Q. Keegan, the pundits said you had no shot today. Even in defeat, what did your players show you on this Sunday?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: Well, they're a tough group. We didn't play our best the first couple days, but we did today. That was really fun today. We had all of our fun in one day here at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage.
Q. Scottie was in tears talking about your leadership and the bond of brothers on Team USA. What kind of praise is that when you're hearing that from the best player in the world?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: It means a lot to me. I really enjoyed doing this. I never thought I'd get to be a Ryder Cup captain. I'll never forget it. It was amazing.
Q. You know in sports sometimes there's Monday morning quarterbacking. In retrospect is there anything you might have done differently?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: Yeah, I think I would have set the course up a little different. But I don't know, they played better than us. They deserved to win. They're a great team. In my eyes, Luke Donald is the best European Ryder Cup captain of all time.
Q. If it's even possible, how has this event grown even more for you personally?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: I've got a real weird relationship with this tournament. A lot of heartbreak. But I still love it, and I love the guys. I love being out here again. I don't know if I'll ever get to do this again.
I'll remember this the rest of my life.
