US captain Bradley says he will make 'right decision' on whether to play at Ryder Cup

A Pretty Strange Pick'

NEW YORK - United States Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley could become the first playing captain for the Americans since 1963, as he ponders six selections to complete his squad for the Sept 26-28 event.

The 39-year-old American would become the first US playing captain in the biennial showdown against Europe since the late Arnold Palmer 62 years ago, if he calls his own name on Aug 27.

Six automatic qualifiers for the US line-up include top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, two-time Major winners Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau, US Open winner J.J. Spaun and fellow Ryder Cup rookie Russell Henley and Harris English.

Bradley stands 11th in the world rankings, eighth on the list among Americans, after sharing seventh at last week's Tour Championship. He won his eighth PGA Tour title at the Travelers Championship in June.

His solid play this season has many thinking Bradley would be a perfect choice for the line-up, including US President Donald Trump, who plans to attend the first of three days of competition at Bethpage Black.
