United States captain Keegan Bradley has described Europe’s Ryder Cup display as one of the greatest away performances in any sport as they moved to the verge of glory.
Luke Donald’s men have put in a record-breaking display over the first two days at Bethpage Black to lead 11.5-4.5, which leaves them needing just two and a half points to retain the title they won in Rome two years ago.
But Bradley still believes the United States can still produce the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history even though they need to win 10 out of 12 singles matches on Sunday.
Bradley said: “Of course I want to go out there and make history. They all do.
“But I think you’ve got to relish in the opportunity to get out on the course and play for your country at a course like this, at a venue like this.
“I think it’s something that you’ve got to look forward to. We feel good.
“The Europeans have played incredible. It’s been really impressive to see. This is, you know, for me, being up close, I think it’s one of the best performances of a road team in any sport.
“They have played incredible. They have played great.”
He continued: “Sometimes as a competitor, as an athlete, you have to take a step back and again sort of tip your cap to something like that.
“They have been a tough team. They have partnered great. And Luke is an incredible captain. He’s done a great job this week.
“The Europeans have just played like way better.
Sometimes that happens, but we’ve still got another day.
“Who knows? You never know. We can go out there and win. What do we got to win, 10? Wild stuff happens in sports all the time.”
