Cameron Young thrust himself into the Ryder Cup conversation with his victory Sunday at the Wyndham Championship.
While the top six remained the same ahead of the post-BMW cutoff for automatic qualification, the captain’s pick race continues to get hotter. Young rose five spots to No. 15 in U.S. points, ahead of past Ryder Cuppers such as Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns.
Assuming the current top six – Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau and Harris English – qualify via points or a pick, there are arguably a dozen or so contenders still for picks onto the 12-man team. Here is a closer look:
