Harris English moves into top 6 of U.S. Ryder Cup standings. Who else climbed after British?
It started with his T-2 finish at the PGA Championship. Then he finished T-12 at the Memorial, T-4 at the Travelers and capped it with a solo second at the 2025 British Open, finishing four shots behind Scottie Scheffler at Royal Portrush.
His finish Sunday vaulted him four spots up the U.S. Ryder Cup standings to sixth, the final automatic spot to make Team USA for the biennial competition in two months at Bethpage Black. Scheffler, the world No. 1, is the only player already on the team via points. Next month, the top six in the standings will also earn automatic spots after the BMW Championship.
The British Open was the last chance for players to earn large point totals, and English capitalized. Another player who cashed in was Chris Gotterup, his solo third moving him up 19 spots to 22nd on the list.
Captain Keegan Bradley sits 10th in the points list, but with his recent play, fans have clamored for him to use a pick on himself. Time will tell to see whether that happens.
Only four more weeks remains for golfers to automatically earn their spots on team USA, but for a majority of players trying to take on Team Europe, they're going to have to show Bradley why they deserve a captain's pick with their play.
Here's a look at the updated United States Ryder Cup standings after the British Open:

These five big names and fan favorites will miss out on the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs
And then there were 70. This week's FedEx St. Jude Championship kicks off the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs and only the top 70 players from the 2025 season have qualified. Rory McIlroy decided to take a pass on the event at TPC Southwind in Memphis this week, so only 69 golfers will actually be teeing it up. Sunday night, the top 50 will then advance to the BMW Championship. So while McIlroy qualified but will skip, some other big names won't be there because they didn't play their way into the postseason. Which big names from the PGA Tour aren't in the FedEx Cup Playoffs? A sentimental favorite after battling back from brain surgery, Woodland was on the right side of the top 70 for parts of the weekend at the Wyndham Championship but he ultimately came up two spots short of the postseason. Woodland played 20 events in 2025 and made 14 cuts but had just one top 10. His best finishe was a tie for second at the Texas Children's Houston Open but since a T-11 at the Charles Schwab Challenge at the end of May, Woodland posted finishes of MC, MC, T-36, T-46, T-60, T-20 and T-23. An was 16th heading to the Tour Championship after a 2024 season in which he made 22 starts and made 18 cuts along with more than $5.8 million. In 2025, An made 15 cuts in 23 starts and earned less than half of what he did a year ago. He had a T-6 and a T-8 this season but his average finish in the events where made the cut was just above 39th. While Scott extended his consecutive majors played streak in 2025 (the British Open was his 97th straight), he did not make the postseason. A year ago, he reached Atlanta and tied for fourth, one of the five previous FedEx Cup playoffs he reached. Homa made just 11 cuts in 20 outings in 2025, including five in a row in the spring. He kept plugging away and after a T-5 at the John Deere Classic, he entered the opposite-field Barracuda Championship in an effort to earn more playoff points. A T-45 there and T-39 at the 3M Open didn't help and after entering the Wyndham last week in the 106th spot, he missed the cut to slide back five more spots. Outside of the John Deere, his best 2025 finish was a tie for 12th at the Masters but after making the PGA, he didn't qualify for the U.S. Open or the British Open. He made $1.2 million in 2025, a dropoff from the $3.8 million he made in 2024. Theegala made it to the Tour Championship a year ago, where he was 12th in the rankings heading into East Lake, but this year, he's battled some injuries. He had one withdrawal and five missed cuts in 18 starts. His WD came in May at the Truist Championship and he subsequently missed the cut in his next four starts. His last made cut in an individual cut came in late April at the RBC, where he finished 69th.
