Keegan Bradley heaps praise on Russell Henley, speaks about his Ryder Cup prospects: "He's a great guy"

At the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational, Russell Henley impressed golf fans, including Keegan Bradley, as he won the tournament after four rounds of action. In the tournament, which was held at the Bay Hill Golf Course, Henley scored 72-68-67-70 to beat Collin Morikawa, who finished second.

During an appearance on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, Bradley praised Russell Henley and spoke about his Ryder Cup prospects.

Keegan Bradley said:

"I mean Russell is the ultimate teammate. He's a great guy, great in the team room, but he's also somebody everyone wants to play with, has no weaknesses, Hits the ball great, putts it even better. He is fun to be around." [0:00 onwards]

Further, in the interview, Keegan Bradley spoke about the time Russell Henley played unbelievable golf along with Scottie Scheffler at the Presidents Cup. Bradley also mentioned he was impressed with the player Henley has become and even praised the latter for his humility.

Bradley concluded by saying:

"I am so proud of him. Texted him in the morning, just like, 'Dude, you won Bay Hill yesterday.' That's a big boy win. He's just a great guy... I'm just so proud of him and he'd be a good Ryder Cup teammate. " [0:41 onwards]
