Tom Watson warns Keegan Bradley for the Big Ryder Cup error

Just a few hours away KEEGAN BRADLEY’S his announcement Ryder Cup selectionsFormer captain and golf legend Tom Watson has a major warning for the 2025 US leader.

In one interview TimesWatson, a twice captain of Ryder Cup Ryder, forcibly advised Bradley to choose himself as the choice of captain on Wednesday, saying, “You can’t do it.”

Story of the captain of Watson Ryder Ryder Cup

Watson is not just one of the biggest American players ever if he is one of the biggest players in history. The full stop.

Watson captured eight major championships during his career, including five open championship wins that he almost made six as a 59-year-old in 2009 Open.

But he also has a rich experience playing and capturing US Ryder Cup teams. In 1993 at the age of 44, Watson captured the US team in a 15-13 win over Europeans at Belfry, England.

His 1993 captain was not a surprise, but his second stay at the helm was a true shock. Watson was marked to return as the American captain for the 2014 Ryder Cup at the age of 65, becoming the oldest captain in history.

But the 2014 event became a disaster. Europe easily defeated the US team 16.5-11.5. Watson was heavily criticized for his mistakes as captain that year, including by team members Phil Mickelson During the press conference after the tournament.

It was the controversy of the captain who inspired the American side to fix their system for selecting Ryder Cup captains.

What do Watson think about Bradley’s Ryder Cup decision

In another turn, the 2014 event was the only Ryder Cup event in which Bradley competed as a player, going 1-2-0.

And based on Watson’s comments this week to TimesHe thinks that 2014 should remain the only Ryder Cup Bradley has played.

In the interview, Watson argued that being a captain playing was essentially impossible, using his experience in the 1993 Ryder Cup as an example.

“I couldn’t have been a player captain and the reason is very simply planning,” Watson said Times“Because the captain must have his couples for afternoon matches by 11am”

He went on, “the last two morning games are going on for sure and you want to have the breadth of saying that this player is not playing well. For example, in 1993, Paul Azinger was blown up in his first match and I thought,” I will sit Paul and allow him to recover. ” been. “

If his view was not so clear, Watson tied him to the end, saying, “You can’t do it. You can’t be both (captain and player).”

Watson is just the latest warning Bradley has made about his monumental decision over the past year. It was clear to everyone from the moment Bradley was announced as the 2025 captain that this dilemma could arise.

And Bradley is aware of the controversy that will explode no matter which way you choose, As it explained in last week’s Tour championship.

“You worry that people maybe my part will say, if you don’t win, this was a mistake. That was self-industry. I’m very well aware of this. No matter what decision I make, I’ll be determined by this decision,” Bradley said in East Lake. “If we win, it doesn’t matter what decision I make. But every captain has to make really difficult decisions. This is just a really unique decision. I think it’s just because of my age. If Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson or Jim Furyk was named Captain my age, they would have to do so. I don’t know. “

But the only person whose opinion is now important is Captain Bradley. The US captain of 2025 will reveal his elections Wednesday at 11am.
