Keegan Bradley secured the final point for Team USA to win another Presidents Cup, and golf fans felt it was a full-circle moment for him.
Keegan Bradley clinched the winning point for Team USA at the Presidents Cup, and it felt like a full-circle moment for him.
The last time he was on a team was ten years ago, and his point was to lose the Ryder Cup.
It is fantastic for him to play such a pivotal role on this team, as he is likely nearing the end of his role as a player in these team events.
Hence, fans flooded social media with heartwarming thoughts on how deserving he was to be in that role. Bradley started as an assistant captain for this Presidents Cup team but was a surprise captain’s pick from Jim Furyk.
It paid off for him, too.
He deserves this moment after getting snubbed for the Ryder Cup last year.
Bradley loves team events, and they mean the world to him. After not making the team for Rome, he likely thought it was all over as a player.
He got another chance, though, and went 2-1-0 at Royal Montreal.
Let’s look at some of the best reactions to Bradley clinching the winning putt.
Keegan being the one to win the winning point for Team USA is so

X user Swing Lube Golf is ready to bet a lot of money on Team USA at Bethpage Black for the 2025 Ryder Cup.
It may be too early to bet on a 2025 event, but it is great to see the fans excited about it.
No better person than Keegan Bradley to close out President’s Cup for the US. He’a going to be a great Ryder Cup Captain and I’m putting the mortgage on the US over Europe at Bethpage. #Golf #president’scup #pgatour

It appears the fans are all on the same page — no one else but Bradley deserved to close out this Presidents Cup with a victory.
This Presidents Cup performance has likely given him some much-needed confidence heading into his new captaincy role.
