Career advancement for Harris English as he soars to a new career-high world ranking following his runner-up finish at The Open.
Harris English's Ryder Cup Dream Nears as Impressive Season Continues
In a thrilling display of golf, Harris English finished as the runner-up at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush, four strokes behind Scottie Scheffler. The second-place finish earned English 60 world ranking points, propelling him to the eighth spot in the world rankings.
Before The Open, English's career-high ranking was achieved in July 2021 when he held the tenth position. However, a hip surgery in 2022 forced him to miss four months of the season, causing his ranking to dip to 90 in February 2023.
Despite the setback, English's determination has paid off. His impressive performance at The Open, coupled with his previous achievements, including a win at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2023, has solidified his position as a formidable player on the tour.
English's consistent performances have placed him fifth on the men's combined Major leaderboard for the year. More significantly, his strong showing at The Open has secured him the sixth and final automatic qualifying place for the Ryder Cup.
The Ryder Cup, scheduled to take place at Bethpage Black between September 26 and 28, is now less than a month away for English. He had stated that his two goals this year were to make it to the Tour Championship and make the Ryder Cup team. With his current ranking and consistent performances, it seems his dream is within reach.
Tommy Fleetwood currently holds the seventh spot in the world rankings, just one place behind English. However, the qualifying period for the Ryder Cup ends after the BMW Championship on 17 August. If English maintains his current form, he could potentially overtake Fleetwood and secure the last automatic qualification spot for Team Europe.
English's final round at The Open saw him admit a place in the Ryder Cup is in his sights. His impressive season shows no signs of tailing off, and golf fans can expect him to continue his strong performances in the upcoming tournaments.
English's journey from a ranking of 90 to a potential spot on the Ryder Cup team is a testament to his resilience and dedication. His comeback season has been nothing short of inspiring, and golf enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting to see how he performs in the remaining tournaments before the Ryder Cup.
