Jordan Spieth WD marks the latest Sweve in Murky Ryder Cup’s photo

You can hear the disappointment in the voice of Jordan Spieth as he explained what had happened.

“Everything was great in my gym session, and I have been very, very excited to go out and play. Things are getting better and better …” he said. This is when it began: His right scapula closed, and as he continued to warm, the embarrassment spread to the rest of the upper back and his neck. He threw his heat and received treatment, but to no avail – after he was on the course he simply deteriorated. He was crushed through a dozen holes, staring at the back of the background, trying to deceive his body to swing through it, but to no avail.

“It’s a strange situation with an event raised and without cuts and points and important items,” he said. “Likes like, well, what is weaknesses, if I can end, just ending, even if it’s ugly? And then I hit my intention at 13, and this really hurt.”

Spieth is nothing if not a grinder; He said he was never withdrawn from an event to any level. He was heartbroken, then, to hear him asking an official what he had to do before making a wheelchair.

“How does this work? I’ve never done this before.”

As he spoke with the media After WDSpieth called it “too disappointing”. This was his 10th beginning in 12 weeks, one of the most busy stretches of his career – but he would fry his handcuffs in a T23 in Oakmont and surrounded this tournament on his calendar. “That’s a big week,” he said Wednesday. Great in his intention to qualify for the season ending the season. And great in his attempt to make the US Ryder Cup team. He is currently no. 37 in FedEx Cup and No. 22 at Ryder Cup points, raising, but on the outside searching inside.

What are the chances of spieth Ryder Cup?

If you are thinking, Hey, wait a minute – it’s just June. Isn’t the Ryder Cup enough away? Then I would say you have a straight point. But 1. The Ryder Cup is not just an event, it is an interesting way to cornize the actual sequence of Top Tour Pro Peking. And 2. In fact it is not THAT Far. Travelers this week are the last siggy of the season tour (signature event, if you feel official) and open in two weeks will be the last major of the year. Times for everyone in the bubble, especially for Spieth, whose wife Annie is expecting their third child in the coming weeks.

The numbers suggest that Spieth’s chances of making it in Bethpage are somewhere in the coin range. (Golf Date has it to 56 percent entering this week.) But there is reason to like his chances. Since the return of Spieth from Operation to AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM he has played 15 events, losing only two cuts while recording four Top-10 and three extras. Add to what Spieth’s made the last five teams of Ryder Cup (in other words, he has never lost one) and you will realize that he would get the benefit of doubt if he is on the difference. But Spieth’s WD is the latest in a list of Ryder Cup complex questions facing the US team of Keegan Bradley.

Let’s answer some of the others.

Who will be on this US team Ryder Cup, anyway?

Scottie Schefflerfor sure. He has nearly 27,000 Ryder Cup points; No one else has more than 12,500. He is also the best player in the world with plenty.

Okay, who else?

Xander Schauffle’s In second place in the ranking and he will be in Bethpage. Bryson dechambeau It has been a sustainable sustainable contender and will also be there. Justin Thomas AND Collin Morikawa are to that other degree of almost definitely. AND Jj spaunUS Open Open Win increased it to that range – he is no. 3 on Ryder Cup’s list of points at the moment. But they are not yet guaranteed, and after them things become even more strange.

Who is NO In the conversation you would think it would be?

Apparently the best player in the last years of the US team golf, Max Homalost. Hunter Brooks koepka has fought – though he showed signs of life in the US Open. Two other big last winners and members of the 2023 US team, Wyndham clark AND Brian Harmanare ways out of conversation. And fan favorites like Rickie Fowler (also in that team of 2023) and Our arguments (In the two teams before that) they did not make much noise.

Who is WITHIN Conversation you wouldn’t expect?

Spaun, for one thing. But the leader of this contingent is Ben griffinwho has played spectacular golf in recent months and has chosen two PGA Tour wins – not to mention a whole bunch of ball speed. He is the leader of the late Bloomers who is now loading ahead of this conversation, a list that also includes Maverick Mcnealy AND Andrew Novak. Discard in the winner of the farmers and the PGA Championship race Harris English And you have five boys currently within the 12 money you may not have chosen at the beginning of the year.

Someone else should keep my eye?

That’s the thing – you need to keep your attention essentially all. Patrick Cantlay It seems most likely to do this team; We will put it a little ahead Sam Burns AND Russell Henley As for the boys we have seen in the stars and stripes lately. There is Daniel Bergerwho has been extremely stable and is only a high couple ending away from a bed. Cameron Young It is growing, and I like its chances better than most. Akshay Bhatia It’s talented. And then there is an almost endless list of boys who can be heated in a timely Denny McCarthy, JT Poston, Ryan Gerard, Davis Thompson, Keith Mitchell, Max Grayserman, Michael Kim, Tom Hoge And about a dozen other boys – and force their way to the conversation. And then, of course, there is the biggest question for everyone:

What are the chances of the captain of Keegan Bradley players?

I am stuck whenever we Captain Keegan Bradley ask about it just because there is nothing he can really add to the conversation; This is like the type of things that he just has to deviate for a while we talk to each other and speculate on parts such as this, at least for the coming weeks. But in a world where Bradley was not The American captain he would be very much in conversation about his first appearance by the Ryder Cup team since 2014. This is a shocking opportunity.

What can I do with this information?

You can write your local congressman, seeking responsible leadership. Mostly I would suggest to ruin a little more for your favorite boys in travelers this weekend and beyond, knowing that every point counts a little more in their attempt to be a main character when madness comes to Bethpage this September.

Can you simply anticipate your last team so we can laugh with you when you are completely wrong?

Of course! Why not. Here is my foreseen team, which I reserve the right to change tomorrow, the next day and every day after that:

Scottie Scheffler
Xander schauuffle
Bryson dechambeau
Collin Morikawa
Justin Thomas
Ben griffin
Jj spaun
Patrick Cantlay
Sam Burns
Cameron Young
Jordan Spieth
KEEGAN BRADLEY
