Bubba Watson continues to have a strong 2018 as he picks up his third win of the season with an incredible Sunday performance at the Travelers Championship.
That win bumps him up two spots to No. 5 in the Ryder Cup USA standings and keeps him firmly in position to pick up one of the eight automatic qualifier spots for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Bryson DeChambeau moved back into the top 8 with his T-9 finish in Connecticut. Stewart Cink (up 19 spots), Beau Hossler (up 13 spots) and J.B. Holmes (up 11 spots) each took big jumps up the rankings with their T-2 finishes.
