ATLANTA -- When Keegan Bradley returned home from his first Ryder Cup appearance in 2012, he couldn't open his suitcase following the Europeans' stunning 14½-13½ victory at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago.
Nearly 11 years later, the unopened bag, which holds an uncorked bottle of champagne, still sits in Bradley's garage.
"I thought for a while I'll never open it again," Bradley said this week. "So hopefully I get a chance to play on this team. If I don't, I'm going to be rooting hard. In years past it's been really hard for me to watch the Ryder Cup because I just haven't been in the conversation to be on the team.
