Rory McIlroy takes the Ryder Cup seriously, so when he makes comments like the ones he did, Team USA and captain Keegan Bradley better take notice.

There is nothing like the event, it is one of the biggest that the world of sports has to offer, and Keegan has worn his emotions on his sleeve about how near and dear to his heart the whole of it all is.

The world No. 2 joked that “hopefully it is impossible” for Keegan Bradley to have a dual role at Bethpage, wanting the top-10 player to solely be a captain.
