Robert MacIntyre, Tyrrell Hatton clinch automatic qualifying spots on European Ryder Cup team
He was unable to fend off Scottie Scheffler and win the BMW Championship, but Robert MacIntyre did earn himself an automatic qualifying spot on the European team for the 2025 Ryder Cup. MacIntyre and Tyrrell Hatton each officially made the squad on Monday when the team rankings were updated. In fact, MacIntyre is now second behind Rory McIlroy among the Euros. Tommy Fleetwood is No. 3, Justin Rose is No. 4 and Hatton is No. 5. That leaves just one automatic spot left, and the latest rankings show a flip at No. 6. Last week it was Sepp Straka, but he's now No. 7, while Shane Lowry is the new No. 6. The Betfred British Masters, this week's event on the DP World Tour, is the final tournament before the top six auto qualifiers are finalized. Then, it'll be up to European team captain Luke Donald to make his six selections to round out the 12-man squad for Bethpage in September.

FIFA seeks Houston volunteers for World Cup
Houstonians can now register to volunteer for the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. Why it matters: Houston, hosting seven matches next year, will be a part of the world's biggest soccer party. Volunteers will get to soak up the buzz, help keep things moving and be part of the chaos and fun. State of play: FIFA expects to have about 5,200 volunteers in Houston. Perks: Volunteers will get a World Cup uniform, a certificate and food and refreshments during shifts. How it works: Applications are open for people over 18. English fluency is required. Volunteers must be able to commit to eight shifts and be available during the full tournament. Tryouts for volunteers are planned later this year, and volunteer roles will be offered early next year. Volunteers will work at the media center, fan festivals and transportation centers. Training sessions are scheduled in the spring.

Ben Griffin Blames Creatine 'Overdose' for Derailing BMW Championship Run
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ben Griffin's final round at the BMW Championship was supposed to be his last push toward automatic Ryder Cup qualification. Instead, it became one of the strangest stories of the season. The PGA Tour pro entered Sunday needing a near-perfect round to climb from ninth to sixth in the Ryder Cup standings, but stumbled out of the gate with a triple bogey on the first hole and a double on the second. The video of his four-putt from inside 5 feet went viral within minutes, prompting speculation about nerves, some kind of pressure, or even injury. Ben Griffin just 4-putt from inside of 5 feet 💀 — Fore Play (@ForePlayPod) August 17, 2025 But the truth, as Griffin later revealed, was more shocking. "So, I take creatine as a supplement, and this time I didn't take it until I basically teed off on 1," Griffin told reporters after his Sunday round at Cave Valley. "I was at the end of my batch. I had basically a snowball of creatine, because it had been in my bucket for a month, and broke it up and put it in my water bottle." Griffin revealed he'd taken creatine on the course before without issue. But this time, he accidentally swallowed one of the hardened clumps, without drinking enough water to dissolve it. "I've never 'overdosed' on creatine before, but I think I did in the moment," he said as quoted in the transcript. "I started getting super shaky. I've never felt like that before and I felt like I had tremors." Creatine, a widely used supplement among athletes, helps supply energy to muscles during high-intensity activity. While generally safe in recommended doses, excessive intake, especially without hydration, can cause side effects. One that the two-time Tour winner faced. Griffin's symptoms hit fast. After the four-putt on No. 1, he hit his tee shot on No. 2 out of bounds and admitted to "freaking out."

"I hit the other one in play and then I was fine." From there, Griffin birdied seven of his final 12 holes, including a 55-footer on No. 17, to finish with a 1-under 69 and a tournament total of 3-under. That earned him a tie for 12th alongside Rory McIlroy and Harris English. But the damage was done. Griffin needed to shoot at least 8-under on Sunday to crack the top six in Ryder Cup points. He played the final 15 holes in 7-under, but his six-over start left him just short. "I told Alex (caddie) on 4, 5, I'm going to get back to even par and got back to under par," the 29-year-old stated during the post-round conference. "Pretty proud of myself." Griffin now sits ninth in the Ryder Cup standings and will need a captain's pick from Keegan Bradley to make the team. His season, however, has been thrilling. With wins at the Zurich Classic and Charles Schwab Challenge, plus top-10 finishes at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open, Griffin has climbed to No. 15 in the Official World Golf Rankings. He'll tee it up next week at the Tour Championship at East Lake, where the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings will compete for the season's final prize. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler, Griffin's childhood friend and the BMW Championship winner, finished at 15-under and took home $3.6 million. Scheffler will headline Team USA at Bethpage Black next month, while Griffin waits to see if his name is called on Aug. 27.
