Robert MacIntyre and Tyrrell Hatton have secured automated qualification to Europe’s Ryder Cup group for subsequent month’s matches at Bethpage Black, leaving only one assured place up for grabs.
Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood have been already certain to be on the group, so captain Luke Donald is aware of 5 of his gamers for the protection of the cup on September 26-28.
The sixth and remaining automated spot will go to Shane Lowry or Rasmus Hojgaard.
Lowry occupies No. 6 place in Europe’s factors checklist however may very well be overtaken by Hojgaard, who has one occasion left in qualifying — the British Masters beginning Thursday. Hojgaard wants to complete in a two-way tie for twenty ninth or higher to ensure his place on the group.
Lowry doesn’t have one other qualification occasion.
Donald will then have six captain’s picks to finish his group.
“Two nice characters and golfers again on Workforce Europe,” Donald posted on X on Monday about MacIntyre and Hatton. “Workforce is shaping up properly.”
MacIntyre completed second to Scottie Scheffler on the BMW Championship on Sunday and moved into second place within the Ryder Cup rankings for Europe.
Will probably be the Scot’s second Ryder Cup look. He was a part of the successful group on the Marco Simone membership outdoors Rome in 2023.
