While that's still roughly two months out, the qualification period for the U.S. Team is almost up.

"Keegan can only change the overarching contract with Luke and Ryder Cup Europe's approval," a source told Telegraph Sport. "The contract between the teams includes things like how many vice-captains a team can have, etc. That is used year on year and captains rarely change that. But Keegan went to Luke with this clause and Luke generously agreed."

The World No. 1 was the only American player who had qualified automatically before the British Open, and then he won at Royal Portrush. Technically, then his chances of making the team are exactly the same as they were a week ago. Truly a shame he couldn't have done more at Portrush to impress Keegan.

DeChambeau's unreal final three rounds at Royal Portrush basically guaranteed him a spot no matter what happens in the next month. But this group is kind of fascinating -- English was on the 2021 team that won the Ryder Cup, Henley and Spaun would be rookies. You have to like having the world's best golfer on your squad.

The final major is in the books, and with it the last chance to earn beaucoup points to earn a place on the European Ryder Cup team, not to mention one of the last opportunities to impress captain Luke Donald.

Bob MacIntyre is confident of an automatic spot on the European Ryder Cup team in September after a strong showing at this year's Open Championship took him up to second in the standings.

MacIntyre and McIlroy both finished tied-seventh at The Open at Royal Portrush and the result on top of his runner-up finish at last month's US Open has all-but booked the Oban star’s place in Luke Donald's team for Bethpage.
