If you want your team to win, it is necessary that there is unity and harmony in the team.
Keegan Bradley, captain of the American team, is well aware of this. There is no doubt that he is giving his best and doing everything to make his team a big success at Bethpage Black. On the other hand, he is aware that many factors will affect their success and that he must do everything to prevent unwanted consequences.
The American team represents a combination of youth and experience, and it is very important to balance those two sides. However, American golfers seem especially open and willing to help younger players.

Speaking to the media, Keegan Bradley shared the atmosphere before the Ryder Cup, emphasizing the formats.
The senior golfers evoke only positive reactions, given their willingness to do anything for their team to celebrate and make up for the loss two years ago.

Theres the golf ball. You really want to match up the personalities with foursomes because it is a way tougher format.
I think when youre on the road, its much more comforting to have a best ball partner. So when youre on the road and youre standing on that first tee by yourself, in that alternate shot, its much tougher, so I think that would be the reason.

Its also easier to play better at home, it seems like over the last 30 years. But foursomes is we have some history in some of the pairings. We also have a bunch of new guys, and its been great to see the willingness of our guys to really play with anybody.
Again, I dont necessarily feel like weve had that in the past teams that Ive had. Willing veterans coming to us, saying, Put us with guys that havent played a Ryder Cup, which is really special. Its a big Its a difference maker, I think, in how youre going to do it in the Ryder Cup.
