Harris English Moving Into Ryder Cup Position

“I feel like I'm a more well-rounded player now, and it's just about matching up everything,” English said after his best finish in the PGA Championship. “Got to get my short game a little tighter, got to get my putting a little more consistent, but I'm really happy with the way I'm hitting the ball right now.”

English has finished in the Top 10 in a major championship three times - all at the U.S. Open (4th in 2020 at Winged Foot GC, 3rd in 2021 at Torrey Pines GC, and T-8 in 2023 at L.A.C.C.), and his

65 (-6) is the lowest score of his major championship career (in terms of raw score and relation to par).

“Finally, I started having my caddie, E-Lar (Eric Larson), read some putts for me just to give me some confirmation on what it's doing and to keep myself from second-guessing myself, and it worked,” Harris said, pointing to a difference maker on Sunday. “Started making some putts and getting some momentum.”

Just outside the top six automatic qualifiers on the current Ryder Cup points list, English is in seventh place, moving up five spots. Of the top seven, he is one of only three players who have won on the PGA Tour in 2025, joining Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley.

“I’m gonna have USA finish one and two at least, which is great,” U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley said. “Teams starting to come together. “This team is starting to take shape. And every, every time we get past one of these majors, this points really show what the team's gonna look like.”

For Harris, the Ryder Cup is a goal.

“It's a big thought in my mind, playing at Whistling, once you make one of those teams, you never want to miss out,” Harris said. “It's just the pinnacle of our sport. It's definitely the forefront of my mind. I'm here to try to compete in a major championship, and however well it does with me and the Ryder Cup, I'm all for it.”
