Welcome to\u00a0GOLF.com\u2019s\u00a0\u201cSeen & Heard<\/a>\u201d video series, in which we give you an inside look at golf\u2019s biggest events through the eyes and ears of our onsite crew. On deck this week: the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick<\/em>, Scotland. Let\u2019s go!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesis Scottish Open week started out with a real bang with the bombshell news on Monday that Keegan Bradley would lead the U.S. Ryder Cup team as captain<\/a> for the 2025 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That announcement was making waves more than 3,000 miles away at The Renaissance Club, site of this week’s event where our Sean Zak was eager to get players’ takes on the selection. Zak called it a “shocking” announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first player to give his thoughts was PGA champ Xander Schauffele.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

1 ominous truth about Keegan Bradley as Ryder Cup captain<\/a><\/blockquote>\n By:<\/span>\n \n \n Sean Zak <\/a>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

“On the course, he\u2019s intense,” Schauffele said. That\u2019s just how he competes and how he is. I\u2019m sure as a captain he\u2019s going to have sort of a mixed bag. He won\u2019t be afraid and will get everyone going. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s coached or captained any other teams in his life, whether it\u2019s his kids\u2019 teams or something like that, but when someone is really passionate about something, they usually do really well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that Bradley is still very much in form, as the 19th-ranked player in the world and having been snubbed from the U.S. team for Rome a year ago<\/a>, Zak wondered if Schauffele and other players were thinking about the potential for Bradley to be a playing captain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schauffele couldn’t recall when that had last happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Yesterday, when I found out, I thought this is going to be so much fun. This is going to be chaotic,” Zak said. “And now I woke up today thinking this could be bad. It could be the craziest Ryder Cup of all time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the course, we joined James Colgan who, straight off a flight, played The Renaissance Club in the Tuesday pro-am with PGA Tour pro Matt Wallace and DP World Tour member Todd Clements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His caddie? GOLF multimedia wiz Darren Riehl. (Although Colgan, Riehl and their team finished dead last in the pro-am.)<\/p>\n\n\n

Xander Schauffele already has 1 suggestion for Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley<\/a><\/blockquote>\n By:<\/span>\n \n \n Josh Berhow <\/a>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

It was a baptism by fire to links golf for Colgan, but Zak and Riehl got their rounds in at a different style of UK layout: The Bruntsfield Short Hole Course, where the greens fees were free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clad in hoodies and shorts, our team enjoyed the pitch and putt course before heading to a nearby tavern for Riehl to enjoy his first ever Tennents Lager, a Scottish delicacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before calling it a day, Zak headed back to North Berwick and walked up the 18th hole of the namesake club’s West Links, one of his favorite places on earth, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
