Cup veterans Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk are widely expected to be included in that quartet, leaving players such as Mahan, Fowler, Snedeker, Nick Watney, Dustin Johnson and Bo Van Pelt to vie for the remaining two spots.
Watney advanced his claims in style with a three-shot victory at The Barclays tournament in Farmingdale, New York, on Sunday, but readily concedes he was on the outside looking in at the start of last week. “I haven’t performed how I would have liked this year as far as making that team,” said Watney.
“But it’s out of my control so all I can do is try to get ready to play (here) and see where the chips fall.
“Someone told me that Davis said he wanted a hot player, and we still have a week to go. I’d love to be on the team.”
Snedeker has also produced good form in a bid to secure a late Ryder Cup call-up by Love, finishing second at The Barclays for his fifth top-10 of the year on the PGA Tour.
“Ryder Cup’s definitely on my mind, but I’m not letting it affect the way I play,” said Snedeker.
