With his fifth career win, and third of the 2020-21 PGA Tour season, Patrick Cantlay not only locked up the No. 1 seed in the FedExCup playoffs, he secured the final automatic qualifying spot for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

The California native will make his Ryder Cup debut at Whistling Straits in two weeks.

“It’s nice to get in on points,” said Cantlay. “I’m really looking forward to [the Ryder Cup]. I’ve heard so much about it and watched it growing up. I’m sure it will be everything I’ve imagined and more. I will lock in there, and hopefully we’ll get a victory.”

The top six players who secured the automatic qualifying on Captain Steve Stricker’s team are (in order): Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Cantlay.

Stricker will make his six captain’s picks on Sunday, following the conclusion of the Tour Championship.
