Many users on the Internet have not hesitated at all, calling out Bradley on his foursome pairings. Many believe that this poor matchmaking is the reason why Team USA might lose its point to Team Europe on day 1.
Fans blast on Keegan Bradley
The reactions are outpouring, not sparing Keegan Bradley at all.
One commenter said, “@Keegan_Bradley Need a serious change in the pairings in foursomes. You put some terrible teams out this morning. Henley, Morikawa, and Thomas have zero business in this format.” All three players are on the losing side this morning, with Justin Thomas and Bryson DeChambeau’s pair trailing after Jon Rahm’s and Tyrrell Hatton, Scottie Scheffler’s and Russell Henley’s pair losing to Ludvig Abera and Matt Fitzpatrick, and Collin Morikawa and Harris English losing to Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood.
Some other comments:
If I’m Captain Keegan, I’m sitting Thomas Henley, Morikawa and English for the afternoon and let the other guys try. These guys have been a disaster this morning.
Keegan should be fired on the spot for that Morikawa / English pairing
One of the more baffling decisions I’ve seen
Shocker:
Morikawa wasn’t a good pick.
Justin Thomas wasn’t a good pick.
Also Morikawa and English pairing never made any sense
the ryder cup “captain” role is just classic overblown professional golf main character self-important prattle.
give anyone on golf twitter an ear piece and a pen and a coloring book and they could make teams with the same variance of outcomes. it’s golf man.
but rolling out collin/harris,
@DataGolf
hypothetical 132/132 data-driven worst pairing, is something.
why not CAM YOUNG (NY Bred) or JJ SPAUN (US OPEN) to bang with this crowd early?
this is all my current train of thought.
could change.
