In his latest win at Memphis, Glover was fiercely challenged by Patrick Cantlay, who went head-to-head with a 15-under-par. Yet, despite his win, Glover’s position on the team remains up in the air, while Cantlay’s seems more secure. What’s coming up next for Glover?

Golf is unpredictable. Looking at the FedEx Cup game in Memphis, Glover pulled off a fantastic shot in the closely fought playoff to take home the winner’s check. However, it looks like it’s his opponent who has stamped his place in the Ryder Cup.

With his second-place finish, Patrick Cantlay has earned and secured a spot on the Ryder Cup USA team, which will compete in Rome next month. The 31-year-old’s consistent performances have secured his placement, and with only one qualifying event remaining, Cantlay’s place in the top six is secure.

Glover is still ranked 16th, raising questions about the selection procedure. You’d think that winning such a large tournament would secure his spot in the Ryder Cup, but he’s still not in the top spots.
