McNealy finished T-28 at this past weekend's FedEx tournament in Memphis. A 74 on Saturday kept him from a top 10 finish.
Per Golf.com, it's up in the air at best for his Ryder Cup chances, even though his finish in Memphis was tied with JT, who is supposedly safely on the roster, and 1 shot behind Xander, who is supposedly a "lock":
"Team USA taking shape.
Let’s tier out the Americans.
Tier 1: ALREADY LOCKS BEFORE MEMPHIS (3)
Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele
Tier 2: JUST NEEDED PROOF OF LIFE; NOW THEY’RE IN (5)
J.J. Spaun (second place), Patrick Cantlay (T9), Russell Henley (T17), Collin Morikawa (T22), Justin Thomas (T28)
Tier 3: FINISHED T48 IN MEMPHIS BUT STILL HAS TO BE IN (1)
Harris English
Tier 4: ONE MORE SIGN OF LIFE IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS COULDN’T HURT (1)
Keegan Bradley
Tier 5: TRENDING UP (2)
Cameron Young, Ben Griffin
Tier 6: ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN (5)
Mav McNealy, Sam Burns, Andrew Novak, Chris Gotterup, Jordan Spieth
Ultimately all that chatter amounts to this: You’re skipping past Nos. 11, 12 and 13 on the below list and taking a hot hand (Young) and a proven killer (Cantlay). Up for debate is whether Bradley would like to sacrifice himself in the process…
