Patrick Cantlay on Ryder Cup skipper? "I'll give him my unfiltered opinion"

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:

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

Cantlay continued:

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."
