Keegan Bradley deserves blame for Team USA’s Ryder Cup disaster —including key mistake he’d like backfrom the international clash at Bethpage Black due to a neck injury, resulting in each team receiving half a point ahead of the singles competition, the Barstool Sports founder fumed over the ruling on X as the Americans lost the Ryder Cup , 15-13.
“So because Viktor Hovland slept on his neck awkwardly and couldn’t play Europe was gifted a free .5 pt that won them the Ryder Cup?

Obviously, it wasn’t the right decision. I definitely made a mistake on the course setup. If I could go back, I probably would have changed that. “But the Europeans played just incredible golf.
