Sepp Straka takes massive leap in European Ryder Cup standings
While Rory McIlroy was surely rooting for buddy Shane Lowry on Sunday evening at the Truist Championship, that didn't stop him from congratulating one of his other European Ryder Cup teammates, Sepp Straka, after Straka's second win of the season. This victory, though, meant a little more. 'At least this win counts for Ryder Cup points,' McIlroy told Straka as he walked off the 18th green at Philadelphia Cricket Club, having just edged Lowry by a shot. Straka captured The American Express back in January, but that was before qualification began for this September's Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. Straka's win Sunday vaulted him 15 spots to fifth in the standings; the top six as for Aug. 24, the Monday after the Betfred British Masters, earn automatic berths onto Luke Donald's 12-man team. 'Really, really happy for that,' said Straka, who debuted two years ago in Rome, going 1-2. 'I've been kind of behind in the points because of that win at Amex not counting. I knew that if I just kept playing good golf, I would have a chance to be there. I'm sure this will probably help me out with the rankings a lot. So very grateful, and hopefully I can keep the good play going and keep getting some more points.' Here is a look at the rest of the European point standings, which McIlroy tops: 1. Rory McIlroy 2.

Scottish Championship to take place at Trump course
The Scottish Championship has been added to the DP World Tour's 2025 global schedule, taking place at Trump International Golf Links Scotland in Aberdeenshire from 7-10 August. It will be the first time the Tour has visited the venue, which was designed by Martin Hawtree and opened in 2012. "It promises to be an excellent venue for the return of the Scottish Championship to our schedule," said Guy Kinnings, CEO of the DP World Tour. The Scottish Championship was last played in October 2020 when Adrian Otaegui finished four shots clear of Matt Wallace at Fairmont St Andrews. Following the Scottish Championship, the tour's 'closing swing' will conclude with the Danish Golf Championship at Fureso Golf Klub in Copenhagen. That will be the last opportunity for players to qualify for the 'Back 9', the second phase of the DP World Tour's season, which begins with the Betfred British Masters hosted by Nick Faldo at The Belfry, from 21-24 August.
