00:00He knows back to competitive golf.

00:01It's Keegan Bradley.

00:02Let's hear from Keegan Bradley right now on the Ryder Cup.

00:06Keegan, you're an emotional person and player.

00:09That's what makes you you.

00:10And you just talked about the gaping hole.

00:12You gave yourself an F.

00:14And you've talked about the disappointment of losing as captain.

00:17How much of an emotional toll can you verbalize?

00:20Did that take on you the weeks after the Ryder Cup?

00:26I mean, the darkest time of my life, probably.

00:30I mean, I don't know how else to describe it.

00:32Certainly, definitely in my career.

00:35But there's always.

00:37A lot of pressure, Keith.

00:39A lot of pressure here that he's talking about.

00:41The darkest time of my life.

00:44I mean, this guy showed up to the Skins game on Black Friday.

00:48And he smoked the field.

00:49I mean, I think he's going to play with a huge chip on his shoulder.

00:52Not to give too much away for the hero.

00:54But one of my early leans on the early line is definitely Keegan Bradley.

00:57For sure.

00:58I mean, I think this guy's going to show up to every tournament like he cares.

01:01Like it is his U.S. Open.

01:04He went through that Skins game.

01:05I mean, like a Vegematic.

01:07He tore those guys up.

01:09You know?

01:09I mean, it was awesome.

01:10It was in the wind.

01:11And when you look at this week, down there in the Bahamas, they have perfect weather coming.

01:15Low 80s.

01:16Not too much of a breeze.

01:17No rain.

01:18But Bermuda grass.

01:19And that is Keegan Bradley's wheelhouse.

01:22He just played on it in the Skins game there at Panther National.

01:25Down in your neighborhood there, Joe.

01:26And you know what?

01:27Going down to the Bahamas.

01:28A place where he's played well.

01:30He took his fall off.

01:31But you know what?

01:32It's obvious he's been working on his game.

01:33And he wants to play on that Ireland Ryder Cup team.

01:36And actually win the Ryder Cup.

01:38And I don't think he'll sleep until that happens.

01:40So, I definitely like him.

01:41And if you want to throw one more in.

01:43I'm going to look at Bobby Mack too.

01:44Bobby Mack has had one heck of a fall.

01:46He played great at the BMW.

01:48Came in runner-up.

01:49You know, that's the second round of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

01:51Came in runner-up to Scottie.

01:53And then he goes and wins the Ryder Cup.

01:55He wins the next week over at St. Andrews with a ski cap on at the Dunhill.

01:59He has back-to-back top tens in the DP World Tour playoffs.

02:02Bobby Mack down here.

02:04Again, in the wind with his driver, with his scoring ability.

02:07Keegan, Bobby Mack.

02:08Love those two.

02:11I mean, plus 135, Keith, is what Scheffler is.

02:16I mean, he's either won the tournament or been runner-up for, like, every year he's ever been in it.

02:21It is his first, I think, competitive, you know, tournament since the Ryder Cup.

02:27And from what I understand, he's actually working in new woods and a new driver.

02:33Does that – do you anticipate that there'll be a little adjustment period with him maybe early on?

02:39So, he doesn't win by five?

02:43Is that what we're saying?

02:44You know, you want to have some fun.

02:47You know, here's the thing, right?

02:50Back in my golf professional days, I wasn't called the director of golf.

02:53I was called the director of fun.

02:55You want to have some fun this weekend, you bet Scotty to win.

02:58And then they have this little event going on over there in Australia called the Australian Open.

03:02And for the first time, Rory McIlroy is over there playing in it.

03:05You take Rory, Scotty, put him in a parlay, Joe, right?

03:09You're going to get, like, 12 to 1, 13 to 1, right?

03:12And then you'll have – I mean, you'll have a sweat all weekend because those two guys are going to be involved.

03:16You think McIlroy is motivated?

03:18The fans have shown up in practice rounds giving him standing ovations.

03:22They're so excited that he's there.

03:23And don't forget that they're playing Royal Melbourne.

03:26That's a historic site.

03:28Rory loves his history too.

03:29Just like Tiger, just like Scotty.

03:30He is going to try to win that event as best he can.

03:34I mean, to win on two McKenzie courses in one year, Augusta National and Royal Melbourne,

03:38that is more than historic in a year that has been career-defining for one Mr. McIlroy.

03:43Thank you very much.
