In Close Ryder Cup Loss, Bradley Singles Out Bethpage Black Course Setup as Mistake
Keegan Bradley cites multiple strategic errors including cutting rough at Bethpage Black, which softened the course and impacted the 15-13 Ryder Cup loss.
- The 45th Ryder Cup golf tournament took place on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., where Europe defeated the U.S. 15-13.
- U.S. captain Keegan Bradley attributed the loss to his course setup decisions, especially cutting the rough and the weather-softened greens, which he called mistakes he must take responsibility for.
- European captain Luke Donald prepared the team by focusing on putting inside six feet at Bethpage, which significantly affected scoring and helped Europe overcome a large deficit going into Sunday.
- Despite America losing only one of 11 singles matches and making a record 8.5 points in singles, they fell short due to poor putting and strategic pairing choices like Harris English and Collin Morikawa, which were scrutinized after the event.
- Bradley acknowledged his mistakes, expressed regret over decisions including not playing himself, confirmed he might not return as captain, and pledged to assist the next captain while recognizing Europe's high-level play.
