Boost
The US team might have received a boost when Chris DiMarco surged into sixth place on the points list after his second-place finish to Woods at the British Open. Even before the championship finished, DiMarco said if he was forced to choose between winning his first major and making the Ryder Cup team for a second time, he would opt for the team.
Last year, DiMarco rolled in the decisive putt to help the US defeat the International team at the Presidents Cup.
"Obviously, winning a major would always solidify your career," DiMarco said. "Playing for your country is probably the greatest thing I've ever done in golf. It would mean that much more for me to come back and go to the K Club and be a part of that team. Once you've been on a team, you don't want to miss any."
