Rory McILroy’s tie for 19th place at Open US that has just been sufficient was sufficient to win an automatic place in the European Ryder Cup team for this year’s competition with Black Bethpage in Farmingdale, NY
McILroy, who obtained his place through the list of European points in a qualification period that started in August, will make his eighth consecutive appearance in the European team. He helped lead the team to five victories in his seven chances.
The 36 -year -old man in Northern Ireland is currently n ° 2 in the world ranking, a place that was solidified by a Masters victory in April, as well as victories in the players’ championship and Pebble Beach earlier this season.
Captain of Europe Luke Donald will chair what will be a team of 12 men when the Ryder Cup takes place from September 26 to 28. McILroy is the first of the six automatic qualifications in Europe, with Donald ready to make six captain choices.
“It is always a huge honor to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup, so it means a lot of qualification for my eighth in a row and to be part of the Luke in Bethpage team,” said McILroy in a statement.
Europe’s automatic qualification point process ends on August 24.
Scottie Scheffler became the first automatic qualification for the American team after winning the commemorative tournament earlier this month.
