That makes literally zero sense.
Yeah, it's outside the box, but hiring like Yassir as the captain would also be outside the box. Why Keegan Bradley?
He doesn't have traditional qualifications for it, he might actually be able to make the team (which would complicate things), and things aren't exactly broke when it comes to home Ryder Cups.
I would suggest maybe that they wanted to give it to Tiger and at the last minute he wouldn't take it, so they panicked, but how do you not have a better back up plan than Keegan Bradley?
