The Ryder Cup is overshadowing everything proper now, is not it? The Euro race is trickier to discern out, due to the fact one of a kind points lists should be juggled -- and that is a bit past my puny mind this night -- the US team is lots greater straightforward.
The Top eight on the US factors list are a lock. Here are numbers nine thru 20 on that list. The first column suggests their role on the Barclays after the primary spherical, both score and function within the subject:
| +2, T87 | 09 | Hunter Mahan | 4,082.228 |
| -2, T26 | 10 | Steve Stricker | 4,015.069 |
| E, T52 | 11 | Jim Furyk | 3,369.616 |
| -4, T8 | 12 | Rickie Fowler | 3,313.338 |
| -1, T35 | 13 | Brandt Snedeker | 3,176.787 |
| -1, T35 | 14 | Bo Van Pelt | 3,152.315 |
| -4, T8 | 15 | Dustin Johnson | 3,040.020 |
| +2, T87 | 16 | Robert Garrigus | 2,604.580 |
| E, T52 | 17 | Bill Haas | 2,546.017 |
| +2, T87 | 18 | Ben Curtis | 2,457.284 |
| +3, T97 | 19 | Scott Piercy | 2,416.346 |
| E, T52 | 20 | Kyle Stanley | 2,341.219 |
If you go along with the contemporary thinking that Furyk and Stricker will make the team with out query, the 2 gamers with the best shot at the remaining spots might must be Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson. I suspect those two gamers would be the ones most fanatics wager Captain DL3 is most likely to select.
However, Sneds and Van Pelt are in role to make a ultimate-minute push. Both were playing reasonably well currently.
Sneds has one win and a T3 at the Open Championship, even though he simplest has 2 different Top10s to go together with them.
Van Pelt got a win closing October and has 2 runner-united states of americathis 12 months to go along with nine Top10s -- 3 in his final five starts. Add his length into the equation (he is 39th on Tour) and I'd have to say he's the maximum likely spoiler in the 9-20 group.
Mahan surely wishes to get his act in equipment. He's simplest got one Top10 seeing that his final win at the start of April. As good a participant as Mahan is, DL3 might be searching out anyone on a bit greater of warm streak.
The remaining-minute scramble should be thrilling!
