Patrick Cantlay says he's 'definitely interested' in watching the Ryder Cup drama unfold over the next few weeks. 

Cantlay finds himself in a strong position to automatically qualify for Zach Johnson's U.S. side ahead of the second leg of the 2023 FedEx Cup playoffs

Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark have already secured automatic qualifying berths. 

Cantlay is currently ranked third in the standings and is considered a lock but there are a litany of names jockeying for position. 

Behind Cantlay are Brian Harman, LIV Golf's Brooks Koepka and Max Homa

Further down the list include the likes of Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas. You've also got Lucas Glover, Bryson DeChambeau and Keegan Bradley who staked his claim with an impassioned speech about why he loves the Ryder Cup. 

"I'm definitely interested," Cantlay said about watching the 'drama' unfold, adding:

"I know Zach is keeping a close eye, and he obviously has played a ton of great golf out here, so there's no one more capable of making educated picks than him, and I trust him, and he'll do a great job."

It's not unreasonable to suggest that captain Johnson's headache has turned into a migraine.

Cantlay continued:

"This go-around seems like it's maybe tougher than years past. There's a lot of horses for a limited amount of slots. It's going to be a tough pick for him or tough set of picks."

Despite stating he trusts Johnson to make the right choices, Cantlay said he wouldn't be afraid to offer his honest thoughts. 

He said: "If Zach asks me, I'll definitely give him my unfiltered opinion. But like I said, I trust Zach. He's very smart and very equipped."
