HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Scottie Scheffler is the first American to mathematically clinch a spot on the Ryder Cup team. Brooks Koepka could be right behind him. Koepka wound up playing a practice round with captain Zach Johnson. He says it was coincidence. Koepka’s runner-up finish in the Masters and victory in the PGA Championship have him at No. 3 in the standings. The British Open is last chance for LIV players to earn Ryder Cup points. For the Solheim Cup, major champions Allisen Corpuz and Lilia Vu, along with Nelly Korda, have earned one of the seven automatic spots on the U.S. team.
