00:00So, Keegan, I just want to rewind about nine days.

00:06Let's take ourselves back to the St. Jude Championship and towards the weekend, so Saturday

00:11and Sunday.

00:12You know, you're in a position to where you're trying to make it into the BMW Championship

00:17just enough for an opportunity to have a chance to win.

00:20And we all know what's at stake when you make the BMW Championship.

00:24You're in all the signature events.

00:25And for you, you're going to be the captain of the Ryder Cup team, just like not having

00:30the stress of having to worry about sponsors exemptions, having a schedule, all those things

00:35that us players think about.

00:37For you now, you made it, your season is set.

00:40But I talked to Shane Lowery and he said he played with you on Saturday and he said he

00:44has never, ever seen Keegan Bradley this like stressed out about, you know, trying to make

00:51it to the BMW.

00:52It was so horrible.

00:57It felt like, you know, that tour school feeling of just like, there's no enjoyment.

01:01It's just like you're clocking in, you're going to work and you're trying to do this.

01:04And, you know, I went into Memphis 39th.

01:07I was closer to making the tour championship than to missing, you know, so.

01:10You think you're safe.

01:11Yeah.

01:12And then all of a sudden you're not.

01:13Once he checks that official projected thing, you're like, oh my God.

01:16And, you know, out here on the PGA Tour, there's scoreboards everywhere.

01:20So I just try my best not to look at these, but like all of a sudden you're like looking

01:24at a bird and then you see 52nd projected on the FedEx Cup and then I want to die.

01:29So like it was, it was brutal because, you know, now with a family, with kids, like,

01:34you know, like not having the structure of the schedule would have been horrible.

01:38And I also was, those are my favorite tournaments to play in.

01:42And then top that with what I want to do in my career, but then also with what I want

01:47to do with the Ryder Cup.

01:48Like I want to be.

01:49Yeah.

01:50I want to be around the guys in the locker room.

01:52I want to be around the guys, you know, playing a practice round, seeing them play on Thursday,

01:59like all little things that I may have missed out on and what a relief it was.
