Last Saturday, an unflattering story about Keegan Bradley berating a rules official at the Ryder Cup was quickly spreading like wildfire on social media. But before most people could press play on the video clip, which came courtesy of the Musings Golf Podcast, the clip had been scrubbed from the internet.<\/p>\n

Those who did get the chance to view the clip and listen to the story heard the voice of PGA professional Chandler Withington, who revealed that Bradley, captain of the US team at Bethpage Black, took rules official and fellow PGA pro Jeff Kiddie to task in the heat of the Sunday singles matches. The undressing came after Kiddie was involved in a lengthy ruling in the first singles match of the day between Justin Rose and Cameron Young.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Apparently, Bradley felt that this process had stalled much of the early momentum the US side was building early that Sunday. And he took out his anger on Kiddie. According to Withington, the verbal abuse was so bad that Kiddie, a well-respected rules official and club pro, vowed to never work a Ryder Cup again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the tweet of the video clip was deleted just as it began making the rounds, which of course calls into question the validity of the story. That said, Golf Digest\u2018s Joel Beall was on the grounds that day and tweeted what he witnessed in real time:<\/p>\n
Keegan Bradley has been chirping at the referee about the Justin Rose ruling for a solid 10 minutes<\/p>\n
