Keegan Bradley faces scrutiny over player power in the United States Ryder Cup team and his own inflexibility after the captain produced curious pairings for the Saturday morning foursomes at Bethpage. Bradley and the US are under pressure after Europe won both sessions on Friday, taking them to a 5 ½ to 2 ½ lead as they seek to retain the trophy.
The respected analytics site Data Golf had Collin Morikawa and Harris English as 132nd in a list of compatible American players for foursomes. Morikawa and English slumped to a 5&4 foursomes defeat to Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood on Friday morning. Not only has Bradley returned Morikawa and English for Saturday morning but they will face the same European duo.
