Sometimes, the stars align exactly as they were supposed to all along.

Take Keegan Bradley, the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, as the perfect example. He leads the American team against Europe in the 45th edition of the matches this week at Bethpage Black.

“This has been in Keegan’s soul since he was a little boy,” Bradley’s aunt Pat Bradley — who won 31 times on the LPGA Tour, including six majors — told The Post. “Keegan was born for this. He has been on this journey since he was a little boy.”

The defining moment on the journey took place in 1999 at the Country Club in Brookline, where the U.S. Ryder Cup team made the greatest comeback in the event’s history to overtake Europe. Keegan was a 13-year-old propped up on his father Mark’s shoulders, so he could see the golf over the massive crowds.
