New American Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has wasted little time in approaching the figures he wants on board to help his team regain the trophy in New York next year. The 38-year-old was considered a surprise choice when he was confirmed in the role this month, after clear favourite Tiger Woods withdrew from the race.
Bradley played on the losing side at both the 2012 ‘Miracle of Medinah’ and in Gleneagles two years later, and still remains very much active on the PGA Tour.
He missed the cut at last week’s Open Championship at Royal Troon, but seemingly used the tournament to build for Bethpage next September.
The 2011 US PGA champion previously admitted he sought out Woods for talks in Scotland, and still wants the icon to help lead Team USA despite him citing his off-course commitments when declining the captaincy. “I’ve told Tiger that I want him to be as involved as he wants to be,” said Bradley
