Tranlate this title Keegan Bradley reveals what he told US players about Europe after Ryder Cup defeat in spanish

Keegan Bradley was disappointed after the last Ryder Cup when his team suffered a heavy defeat.

Although, mostly thanks to the home crowd support, most expected the home team to win, last year’s edition brought a completely different scenario.

The Europeans started furiously, played brilliantly in the first few days and, although they experienced a crisis period during the final day, managed to defeat the US team.

Immediately after the defeat, criticism began to be directed at Keegan Bradley, the captain of the American team, who showed commitment, courage and willingness to take on such challenges. 

The American golfers knew that a possible defeat would produce a lot of negative reactions, but they still wanted to embark on such an adventure with the desire to help the US team.

Speaking on Sky Sports after the final round of the RBC Heritage, Keegan Bradley shared his thoughts on the last Ryder Cup, as well as whether he would like to captain or be part of a Ryder Cup team again. 

He pointed out that he has great respect for the Europeans, and described their performance as probably one of the best performances by a sports team. He also told the American golfers after the Europeans’ victory that it was impressive.

“I would love that,“ he replied.

“You know, and I really I have the most most respect for the European team.

I had a front row seat and I told the guys this, I think it’s one of the greatest sporting performances by a team ever, especially the first two days.

I couldn’t believe it. I was waiting for them to miss a putt, but they wouldn’t do it.

But, you know, I would love to play on another team, be a part of a team. We’ll see.“

The latest defeat further strengthened the motivation of Keegan Bradley to try to take revenge against the Europeans in the next Ryder Cup. The American team was made up of quality golfers like Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and many others, but the European team showed unity and harmony in key moments.

The Europeans thus won for the second time and in the next edition in Europe (Adare Manor) they will be much more relieved. For several months, there has been speculation about the eventual appointment of Tiger Woods as the captain of the American team, but after his accident, those chances have been reduced and now there are talks about other candidates.

Keegan Bradley would love to step into that role again, but the chances of his new captaincy are slim.

The PGA will have to think carefully, taking into account the goals and the person who can be a leader not only in terms of game but also in terms of human qualities. It is important that the US team finds a mentally strong leader who knows how to handle pressure.

The 39-year-old golfer revealed that his defeat at Bethpage Black still hurts and is certainly one of the most difficult moments of his life. Keegan Bradley reminds us how thin the line is between victory and defeat – with victory you get honors for life, and with defeat you get completely different epithets.

The experienced golfer emphasizes that such a defeat will be difficult to get over.

«Since Bethpage, this has been one of the toughest times in my life,» said Bradley, in his first news conference since the event.

«You win, it’s glory for a lifetime – but I didn’t and I’m going to have to sit with this for the rest of my life.

«There’s no part of me that thinks I’ll ever get over this. This event has been so brutal to me. I’ll forever wonder and wish.»

This could be exactly the reason why Keegan would like to embark on the same adventure again. On the one hand, a victory would probably make most people forget about the last defeat, but on the other hand, if he were to suffer another defeat, it would significantly jeopardize his image in golf circles.

Before the start of the prestigious tournament, it was said that Keegan Bradley could have both a captaincy and playing role. Ultimately, however, Keegan committed himself fully to the captain’s role, giving the chance to someone else. 

The captain of the American team shared his thoughts during the first practice day, stressing that he would have liked to have played in the last edition.

«The first practice day, I was out on the tee, and I was watching the guys walk down the fairway all together, and I said to myself ‘I wish I was playing – that’s what it’s all about. I’m missing out’.'»
