Multiple Americans have said they believe Bradley should pick himself, and there's certainly public sentiment for it. But there's also risk.

Keegan Bradley, captain of the 45th U.S. Ryder Cup team, can take comfort in looking at these six names: Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English, and Bryson DeChambeau.

Bradley told Lewis that he was dreading the “awful” phone calls to the players who did not make the team. “Full Swing” captured the heartbreaking moment Bradley was left off the team by 2023 captain Zach Johnson before the Europeans dominated the Americans in Rome.
