Keegan Bradley turns down the effect of Rory McIlroy's opinions on his decision not to be a playing captain in the Ryder Cup

Long before Bradley announced his six wildcard picks on August 27th, Rory McIlroy made a comment regarding the pressure of being a playing captain. Speaking from the BMW Championship, the Northern Irishman dubbed this dual role as something impossible. From yesterday's Ryder Cup press conference, Bradley dismissed the effect of McIlroy's comments on his decision.

The captain of the US Ryder Cup squad said in his statement (quoted by Yahoo Sports):

“I am just not worried at all about what they do or say. I care about our team. I’m not quite sure how he would know if it’s not possible. No one’s ever done it, really... wish I could call Arnold Palmer and get his advice."

"The simple fact is that the Ryder Cup is a different animal than it was in the ’60s, so even that would be difficult. You know, they can make comments on what I can and cannot do.”

Bradley has admitted on multiple instances that he would do anything to put his team in a position to win. He also revealed that he wanted to play, but the six golfers he picked did not perform well. According to what Keegan Bradley said, it was heartbreaking for him when he decided that he would not be a playing captain this year.
