Should U.S. bring back Keegan Bradley as captain for next Ryder Cup? | Golf Today | Golf Channel
THE RESULTS ANYMORE BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THE INCENTIVE TO SKEW IT IN SOME WAY. SO IT ALL SEEMS BAD TO ME. I FEEL LIKE I’M A VERY CYNICAL GUEST TODAY FOR YOU GUYS. I’M REALLY BRINGI THE DARK CLOUDS AND THE GLOOM AND DOOM. AGAIN, THIS DOESN’T SEEM GOOD IN ANY POSSIBLE WAY. >> ALL RIGHT. SHANE, I’LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO PUT A SMILEY FACE ON THIS. IT IS A LITTLE BIT LATE BUT YOU ARE SO CONNECTED TO THE RYDER CUP AND SPECIFICALLY THE U.S. TEAM. THERE WERE SOME RUMORS THAT MAYBE THE U.S. SIDE WOULD BRING BACK A KEEGAN BRADLEY. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT FRONT? >> THIS IS THE NONDOOM AND GLOOM QUESTION? >> GIVE IT A SHOT, MAN. >> LOOK, I THINK — IT’S SO HARD NOT TO BESARCASTIC HERE. I’LL GIVE YOU THE SINCERE ANSWER. HOW CAN YOU NOT GIVE HIM A SHOT. HE WAS SO GOOD THE FIRST TIME. GO BACK TO THE WELL. I DON’T BLAME KEEGAN BRADLEY FOR BEING OFFERED THE JOB. THAT WAS A BAD MISTAKE THAT I THOUGHT THE PGA OF AMERICA MADE. HE WASN’T READY FOR THE ROLE. HE WAS GOING TO BE PLAYING THE WHOLE TIME WHICH WOULD DETRACT FROM ANY LEADERSHIP THING. I DO BLAME HIM FOR TAKING THE JOB. HE SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT. I DO BLAME HIM FOR NOT LISTENING TO THE STATS GUYS. THAT WAS THE IMPRESSION I GOT. I BLAME HIM FOR MAKING IT SO MUCH ABOUT HIMSELF THAT AFTER THE PRESIDENT’S CUP, HE DID THIS BIG SPEECH ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD GO TO BETHPAGE AND KICK THEIR YOU KNOW WHAT’S. THE LEADERSHIP WAS SO FLAWED FROM BEGINNING TO END, THE QUESTION YOU ASKED, I KNOW YOU’RE JUST ASKING IN GOOD FAITH, IT FILLS ME WITH RAGE, THE QUESTION THAT YOU WOULD OFFER THIS MAN THE CAPTAINCY AGAIN. IT IS THE WORST POSSIBLE IDEA. ALL THE SOLUTIONS YOU COULD COME UP WITH, THIS IS THE WORST ONE. I HOPE THEY DON’T DO IT. HISTORY INDICATES THAT IT’S A COIN FLIP. THEY HAVE AT LEAST A 50% CHANCE OF GOING EXACTLY THAT ROUTE. >> DOES THIS FILL WITH YOU RAGE AS WELL IF KEEGAN BRADLEY IS OFFERED THIS JOB AGAIN? >> I’M NOT CYNICAL LIKE SHANE. I’M AMUSED BY THIS POSSIBILITY. IT DOES SEEM ILL-ADVISED. HIS PASSION FOR THE EVENT CONTINUES TO COME THROUGH, OBVIOUSLY, IN THAT TRAVELLER’S MEDIA CALL WHERE SO MUCH CALLS ARE COMING IN AND NEVER GET OVER IT. I WOULDN’T SAY, I WOULD SAY HE WAS LOBBYING. ALREADY PUTTING DOWN A MARKER TO NOT BE CAPTAIN BUT TO BE UNDER CONSIDERATION TO PLAY. OBVIOUSLY, HE HAS TO PERFORM ON THE COURSE IN THE INTERVENING MONTHS BETWEEN NOW AND IRELAND. BUT IT DID SEEM LIKE HE WAS PUTTING DOWN A MARSHALLER TO PLAY. TO ME THAT SEEM LIKE THE BEST CASE SCENARIO AS IT PERTAIN TO KEEGAN. THAT HE CONTINUES TO PLAY WELL. DOES IT SEEM LIKELY GIVEN HIS AGE? NO. BUT I THINK THAT’S PROBABLY THE MORE SUITABLE AND BETTER SCENARIO FOR THE AMERICAN OPERATION IS SOMEONE WITH THAT PASSION, SOMEONE WITH THAT GIVE A DAMN, TO BE FRANK, IT PLAYS HIS WAY OR WITHIN CONTENTION OF A ROSTER SPOT WHICH HE CLEARLY STILL WANTS IF YOU LISTEN TO HIM. >> ALL RIGHT, SHANE. I’LL GIVE YOU ONE MORE CHANCE. THE IDEA THAT MAX HOMA, MAYBE HE TURN A BIT OF A CORNER. THERE WAS AN INJURY YOU HAVE TO LOOK INTO WITH A BONE SPUR IN HIS ANKLE AND THERE ARE SOME RUMORS ABOUT HIM GOING BACK TO HIS OLD SWING COACH. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE OUT OF MAX HOMA? >> MAX HOMA IS A PHONY — NO. I HOPE HE MAKES THE RIGHT CHANGES. I WAS KIND OF DOWN ON FALL GOLF BUT I THINK MAX HOMA’S STORY IS ONE OF THE REALLY INTRIGUING THING ABOUT FALL GOLF. AND JOE DAHMEN IS ANOTHER ONE. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FROM MAX HOMA, I THINK HE’S A SMART GUY, I THINK HE’S ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING GUYS WE HAVE. I WOULD SAY ALL OF THIS. I WANT THEM TO BE GOOD AGAIN. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS INCREDIBLY SIMPLISTIC. WHY DON’T YOU WAVE A MAGIC WAND AND START PLAYING GOOD GOLF AGAIN. I THOUGHT GOLF WAS MORE INTERESTING WHEN MAX HOMA WAS NEAR THE TOP. I’M NOT SAYING I NEED HIM TO BE IN THE TOP FIVE OF THE WORLD AGAIN. WHEN HE’S COMPETITIVE, WHEN HE IS PLAYING WELL, I THINK IT IS SUCH A GOOD THING FOR THE SPORT. THAT’S SOMETHING I’M FOLLOWING WITH GREAT INTEREST. AND

Emerging is actually very fair.
I’m hoping Keegan gets to play considering he was robbed of playing the last 2 which who knows could have made a difference.
