Keegan Bradley says first, you will look at your phone and see the call is coming from the captain. There is uncertainty, for sure, but it goes away quickly, as you can understand the tone. The call is also short. Then you hang.
From there, Bradley He said, he reacted in a way when he was told in the past that he did not make the US Ryder Cup team.
“I’m whispered,” he said.
And this is partly what the captain now shared with the top ranking player in the US team to avoid being chosen for the team going towards Bethpage Black next month. On Wednesday, Bradley with the name Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay AND Sam Burns While the six elections of his separate captain, but among those left over were Maverick Mcnealywhich was the 10th in the US ranking, which was under six automatic choices and Thomas, Morikawa and Griffin – but better than new, Cantlay and Burns.
After being specifically asked about McNealy, Bradley said the decision was difficult. Skiper called him incredible. He explained that the captain’s elections tend to favor Ryder Cup veterans instead of the first time like McNaaly.
He also told McNealy that it is good to get angry.
“I left these really angry calls the most,” Bradley said. “You can use this as a fuel.
“I said, please, please with me and do the other team. Do the President 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 after all it was a really difficult decision.”
Was Mcnealy the hardest solution to leave the team? Bradley would not say, nor did he find out how many players the calls he made. He said the calls were made after Championship Last week, and that each player handled the news “like pro”.
“Never know if you will ever get another blow to it,” Bradley said. “That might be – you never know, maybe these guys all play numerous glasses Ryder going forward, maybe they don’t, and as a player, I was certainly aware of this when I didn’t do the last team.
“It is heartbroken because when you approach you to make a UN Ryder Cup team, one of the most difficult teams to do in every sport in the world is devastating when you do not do it.”
Then it was the call he made – for himself.
Bradley was immediately down Mcnealy in the team’s ranking, and he will also not play. The call, he said, became “a short time ago”, though he said he still felt the effect.
“Yes, Monday was hard for me,” Bradley said. “I was just alongside the guys that didn’t make the team. I was moping around. I was bummed out. Ryder Cup Captain at Bethpage Black, where I showed up to st. John’s AS 18-YEAR-OLD KID WITH A DREAMING ON THE PGA Tour and Never Dreaming by being a captain of Ryder Cup and I must return to the same course as the captain of these boys representing our country, and this is more important.
“Again, I don’t care how it works, as long as we win on Sunday. I am very honored to be Ryder Cup captain. I think part of it has been a relief and I have to focus on this and enjoy these boys for the next month.”
Of course, not every call was sour.
Bradley said he liked to call Young and Griffin, who would play in their first Ryder cup. Burns, he said, showed emotions.
As for Cantlay, who tends to be, we will say, reserved?
“Pat gave me no emotion, which – but it was fine,” Bradley.
“I look forward to these calls for months.”
