Despite Shocking Ryder Cup Rejection, an Elated Keegan Bradley Makes It to Rome; Fans Demand ‘Now Do Bryson’

PGA Tour pro Keegan Bradley once said he thinks about the Ryder Cup every second. However, amid the patriotic event’s madness, his snubbed dreams might have taken a back seat, but only so much. Amid his woes, the golf pro is still in the thoughts of fans!

Every professional athlete is chasing something, be it trophies, records, fame, or something else. In the case of Bradley, he had been after the prestigeous international event for the longest time. However, skipper Zach Johnson felt it was fit to keep the PGA Tour pro out of it. In a twist of fate, however, he surprisingly did end up in Rome, where the Ryder Cup is being held!

Keegan Bradley is closer to Marco Simone than the rest of the American team

The Ryder Cup is creating a solid buzz in every nook and cranny of the world. Fans are berserk over the strong line-ups, and the players must be nervous yet excited to represent their country for national glory. Amid this, there is one pro whose dreams were shattered.

It turns out the fans were just as in awe of him playing in the Ryder Cup. One of them took Bradley to Rome in spirit, and along with the Tour pro himself, the whole golf world reacted to the sweet gesture.

Flushing It Golf took to Instagram and posted the picture of the fan with the golf pro’s photo in his hand, captioned, “Even if Keegan Bradley isn’t on the plane to Rome as part of Team USA, these guys made sure he was there in spirit!” Part of the post included the fan’s, Kage’s, words. The Bradley divottee said, “Bought @keegan_bradley to Rome where he belongs!”

Keegan Bradley was ahead of Justin Thomas in his performance throughout the season and in Ryder Cup points. However, the captain picked Thomas to be on the American squad. Despite that, the love and admiration of fans he has earned is visible in this heartwarming gesture, and it even invoked Bradley himself’s response! Applauding his dedicated fan, he wrote, “Haha, this made me smile. Thanks Boys!” as the rest of the golf world flooded the comments.

The golf world reacts to Bradley’s making it to Rome

Bradley stood 11th in the points list and did not make the cut for the American team. In fact, three players passed over him in securing their tickets to Rome. Sam Burns, Rickie Fowler, and Justin Thomas Perhaps his missed cuts at the majors and the lack of a statement finish in most tournaments after winning the Travelers Championship made it difficult for the 37-year-old to cross over to Team US.

Keegan Bradley is not the only one who is missing from the Ryder Cup American squad. One of the fans also pointed out the absence of Bryson DeChambeau and wrote, “Now do Bryson!”

An ardent golf enthusiast is seemingly angry with Zach Johnson. Are you too? “That’s the damn truth. Keegan has every reason to despise Zach and the powers that be. There was simply no scenario where he should have been left out given how he’s trending compared to JT.”

Another fan was hoping to have a Justin Thomas meltdown in Rome so Johnson could learn a lesson. Bradley undoubtedly has some passionate fans! “When JT melts down everyone will know.”

Yet another fan indicated that the boys club in golf is real. “@justinthomas34 The boys club exposed!”

Many were just happy that the PGA Tour star had somehow made it to Rome. While one of them commented, “Awesome”, the other called the fan’s gesture mint, writing, “This is mint!”
