SHEBOYGAN, WIS. (AP) -- The disappointment of his playoff loss in the PGA Championship didn't last long. Bubba Watson is taking his booming drives to the Ryder Cup.
Watson, who was 18th in the standings going into the final qualifying tournament, moved up to No. 3 with his runner-up finish at Whistling Straits on Sunday.
Dustin Johnson, whose two-stroke penalty on a bizarre bunker ruling knocked him out of the playoff, tied for fifth and also secured one of eight automatic spots for the Americans.
Captain Corey Pavin will announce his four wild-card picks on Sept. 7, in New York, and among those under consideration is Tiger Woods. The world's No. 1 player failed to play his way onto the team, finishing 12th in the standings.
Watson knocked out Anthony Kim, who missed three months after thumb surgery.
