Kegan Bradley is the main topic in golf circles, and hour by hour we get new information about him and the Ryder Cup team. The public has interesting comments and predictions about him.
As the public speculated about his decisions before he confirmed the final roster yesterday, many wondered if Bradley would choose himself as a player.
Famous faces of the golf scene gave interesting comments, and Rory McIlroy, the main player of the European team, caused a real storm.
In an interview with the media, the Northern Irish golfer pointed out that, if Bradley decides to be a captain-player, it would be a really difficult and probably impossible task.
At the press conference, after finally confirming the names that will represent the US team, Keegan Bradley reacted to these comments.
The captain of the American team is a bit skeptical about Rory's statements, stressing that Rory cannot give a precise answer considering that no one has played a double role for years.
Bradley, on the other hand, does not want to analyze the opponent's comments in depth, stressing that his focus is solely on the American team.
"I just am not worried at all about what they do or say. I care about our team. I'm not quite sure how he would know if it's not possible. No one has ever done it really. I said through this process I wish I could call Arnold Palmer and get his advice. The simple fact is the Ryder Cup is a completely different animal than it was in the '60s. Even that would be difficult.
They can make comments on what I can and cannot do. No one would have known. I was confident that if I did need to play, I had incredible vice captains that I could lean on, an incredible team I could lean on. But I've said through this process over and over and over, I was going to do what I thought was best for the team, and this was the decision that I thought was best.."- he said.
Reactions
Perhaps such comments from an experienced golfer motivate the American team even more and awaken an even greater desire to win. Rory McIlroy helped the European team win the trophy two years ago at the Ryder Cup.
His statements did not meet with positive reactions in the American public, and it will be interesting to see how they will react to his first performance at Bethpage Black.
