DeChambeau’s T-10 finish at Portrush impressed Bradley enough for Bradley to confirm to Sports Illustrated that DeChambeau will be among the 12 players on his squad.

Bryson DeChambeau was among the players receiving a personal message from American Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley at Royal Portrush this week.

Xander Schauffele has bounced back from a poor start to rise into second place in the Ryder Cup standings. He'll be on Team USA. JJ Spaun's US Open win has all but secured him a spot, the first rookie on the projected team. But from there, the standings tighten up.

Faldo had some interesting advice for the US captain, who obviously had dilemmas and is a bit unsure of how good he will be in both roles.
