Overview
- Speaking publicly for the first time since Bethpage Black, Bradley called the weeks since the loss one of the toughest periods of his life.
- He acknowledged misjudging the course setup, which combined with rain to make the venue more manageable than intended.
- Luke Donald’s Europe built an 11.5–4.5 lead over the first two days, the largest Sunday‑morning deficit for the U.S. in the modern era.
- Team USA rallied in singles with 8.5 points, yet Europe closed out a 15–13 win to retain the trophy on American soil.
- Bradley said his pairings and his choice not to be a playing captain are fair questions, and he remains unsure if he will get another chance to represent the U.S., with the next Ryder Cup scheduled for 2027 at Adare Manor.
