Bradley, who captained the United States for the first time, said the loss overshadowed the rest of his season and meant he could not enjoy any of his success as a player.
“Probably the darkest time of my life,” he said Tuesday of the months following the Ryder Cup. “I mean, I don’t know how else to describe it. Definitely, definitely my career.”
As a player, Bradley enjoyed one of his most successful seasons to date, climbing to a career-high seventh in the world rankings, earning his eighth Tour win at the Travelers Championship, and achieving six top-10 finishes.
But asked himself to assign a grade to summarize his season, the response was immediate: “I mean, it’s an F. You’ve got to go and win. [the Ryder Cup] And this grade is different. It’s really hard to grade. I was talking to my coach, he said, ‘Remember, you won this year?’ I was like, ‘No, I don’t remember that at all.’
This was Bradley’s first Ryder Cup since he was part of the losing team in 2014.
Despite his heartbreaking experience at Bethpage he confirmed that he would be happy to participate again. He said, “I’m in a unique position where I can build another team, which has never been done. I would love to do that.”
“I would love to avenge that defeat, but it is not up to me.
“I don’t think it’s fair for me to come out here and say this. But I would love to do it again at some point. I don’t know if it’ll ever happen, probably not.”
American player Justin Thomas suggested in an interview with No Lying Up earlier this week that the Bethpage Black Grounds crew had “battled” the team on the best green speed.
Asked if that was a factor, Bradley insisted: “I wish we could blame somebody, but we can’t. Blame me, I blame myself for that loss. It would be nice to blame him, but we can’t do that.”
