Matt Fitzpatrick and Robert MacIntyre aim for Ryder Cup automatic spots at Omega European Masters

The race for the Ryder Cup selections is currently ongoing and many talented golfers are in the mix to qualify. Matt Fitzpatrick and Robert MacIntrye are two golfers who have the best chance to qualify for team Europe.

Team USA has been revealed by captain Zach Johnson, however, Europe captain Luke Donald will submit his admissions after the conclusion of the Omega European Masters during the weekend.

MacIntyre looks the most comfortable to secure the position as he currently reserves the spot behind Jon Rahm and Rory Mcllroy. While, Fitzpatrick will have to secure a seventh place finish or better to upset Tommy Fleetwood who isn't qualifying for the championship.

It's safe to assume that captain Luke Donald is impressed by both Robert MacIntyre and Matt Fitzpatrick and will offer one or the other the wild-card pick for the Ryder Cup team if they fail to qualify for the automatic spot.

MacIntyre's nearest rival is German golfer Yannik Paul who will undoubtedly need to win the upcoming DP World Tour event to replace the Scottish professional.

There are several other golfers in the running for the spot, however, they have a slight chance to make the cut. These include Poland's Adrian Meronk, Rasmus Hojgaard, and Adrian Otaegui.
