Where does J.J. Spaun stand in Ryder Cup points, Official World Golf Ranking?
Winning the U.S. Open comes with many perks:
$4.3 million paycheck
10-year exemption into the U.S. Open
5-year exemption into the other majors and The Players
5-year PGA Tour exemption
It's all big for champion J.J. Spaun, particularly the last one as Spaun was only recently worried about losing his livelihood.
That's no longer a concern. Spaun, also The Players runner-up, has earned over $9.6 million this season and is sixth in FedExCup points. There's plenty more money to come and plenty of opportunities — well-earned opportunities.

Spaun is now eighth in the Official World Golf Ranking, a jump of 17 spots. He's moved up 10 spots in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings and is third, with the top 6 earning automatic spots after the conclusion of the second FEC playoff event, Aug. 17.
Of note on the European side, Tyrrell Hatton moved to second in the standings thanks to his T-4 at Oakmont, and Robert MacIntyre climbed seven spots to fourth with his runner-up. Like the U.S., six players will qualify and the captain will have another six picks.

Flailing Sergio Garcia Clinches Spot at The Open Despite Poor LIV Dallas Finish
Sergio Garcia showed signs of his game recovering at LIV Golf Dallas after three months of largely disappointing results. The Spaniard finished tied for 25th at Maridoe Golf Club with a 3-over score for the tournament. However, Garcia's most important achievement of the week was securing his spot in The Open Championship, the final major of the season. "I'm excited about it, and hopefully I'll play well," he said after his final round performance. Garcia literally had to wait until the final hole of LIV Golf Dallas to secure his ticket to The Open. At the start of the round, David Puig was tied for fourth and had he finished solo fourth or better, he would have overtaken his compatriot and qualified himself. However, Puig faded during the third round and dropped nine places to 13th. After the Dallas event, Garcia sits fifth in the league's individual standings, behind Joaquin Niemann, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Patrick Reed. As you may recall, the R&A implemented a new policy this season: a direct spot in The Open Championship field is awarded to the highest-ranked player among the top five in LIV Golf who is not otherwise exempt. The ticket falls to Garcia, as Niemann (top 25 in the 2024 DP World Tour's Race to Dubai), Rahm (major winner in the last five years), DeChambeau (major winner in the last five years), and Reed (runner-up in the International Series Macau) are already qualified. "It's going to be my second time playing at Royal Portrush, and it's obviously nice," Garcia said about his opportunity to play in the Open Championship. "It's one of the goals that you have at the beginning of the year, to try to play as many majors as you can with the limitations that we get." "I didn't help myself very much the last three months, but I'm glad that I got enough work done in the first third of the year, I guess, in the first part of the season." Earlier this season, Sergio Garcia named the Open Championship as his "favorite major" and declared his firm intention to qualify through the new option introduced by the R&A. Although his early-season results put him on the right path to achieving that goal-one win and two top-10 finishes in the first five tournaments-he hasn't been the same since April. In the three events immediately preceding Dallas, his best finish was a tie for 38th in Virginia. Adding to that slump, he missed the cut at the Masters Tournament, finished tied for 67th at the PGA Championship, and failed to qualify for the U.S. Open. This will mark Garcia's 26th appearance at The Open Championship, where he has finished in the top 10 ten times, including two runner-up finishes (2007, 2014), his best results to date.

Wimbledon: 2-time runner-up Ons Jabeur quits during her first-round match after a medical timeout
LONDON (AP) — Two-time Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur retired during her first-round match Monday after taking a medical timeout, the latest issue for her during an injury-filled season. Jabeur, a 30-year-old from Tunisia, quit playing while trailing Viktoriya Tomova 7-6 (5), 2-0. Jabeur was visited by a trainer in the first set. At one point, she sat on her sideline seat and cried into a towel. 'I wasn't expecting not to feel good. I have been practicing pretty well the last few days. But I guess these things happen,' Jabeur said afterward. 'I'm pretty sad. Doesn't really help me with my confidence and what I keep pushing myself to do even though it was a very tough season for me. I hope I can feel better.' She lost to Elena Rybakina in the 2022 final and to Marketa Vondrousova in the 2023 final. Jabeur also was a finalist at the 2022 U.S. Open, losing to Iga Swiatek. Jabeur's 2024 season ended early because of a shoulder injury and she's dealt with leg problems this year.
