With 24 hours until the Ryder Cup gets underway, Captain Keegan is ready to roll.
Captain Keegan is ready.
The 2025 Ryder Cup gets underway in less than 24 hours, the Team USA's frontman, Keegan Bradley, made sure to let the crowd know who's turf this is as players wrapped up their final practice rounds Thursday afternoon.

Bradley borrowed an American flag from a fan in the gallery and took off sprinting up the 18th fairway, laughing and waving the flag to a thunderous applause.
As he approached the green, Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" began blaring over the loudspeakers at the grandstands, and Bradley raced up to the putting surface waving the stars and stripes from side to side.
A moment of pure elation for the American captain as he sets out to bring the Ryder Cup back to the U.S. after the team suffered a beatdown in Rome in 2023.
It remains to be seen whether the golf world will view Bradley's captaincy as a success or failure, but one thing is for certain: He won't stand by and let the Bethpage crowd forget who the home team is this weekend.
