Team USA is technically the underdog in the upcoming Ryder Cup, but I’ll take my chances with the nine players who automatically qualified at the conclusion of the PGA Championship.
Here are the players who are on the team. Captain Tom Watson will pick three additional players in early September to fill out the 12-man roster:
Bubba Watson
Rickie Fowler
Jim Furyk
Jimmy Walker
Phil Mickelson
Matt Kuchar
Jordan Spieth
Patrick Reed
Zach Johnson
Here are the next eleven players in the standings:
Jason Dufner
Ryan Moore
Brendon Todd

Chris Kirk
Webb Simpson
Harris English
Kevin Na
