Michael Kim has questioned Keegan Bradley\u2019s bid to play and serve as captain for Team USA<\/a> at the upcoming Ryder Cup<\/a>. Kim’s criticism of the U.S. Ryder Cup captain came shortly after Bradley\u2019s dramatic win at the Travelers Championshi<\/a>p, which pushed him closer to making the Ryder Cup team as a player.<\/p>\n

Kim Cautions: ‘People Getting Caught Up In The Moment\u2019 After Bradley’s Victory<\/h2>\n

Bradley, who was named the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, is now also chasing a spot on the team as a player. His victory at the Travelers Championship moved him up to 9th in the Ryder Cup points rankings, raising the possibility of him becoming the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.<\/p>\n

While many fans and experts celebrated Bradley\u2019s achievement, Michael Kim was quick to voice his concern. He took to social media, congratulating Bradley on his win but urging people to keep things in perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazing golf by Keegan at a tournament he cherishes. I just have to say that, people put too much emphasis on a win over a top 3,4. The difference is often one three putt or one misclub in 4 days or 1 out of 250 shots. Keegan can definitely be on the team as a player since he\u2019s an amazing golfer but I think people are getting caught up in the moment after a crazy W. If he had finished 2nd, I don\u2019t think the reaction would be as much. Food for thought.\u201d Kim posted on his official X account.<\/p>\n

Thoughts from Travelers:
\n-I had a decent tournament but finished with a lousy Sunday. It was mostly one hole, the 13th, I made a triple. I hit three poor shots in a row. \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f It happens. My putter was a bit of a let down as well.
\n-Gutted for Tommy. I heard he looked undecided on\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/vt6ASq0WZo<\/a><\/p>\n
