Although McNealy sits 8th in the current Ryder Cup standings, unless he wins a big event in the next couple months, McNealy will not be an auto-qualifier, which stop at the top 6. He is pretty far back from #6. Heck, he'd have to jump over Ben Griffin (#7) who has two wins and a runner-up this year and isn't even in the top 6. McNealy's name would go into the Keegan Bradley's hat as a potential captain's pick to fill out the team to it's full complement of 12 players.
Bigger picture, it's go time for Thorbjornsen (#101) and Bramlett (#137) if they want to keep their PGA cards. It's tougher this year, as the cut-off is now Top 100. Bramlett especially needs to play well as he has conditional status and doesn't get into every tournament, so needs to produce some consistent top 20 results when he tees it up. He, Vilips, Rodgers and Salinda are in the Canadian Open field this weekend.
