The RDER Cup 2025 is set to be a highstakes battle between two powerhouse teams, but one name has already sparked controversy. Keegan Bradley. At 39, Bradley chose not to include himself in his captain’s picks for the event, focusing instead on leading the US team that includes stars like Justin Thomas, Colin Morawa, and Camelin Young. This decision has raised eyebrows, especially when considering the challenges ahead. But here’s where it gets controversial. Bryson Dshambo remains a major puzzle for Bradley. Golf Channel analyst Brandle Chambbley recently highlighted this issue, noting that pairing Dshambo with the right teammate could be the difference between victory and defeat. He’s an incredible player, but his partnerships have been inconsistent, Chambbley explained. In 2018, he lost to Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, but he fared better with Scotty Sheffller in 2021, winning 1.5 points in two matches. Chambbley also emphasized the strategic importance of the first session, pointing out that the winner of the opening match has predicted the RDER Cup outcome 68% of the time. “This isn’t just about momentum. It’s about who will dominate with their strengths. He said Bradley’s team with a combined world ranking of 15.5 is stronger than Europe’s. But the real test lies in finding the perfect partner for Dshambo. And this is the part most people miss. Even the best players can struggle with the right mix. Can Bradley find someone who can balance Dshambo’s intensity with his precision? The answer could define the US team’s chances. What do you think? Can Bradley solve this Bryson dilemma? Or will the US face another tough matchup?
