Keegan Bradley will have a serious task in the coming weeks: to select the best players who will defend the colors of the US team at this year's Ryder Cup. The public is already speculating about his picks, as well as the performances of US golfers at the next tournaments.
Cameron Young is a name that is being mentioned more and more in the media, after winning the Wyndham Championship, but he is not the only name circulating in the public eye.
However, the public is most interested in whether Keegan will have a double role, ie be a captain-player at this year's Ryder Cup.
Rocco Mediate, a well-known face of the golf scene, pointed out during SIRIUSXM PGA Tour Radio that it is necessary to have the best players available, believing that Bradley should play for the US team.

Rocco Mediate: I would want him on the team
Mediate is not one to be skeptical about how well Keegan will handle the dual role.
He believes that it is important to have the best individuals; those who are ready to fight to the end and give the necessary quality to the team.
If Im in the top six, or one of the assistant captains, Im saying, listen pal, there is really nobody playing better or as good as you right now, if you dont play on this team with us, were not coming.
I would want him on the team. People are like, no, hes the captain. Im like, really, is it that hard?
Just play good guys and pair yourselves. I hope he makes it and the team insists that he plays, because that would be even more of an honour.- he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.

Keegan Bradley has really impressed this season, but watching the captain as a player is not a scene we have witnessed many times.
It will be interesting to see if Bradley will really have a double role, but judging by everything so far, it seems that he is well on his way to that.
