The Ryder Cup this year was marred with selection controversies. This is not something that happened just this year but is rather something that happens every time Ryder Cup teams are picked. This controversial aspect stands the most true for the wild card entries or the Captain’s picks.

Keegan Bradley was a player who was expecting to be picked by Team USA’s captain Zach Johnson. But to his disappointment, he was not picked to defend the honor of his country. This was the case despite his great credentials, beating some of the picks even. Now, he has opened up about how he feels he should not hyper-focus on making teams.

Keegan Bradley on how he should not hyper-focus

Recently Keegan Bradley appeared on an interview from which a snippet was posted on Instagram. In the course of the interview he mentioned how not making the team this year was “devastating” for him.

He then went on to talk about his rookie year on the tour when he won two events including the PGA Tour championship but still for the President’s Cup he failed to get picked. This incident coupled with his recent missing out on the Ryder Cup has made him come to a realisation.

He said “I can’t put any stock into getting picked. I have to make these teams on my own which is the way it should be here if you’re leaving yourself to a pick then you can’t be upset for not getting picked because you didn’t make the team” 

With this mindset he believes that he should not hyper-focus on making it to the team but rather should just focus on being himself and playing the best golf he can and eventually this will lead him to be in the teams he aspires to be a part of.
