Keegan Bradley is expected to be selected as Ryder Cup Wildcard on Wednesday, although it is warned that it would be “the worst decision that was ever made by a captain”.
Sources indicate that this would now make a considerable shock if he did not say that he has been the first captain for 62 years.

Since he took seventh place at the tour championship on Sunday, the 39-year-old has advised him about his vice captains and apparently pushed a man to a man who asked them to attract both the spikes and earphones.
The news would be widespread in the European ranks, especially under sections of the former blue-gold captains. Last week Sam Torrance said the prospect of “the worst decision”, while Sir Nick Faldo said: “I said Keegan on his face that he shouldn’t do it, but here we have to hope that he does.”
Donald Trump, who will take part in the Ryder Cup opening day on September 26, threw his weight behind Keegan on Sunday and named himself as a wild card.
The US President wrote about truth society social: “Keegan Bradley should definitely be in the American Ryder Cup team -as a captain !!!”

Bradley will introduce the six picks at 4 p.m. BST in Frisco, Texas, at the PGA of America’s headquarters, and many believe that it is the association to bring Bradley to this position. The PGAA selected Bradley as an appointment for the left field after continued to wait and finally rejected by Tiger Woods.

At that time, Bradley was a top 40 player in the world and trented up clearly. First of all, Bradley insisted that he would only play if he was one of the top Sechs in the US ratings that automatically qualified, but after winning in Chicago last year and then won two months ago in Connecticut in Connecticut, he changed the story.
Fairyly, he jumped at the top of the world no. 11 in his 14 months and is the sieve -highest American in the ranking. There is no doubt that he is worth playing, but the problem is at the same time. As a result, Patriot quickly rejected the idea that he would perform, but instead Bradley made stocks for a vice captain to take on the role when he plays in one session.

It was always the case that only the captains could interact with the professionals while playing, and this is particularly useful if they advise on the selection of clubs and receive information about the form and ways of thinking of the individuals.
A few months ago, Luke Donald, the captain of Europe, agreed to draw a change to the Captain Treaty, which enables a defined assistant to file a temporary indictment when Bradley plays in a certain session.
Donald is a polite character, but it goes without saying that his generosity was also influenced by the conviction of Europe that Bradley was able to backfire the dual-Rolen fulfillment that was recently fulfilled by Arnold Palmer in 1963.
“There is too much work that responds to it. I saw what Luke did through the preparation for Rome [in 2023]”, Said Rory Mcilroy when Bradley was appointed.” There is no way to be as good as a captain as you have to be and also to be a playful captain. So it is one or the other, especially when the Ryder Cup has become. Keegan has a great chance of doing the team, and if he does it, he has to give one of the vice captains this role of captain. “

It doesn’t seem. And what could make this announcement even more controversial is whoever judged to accommodate himself.
There was a whisper that Ben Griffin could be overlooked, and the 29-year-old would be impressively consistently consistently consistently consistently consistently consistent after a breakout season in which he was impressively consistent and in which he was also an individual title of the Zurich, the only event of the tour, and the other wildcard hopeful. Collin Morikawa, the world No. 8, is another one who could be vulnerable after four months of mediocrity. In fact, only Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay seem to be safe from the candidates.
“There will probably be a few people who think that they will be in a team that won’t be and I feel for them,” said Bradley on Sunday. “You know, there is nothing we can do except to try to set what we think of the best team on the course. The only thing that interests me on Sunday of the Ryder Cup is that we will win. Then I will know if I have made the right decision.”
Bradley could be right. But he should know that the hail of criticism could begin so much earlier. Like on Wednesday.
