Keegan Bradley is a man under pressure at this moment in time, with the American looking to lead his team to Ryder Cup success.

Bradley will captain the US team against the Europeans at the next Ryder Cup, which takes place at Bethpage Black this month.

Eight-time PGA Tour winner Bradley believes he’s playing the best golf of his career, but he opted against picking himself to play in New York.

He will instead focus all of his duties on being the captain, where his opposite number Luke Donald is aiming to secure back-to-back Ryder Cup wins.

The Englishman will take great confidence from the success in Rome in 2023, having been rewarded for his efforts there by retaining the captaincy.

Donald will also be motivated to cause a real upset at Bethpage Black, with winning an away Ryder Cup arguably among the most difficult achievements in sport.

Bradley will also be hugely motivated to avoid a home defeat, with the captain boasting a very strong team of Americans to help him achieve success.

But he also has someone much closer to home to turn to for advice, with his Auntie Pat Bradley a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.

She has gone down in golfing folklore for her feats in the game, which include winning six major championships.

Having played collegiate golf at Florida International University, she joined the LPGA Tour in 1974 and went on to record 31 wins in total.

Which major championships did Pat Bradley win?

Among her other phenomenal achievements is the small matter of the career grand slam, representing one of only six women to record that stunning milestone.

Fittingly, Bradley also boasts fantastic team golf experience, both as a player and as a captain, with her nephew now following suit.

She represented the US Solheim Cup team as a player on three occasions, before captaining the team in 2000.

Keegan meanwhile has been a Ryder Cup player on two occasions, although lost in both 2012 and 2014 during a period of European dominance.

And like his Auntie, he has made his mark at major championship level, winning the PGA Championship in 2011.

But a whole other challenge now awaits him and his players, many of whom are in the field for this week’s Procore Championship on the PGA Tour.
