Keegan Bradley reacts to his Ryder Cup snub! "Super bummed out"
Keegan Bradley has revealed details of his conversation with Zach Johnson after the American was overlooked as a Ryder Cup pick.
Keegan Bradley says he's 'super bummed' he missed out on a Ryder Cup spot for Team USA.
Zach Johnson named his six captain's picks on 29 August and decided to leave Bradley at home.
He overlooked the poor form of Justin Thomas and opted to pick the 30-year-old. "You just don't leave JT at home," he said.
Johnson also picked Brooks Koepka and made the omission he didn't call the other LIV Golf players thought to be in contention.
Bradley had a strong finish to the 2023 campaign, winning the Travelers Championship for his sixth PGA Tour title.

The 37-year-old also advanced to the season-ending Tour Championship with 30 other golfers, finishing T-9 at East Lake.
Bradley's passion for the Cup is absolutely evident. He previously provided a perhaps OTT answer about his passion for the biennial competition.

The American has been one of the most passionate players in an era where some have been accused of not caring.
There is absolutely no doubt that Bradley and Cameron Young will feel particularly disappointed they were overlooked.
Bradley told Golf Channel's Todd Lewis:
Bradley then added:
Joining Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Brian Harman, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele and Max Homa are:
