It's early, but Furyk is second in U.S. Ryder Cup points

Just two events into Team USA's 2020 Ryder Cup qualification, the projected eight automatic qualifiers feature seven past Ryder Cup players, including Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas.

Jim Furyk is also currently on the team courtesy of his runner-up finish at The Players, which moved him to second in the standings.

The 48-year-old Furyk, who captained the 2018 U.S. Ryder Cup to a loss in Paris, has played in nine Ryder Cups, winning just twice.

The WGC-Mexico Championship, won by points-leader Johnson, was the first qualifying event for next year's matches at Whistling Straits. Along with The Players, the four majors and three remaining WGC events in 2019 will award Ryder Cup points.
