McIlroy has also closed the gap on world number one Scottie Scheffler – who spearheads the United States team in the Presidents Cup against an underdog Internationals team at Quail Hollow this week – and could conceivably regain the top ranking in the official world rankings at the Dunhill while Cameron Smith, the world number three, is going backwards after defecting to LIV.
These are early days yet in the European Ryder Cup standings but MacIntyre has moved into an automatic qualifying spot with his win in Italy. Shane Lowry, McIlroy and MacIntyre currently head the standings of the European points list, with Danny Willett, Jon Rahm and Matt Fitzpatrick occupying the three spots of the world points list.
“The golf course is tough. You’ve got to drive it well and you’ve got to do everything well . . . I’m playing on the golf course the Ryder Cup is going to be held and going against some of the best players in the world, but there is still a long, long way to go and I’ve started off [the qualifying] in perfect fashion. I can’t think of a better way for it to start than winning.”
