The most savage subplot of the third round of Saturday at the Tour Championship was US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley shooting the low round of the day, a seven under 63 who catapulted him in a challenging day in Lake East-and seemingly catapults it in his own list of Ryder CupAlso.
It can simply not be so simple. Because everyone else in conversation with him? They seem to be in quarrel.
Sunday marks the final audition for the Ryder US Cup contestants. While six automotive qualifiers make the team last week, Bradley and his staff will finish the team with the captain’s six elections this Wednesday. To simplify the issues, let us assume that no. 7 and 8 in the ranking, Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa, are Shooo. This leaves us with four points – and seven contestants fighting for them. Here is my best assumption of where they stay, from at least they are likely to make the team.
7. Need a miracle
Chris Gotterup probably won’t make this team Ryder Cup. But it would be sure to be fun if he did…
Gotterup is a spirit of clean air that exploded the season of Mcilroy and Scheffler with a win in Scottish Open that added it to this conversation to begin. He has nothing to lose and on Sunday he can play like her; He will start on Sunday T10 eight eight shots back. He has to blow Keegan Bradley’s mind on Sunday – and maybe even pass it on the board – have some chance to put the last place and bring a jersey to Long Island next month.
6. Perhaps there is also a need for a miracle
Maverick McNealy made a late statement with a third -place conclusion at last week’s BMW championship, switching to number 10 in Ryder Cup rankings in the process. He is also a scary holder, who always feels especially useful in the moments of the high -time Ryder cup. But I am thinking that two big strikes against him will be his absence from the experience of the US team and his lack of quarrel in diplomas. A recent accusation at the Tour championship may have put him in this conversation – but in T16, 10 shocks from the superiority, his candidacy feels less and less likely to me.
5. There is a need for a statement round – or any help
Sam Burns ended T4 at last week’s BMW, repeating the Ryder Cup conversation after a quiet month. He has some integrated advantages: he is certainly the best in the world, he was in the latest Ryder Cup team, he went 3-0-1 to last year’s President’s Cup, he is the best friends with the world no. 1. I currently have it as the last man-but in T7, a Sunday electric round could give captains the answer they all wanted.
4 should continue to do what you are doing
Cameron Young made his case on Friday afternoon.
“I think the latter form is a difficult kind to deny,” he said. “Besides this is definitely my home country, it is a golf course I love. Almostte almost exclusively a big championship place, and my great record is very good. So I think there are some points that if I had to make my issue (Bradley), they are things I would like to know.”
He is in the sixth place headed in the last round of Sunday. Stack that with its last three weeks win-5th? He would be difficult to leave, even as a rhyme of the Ryder Cup.
3 should continue to do what you are doing – and bets on himself
Keegan Bradley would be best served to forget his captain, forget his candidacy Ryder Cup and focus on one thing: trying to win the tournament on Sunday.
This feels like a shoot for the moon, the ground between the stars situation; After Saturday 63 he raised him to fourth place, he feels like Bradley just has to end a strong week to justify his choice.
Bradley said he knows that everything he decides will be controversial, which can actually release it. He knows that if the US team loses, he will be printed, whether in the team or not. If he really thinks he will improve his team’s chances – and his Saturday 63 seemed to suggest – he would do it.
1 and 2. You must stay vertical
Ben Griffin already felt like a blockage to make this team; He completed no.9 in the Ryder Cup rankings. And the short-back cuts in July feel like a distant memory given its nine most recent beginnings have been Top-12.
Patrick Cantlay is further in the Ryder Cup rankings at No. 15, but this is mainly because his season has been strong, but has lost a week of statement, with nine Top-15, but nothing better than T4. Add to his ability to attacks back to the team competition and the US leadership would try to get it in this team.
He had to show good health and reasonable form in the East Lake; Now he is going to the last round of Sunday.
If he stands, he should head to Bethpage. If he does a little more than that? It can be directed to Bethpage with $ 10 million in pocket.
