Robert MacIntyre makes big Ryder Cup move after near loss at the US Open

Robert MacIntyre made a big jump in the auto-qualifying for the European Ryder Cup despite narrowly missing out on winning the 2025 US Open. The Scottish golfer had a fabulous outing at the recently concluded Major. However, he missed the title and settled in solo second place.

MacIntyre has jumped seven spots on the auto-qualification standings of the European Team for the Ryder Cup after the 2025 US Open. He is ranked fourth.

Ryder Cup Europe has shared the news on its X account, writing:

"Rising up the rankings ⬆️7️⃣ @robert1lefty moves into the automatic qualification places in the #TeamEurope Rankings."

Notably, only the top 6 in the standings will automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup to play for the European Team, while the other six will be the captain's picks. Rory McIlroy has already qualified for the upcoming biennial tournament, while Tyrrell Hatton jumped to second place, followed by Shane Lowry in third.

Sepp Straka and Rasmus Højgaard are also ranked in the top 6 of the European Team Ryder Cup standings. The top 6 after the 2025 Betfred British Masters will automatically secure their spots in the Ryder Cup.
