Keegan Bradley has had a lot of problems during this season, and although he expected the captaincy to bring positivity for him, in the end the experienced golfer was left disappointed. His longtime dream has become a disappointment, but being the captain of the US team is certainly a big deal and speaks volumes for his qualities and greatness.
Keegan Bradley wants to be captain again and possibly make amends for the defeat at Bethpage Black, but it is not known if the leaders of the PGA of America will give him such a chance.
Rex Hoggard admitted he was a bit confused by Keegan Bradley's statements.
He believes that Bradley was a plan B for the PGA of America while Tiger Woods was the first option.
Hoggard points out that PGA of America executives made the decision after Tiger Woods turned down the captaincy, noting that no one expected this outcome and that the vote of confidence in Bradley was a surprising move.

Im at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas this week. And Keegan spoke like he has a little bit since the Ryder Cup about how painful it was. Quote-unquote, the darkest time of my life, is what he said. Another quote that actually is more interesting to me is, Id love to avenge that loss, which means Id love to do it again. That, to me, makes no sense whatsoever, he said.
If this is the darkest time in your life, why would you want to put yourself through this again? But its clear he is the most tragic of heroes in this scenario, because he was really put in an impossible position.- he continued.
The next captain
The skepticism that existed from day one ultimately proved to be justified, but it is difficult to place all the responsibility on Bradley considering that the players could certainly have done better, and that there was a certain mental barrier at key moments.

The next captain of the American team has a huge responsibility, aware that difficult moments await him. Fighting on a visiting course is a challenging task, no matter how many quality individuals you have.
This has been proven many times so far.
