There is not much left until the start of the Ryder Cup, and it seems that passions are at their peak. The European team is more optimistic than ever, although they are aware that winning on away soil is a very demanding task.
Rory McIlroy caused a storm of reactions when he said that Europe will win on Bethpage Black. Not long after, the media was interested in the reaction of Keegan Bradley, the captain of the American team.
In an interview with the media, the experienced golfer and captain of the American team admitted that he does not care too much about the European team, aware of their quality.
The famous golfer and captain said that he appreciates the efforts of Luke Donald, the captain of Europe, and every individual, but that he knows that focusing too much on the European team could spoil his primary focus; preparation of own team.
