It has been the topic in the golf world ever since his appointment was announced, and now some players are coming out in support of U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley possibly serving as both the headman and as a player for the biennial competition set for Sept. 26-28 at Bethpage Black.

Justin Rose, of course, was the biggest winner at last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship. It's hard to beat the combination of collecting a $3.6 million check, clinching a Ryder Cup spot on Team Europe and clutching the sweet trophy.

Keegan Bradley has a chance to be the first Ryder Cup playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963. And he has Jack Nicklaus to thank for that.
