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.

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.

Keegan Bradley will have to decide whether he'll choose himself for this year's Ryder Cup team, which would make him the first playing captain in the past 62 years.
