Barbasol finishing up today...6 players currently tied for the lead, including Hunter Mahan who hasn’t top 10’d in any event since 2015 and has fallen to 704 in the OWGR.
Anyways, Ryder Cup teams starting to really take shape following the Open. One last major where someone could shoot up with a win, but I think the current rankings are pretty close to what the teams will be.
US
Koepka, DJ, Reed, JT, Bubba, Spieth, Rickie, Webb are the current qualifiers.
DeChambeau, Phil, Schauffele, Kuchar, Kisner, Finau are 9-15. Tiger is 20.
Webb, Phil and Bryson are pretty close in points- I think all 3 are in (1 will qualify, the other 2 are captains picks). If he wants it (and I think he does) Tiger gets a pick 3. That leaves 1 spot for Kuchar, Xander, Kisner, Finau. Maybe inside track to Kuchar due to experience.
Europe
Molinari, Fleetwood, Hatton, Rose, Rahm, Noren, Rory, Casey are the 8 qualifiers.
Poulter, Sergio and Stenson (if he is health; guess he was playing with a bum wrist this week) probably get 3 picks. That leaves Fitzpatrick, Knox, RCB and maybe a few others jockeying for the last spot.
