‘I Hope He’s Pissed’: Keegan Bradley Gives Honest Verdict After Benching Ben Griffin On Saturday

Team USA captain Keegan Bradley made one of the tournament’s most controversial decisions Saturday, keeping Ben Griffin on the sidelines during crucial matches. The move raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike.

However, Bradley delivered an unexpectedly candid response when questioned about the choice. “I hope he’s pissed,” the captain stated bluntly about Griffin’s reaction to being benched.

Bradley explained the difficult mathematics behind his captaincy decisions. “The hardest part about this captaincy is having to sit the guys because everybody is so good,” he acknowledged. Furthermore, he emphasized the strategic thinking involved. “You have to look at the data and you have to look at, all right, we have to send out a powerful group, send a message.”

The captain drew from his own painful experience to justify the tough call. Consequently, he recalled sitting out an entire day at Gleneagles alongside Phil Mickelson. “It was one of the lowest moments of my career,” Bradley admitted.

Nevertheless, Keegan Bradley sees the benching as potential motivation rather than punishment. “I know Ben Griffin is going to go out tomorrow,” he said confidently. Additionally, he wants Griffin channeling that frustration productively. “I hope he comes out tomorrow ready to prove me wrong and ready to go out and win his point.”

Griffin, who has been steady all season, now gets the chance to turn frustration into performance. For Bradley, the call was one of leadership’s many sacrifices. For Griffin, Sunday offers the perfect answer.

The gamble reflects Bradley’s aggressive captaincy style. Meanwhile, Griffin must now transform disappointment into determination. Ultimately, Sunday’s singles matches will reveal whether Bradley’s psychological tactics pay dividends or backfire spectacularly.
