US Ryder Cup Captain Bradley Sticks to Plan Despite Early Deficit

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley is steadfast in his strategy despite the U.S. team's disappointing start and a three-point deficit to Europe at Bethpage Black. He has shown notable confidence in the Morikawa-English pairing, maintaining their place for Day 2 despite their heavy loss on Day 1 and critical data analytics suggesting they are the weakest U.S. team option. Bradley emphasizes patience and adherence to the established plan, refusing to panic or make hasty changes, instead opting for minor lineup tweaks such as pairing Cameron Young with Bryson DeChambeau to invigorate the team. The American side is drawing on the spirit of historic comebacks and focusing on winning sessions incrementally rather than all at once. While acknowledging Europe's strong performance, Bradley remains optimistic about the team's prospects, highlighting the importance of making more putts and matching Europe's intensity. The captain's approach underscores a belief in continuity and confidence in his players’ ability to rebound in the remaining sessions.
