FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — The criticism started pouring in well before the U.S. made a Sunday rally at the Ryder Cup. It was a monumental day that saw Europe win just one match outright out of 12, but for the U.S. it was a hole too deep, a deficit too large.
While it says here—and has been said many times previously—that Ryder Cup captains get too much blame, and perhaps too much glory, Keegan Bradley is well aware that his U.S. captaincy will be second-guessed for as long as guests line up outside Bethpage Black. They'll play a storied public course that now will be remembered as the place where Europe prevailed 15–13 after what turned out to be a fun, drama-filled final day.
