Rory: Bradley ‘interesting pick’ as U.S. captain

Rory McIlroy has expressed his surprise at the selection of Keegan Bradley as the next captain of the United States Ryder Cup team. McIlroy, a four-time major winner and former world number one, said that Bradley is an “interesting pick” for the role and that he did not see it coming.

“I think it’s an interesting pick,” McIlroy said. “He’s a great player, but I don’t think he has a lot of experience in leadership roles. I’m not sure what his vision is for the team, but I’m sure he’s going to do a great job.”

McIlroy also said that he is looking forward to playing against Bradley in the Ryder Cup.

“I think it’s going to be a great competition,” McIlroy said. “The U.S. team is always strong, and I’m sure Keegan is going to have them fired up. We’re going to have to be at our best to beat them.”

McIlroy said that he would be taking some time to reflect on his performance and try to learn from his mistakes.

“I’m going to take a few days off and then I’ll start to think about what I need to do to improve,” McIlroy said. “I know that I can play better than I did on Sunday and I’m determined to get back to my best.”
