Jordan Spieth is undeniably one of the most talented golfers on the planet. Yet, his play over the last year and a half has left plenty to be desired. As a result, Spieth has fallen off the map when it comes to Ryder Cup points.<\/p>\n
The three-time major champion put forth a strong effort at the Masters just over a week ago. He finished tied for 14th at 3-under par, but that did not move the needle much with regard to earning a spot on Team USA\u2019s roster.<\/p>\n
The latest standings were released on Monday, the day after Justin Thomas won the RBC Heritage<\/a>, snapping his PGA Tour drought.<\/p>\n Spieth is yet to crack the top 25, moving up two spots<\/a> to No. 30 after his T18 finish at the RBC Heritage.<\/p>\n The top six on the list automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup. That leaves six captain\u2019s picks for Keegan Bradley to make.<\/p>\n As it stands, Scottie Scheffler is atop the list<\/a> for obvious reasons. He is followed by Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau, Russell Henley, and the aforementioned Thomas.<\/p>\n Thomas just joined the list with his win on Sunday.<\/p>\n That is something Spieth is going to need to do to make any headway in the rankings. His last win ironically came back at the RBC Heritage three years ago.<\/p>\n The 13-time PGA Tour winner has had ups and downs since that time. Last year, it was revealed Spieth was dealing with a wrist injury<\/a> that required surgery.<\/p>\n The results have been all over the place since that time.<\/p>\n Jordan Spieth has two top 10s this year<\/a>, a T4 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and a T9 at the Cognizant Classic. He has a handful of other top 20 finishes, but also missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational and finished 59th at The PLAYERS Championship.<\/p>\n There are still five months left before Team USA\u2019s Ryder Cup roster will be finalized. But if he is unable to win a couple of events, it seems highly unlikely Spieth will climb enough to automatically qualify.<\/p>\n That means he would need to be one of Bradley\u2019s picks for the event.<\/p>\n Spieth has been a mainstay for Team USA, playing in all five Ryder Cups since 2014. If he wants to make it six, he will have to play far consistently well over the summer.<\/p>\n An upcoming trip to Quail Hollow for the PGA Championship will be his next chance to make a splash.<\/p>\n The post Jordan Spieth on wrong side of Ryder Cup roster despite Masters progress<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jordan Spieth is undeniably one of the most talented golfers on the planet.
