KEEGAN BRADLEY Inspirational Message for Ryder Ryder Cup team? Is personal

Napa, Calif.-Ora read 1:30 in the afternoon, which was a little lunch, and the players had been on the course for about three hours already, which is a little tall for a practical round of nine holes, so Scott Vail could have said that Rra Bunker was in the menu, and his boss’s appetite would have been approved.

But when Vail told him Silverado Resort, in fact, burgerdogs, which are even larger than they sound, KEEGAN BRADLEY He said only two words about his long cadet.

“Doooo them?”

Last Tuesday, from a food truck parked near the green practice, they did. Bradley waited in line for Hamburger’s hot dog conclusion. Even the players did. IN Championship10 of them had used the week as a PGA Tour tour and a tuning for next week’s ryder Cup Bethpage Black In Long Island, NY everything had been one of Bradley’s biggest movements as captain. In the last Cup of Ryder two years ago, only three of the 12 Americans played in two-week lead, compared to all dozens of their European counterparts, and the euro rolled, 16.5-11.5. This year in Napa, then, Americans played. One of them, Scottie Schefflerwon. Another, Ben griffinthe competitor finished.

They also burgerdogged.

As is often the case with captains, coaches and commanders, there is a matter of motivation. How do you create the purchase? In the Ryder Cup, this is more difficult. Golf is an individual pursuit, and it is not. Getting players to run across a club wall is not easy. There are means to do this, of course. Playing for the country. Playing for teammates.

For Bradley, it’s partly so.

In 2012, he played in his first Cup Ryder. The Americans were lost in what is known as the miracle in Medinah, after a 8.5-3.5 European Walloping in Sunday bachelors in Medinah CC in Illinois. Things were emotional. Two years later, Bradley played again. Americans lost again. Things were again exciting. Then, in Gleneagles in Scotland, the loss of Bradley’s Sunday single to Jamie Donaldson was the decisive point in a 16.5-11.5 euro victory. But Bradley has never played since then. Two years ago, he was near, but was overlooked for the team, with the selection of news unforgettable in Netflix’s “Full Swing” show. This year, with a chance to choose himself, he chose only for the captain. Eleven years ago, Bradley could have believed he would be a cup anchor for the next decade. But golf is not linear.

So for his team of a dozen, Bradley’s message is personal.

I use as much as possible.

Game. Team. Burgerdogs. All this.

“I think as a kid in sports, you are always wanting that team atmosphere,” Bradley said. “With golf, we never get it. When you are playing for your country in every sport, it enhances all this. I think of us, we really only get once a year to do it.

“When you’re part of it,” said Bradley, “Indeed, it changes you forever, it really does. Changes the way you prepared Jj spaun To do Scottie Scheffler and all of a sudden we are all in the same team here. Really really such a special feeling to be part of because it is so rare.

“What I’ve also said to the team is that you never know when it’s your last Ryder Cup. My latest Ryder Cup was the crucial point with Jamie Donaldson and I certainly didn’t think it was my last goal in a Ryder cup. You really want to enjoy every second of these because you never know when it was done.”

How did the team respond to that message?

“They get it because we’ve got – you know, at one point this will end up for all of us,” Bradley said. “Will end up for Scottie. I tell those who ended up for Jack nicklausBoys like him, the best player, one of the players of Mount Rushim ever. You need to enjoy these moments because you never know when it’s done.

“Never know when it’s your last dinner like last night, never know when it’s your last time hanging in the team’s room with boys, so you have to feed every second.”

Is the thought new? In any way. Eminem even once withdrew for this in “lose yourself”. (“You better lose yourself in music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it go. (Go)

You only get a shot, don’t miss your chance to blow up. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo. “) But is the idea a way to play with your driver on fire, so say? Potential.

At least has been heard.

Last Thursday, after the first round of the process event, Griffin was asked what was the best moment of a team dinner two days ago. Was held in a rental house near the resort. The slap -style food was served. Summer was available. It was a pleasure, said the first time of the US Ryder Cup.

But he left remembering what Bradley said to the room:

Don’t get those burgerdogs you had for lunch as good.

“You know, one of the most delightful things, not the most delightful, but one thing that Keegan rose is that you just don’t know how many cups Ryder you will play,” said Griffin, “just soak in all the moments you have with these boys, to dive into the fact that you are one of the best American players, and you really embrace each other.

“I mean, we have our talks to stay competitive and what we are trying to do in Bethpage, but I would say that the most important message was simply to have fun with each other.”
