A 10th place finish at the Open Championship, backing up his runners-up placing at the Scottish Open the previous week has moved Adam Scott into position to be one of six automatic qualifiers for the upcoming President’s Cup.
Scott, who would be making his 11th appearance in the bi-annual matches against the US, moved from 16th on the official rankings to sixth with his two outstanding results in Scotland.
He joins Jason Day, the Queenslander now fourth on the list, in a prime position to be on Captain Mike Weir’s International Team for the matches to be played at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada from September 26.
On the outside of the top six automatic qualifiers, while hoping to be one of Weir’s six captain’s picks are Lee (currently 7th) and Cameron Davis (9th).
Others in line for automatic International Team selection include Hideki Matsuyama, Sungjae Im, Tom Kim and Byeong Hun (Ben) An.
The International Team qualifying period comes to an end on August 25 at the conclusion of the BMW Championship on the US PGA Tour.
