay noted in his opening speech, he has been in every Ryder cup “inside the ropes since 1993”, most of the time as Mickelson’s Caddy.

But the 2023 Ryder Cup arrived at a time when Mackay was temporarily holding US Ryder Cup Moinstay Justin Thomas bag. So Mackay was inserted in the middle of the largest controversy from the last Ryder Cup.

At the end of Saturday’s matches, Rory Mcilroy, other European team members, Patrick Cantlay, and Caddy Joe Lacava of Cantlay, went into a dust in the course when a HAT holiday shaking from the American team captured Mcilroy.

The dispute was also spread by the course. Later that night, mcilroy Was included in a parking shouting match with someone on the American team. In an incident video, Mackay can be seen trying and failing to calm mcilroy down.

Eventually, Shane Lowry had to keep Mcilroy again from the escalation of the appointment, forcing it in a car with pending courtesy.
