BREAKING: Keegan Bradley Leaves Himself Off U.S. Ryder Cup Team
New England native Keegan Bradley did not pick himself to be on the U.S. Ryder Cup Team, he announced Wednesday.
Bradley was 11th on the Ryder Cup points list heading into Wednesday’s announcement.
“The decision was made awhile ago that I wasn’t playing. The last 48 hours we had the team set so there was no decision at all. There was a time earlier in the season that I was playing, but all these guys played themselves onto the team,” said Bradley on Wednesday.
Bradley would have been the first playing captain of the Ryder Cup since Arnold Palmer in 1963.
“I grew up wanting to play Ryder Cups. I grew up wanting to fight alongside these guys and it broke my heart not to play. It really did… but ultimately I was chosen to do a job. I was chosen to be a captain,” added Bradley.
The Captain’s Picks are as follows:
Justin Thomas
Collin Morikawa
Ben Griffin
Cam Young
Patrick Cantlay
Sam Burns
