Keegan Bradley suggests he won’t ever get another Ryder Cup wildcard pick as ‘outsider’ of sport

Published

on

On Tuesday, the United States team Ryder Cup picks were announced. Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Max Homa, Brian Harman, and Wyndham Clark had already qualified for the team via the Ryder Cup points list, but the six remaining captain’s picks have been debated for weeks.

Zach Johnson ultimately chose Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, and Sam Burns to join the team, which many fans and some players have taken issue with.

Among those players is Keegan Bradley. The 37-year-old has not been on a Ryder Cup team since 2012 and was hoping to secure a spot in 2023 due to his strongest season in recent memory. He won the ZOZO Championship in October of 2022 and then the Travelers Championship, which was a “designated event,” just a few months ago.

While speaking with Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis, the former PGA Champion said he believes he will have to automatically qualify for the team if he wants to be invited to the Ryder Cup in future years due to his position as an “outsider in the sport.”

“I’ve always been an outsider in the sport, but I have tried to get closer to the guys I thought would be on the team. I feel like moving forward I’m going to have to automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup.”

There’s no doubt that Bradley has outplayed Justin Thomas this season, but Johnson obviously felt as though JT couldn’t be left off the team.

    Keegan is a real douche canoe BUT he won twice this year and so did Glover, JT sucks and is NOT deserving of a spot.

    Quit bellyaching. You are a damn good golfer. Work harder play harder and make them eat their choices.

    I am not a Keegan Bradley fan at all but he 1000% deserved a pick over JT.

Wyndham Clark: I like to think I am better than Rory McIlroy and I want to prove that at Ryder Cup

Published

on

With just one week to go until the 2023 Ryder Cup gets underway, anticipation and excitement is beginning to ramp up.

Plenty of golfers will be making their Ryder Cup debut next week, with rookie Wyndham Clark eager for a blockbuster Rory McIlroy matchup.

Clark stared down McIlroy earlier this year at the U.S. Open to capture his first major championship, and Clark wants another showdown with the Ulsterman next week in Rome.

When asked on Golf Channel if he wanted to face Rory next week, Clark boldly stated:

“That is exactly who I want, I would love to play Rory.”

“I have the utmost respect for Rory – he is one of our great ambassadors of our game. He is obviously one of the best of all time and he is still going so he can be that. I have tons of respect for Rory and because of that respect, I also want to beat him. I like to think I am better than him and I want to prove that.”

“I would love to play Rory, I think that would be really fun for the fans too. Long-ball hitters. We have similar games in that respect. It would be a little bit of David and Goliath. I am hoping to get that chance. Regardless of who I play, I am really excited. But that one would be a lot of fun.”

If it’s not to be McIlroy, the Ryder Cup rookie has his sights set on two other juggernauts of Team Europe, Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm.

“One guy I would love to have a piece of, because the one loss I had in college was to him, is Viktor Hovland. He clipped me on the 18th hole. If there is any competition or anyone I would like another chance at, it would be Viktor.

“And Jon Rahm. I live in Arizona and so does Jon. We play together – there is always trash talk and even when we are having a friendly match we want to make sure we don’t lose to each other, even if we lose to the other guys in the group. We don’t want to lose to each other. Any of those guys would be a lot of fun to play against.”

The 2023 Ryder Cup starts Friday, Sept. 29, from Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy.

Brooks Koepka gives his verdict on THAT heated Barstool Sports golf rules dispute

Published

on

While playing with Dan “Big Cat” Katz at the LIV Chicago Pro-Am, Brooks Koepka weighed in on the argument that went viral during Barstool Sports’ “Writer Cup” between Kirk Minihane and the scramble team of Arian Foster and Francis Ellis.

The disagreement took place when Francis tapped in for a five prior to Foster attempting his putt for four. Minihane argued that once Francis struck his putt, that was the hole that the team took in the scramble format.

Big Cat explained the argument to Koepka, who immediately said “You have to have that score if you finish the hole”.

Big Cat is on Kirk’s team for the “Writer Cup”, and it was evident in his explanation of the situation.

Fore Play did a poll seeing what people thought the correct score should have been, four or five. Four won the vote by an overwhelming margin, 77 to 23.

Big Cat and his “Pardon My Take” co-host PFT Commenter teed it up at the LIV Golf Pro-Am on Thursday at Rich Harvest Farms.
