Ireland's Harrington struggling to land an automatic Ryder Cup spot
Padraig Harrington's joint fourth place in America still leaves him outside a top-10 automatic spot in Europe's Ryder Cup standings.
Sergio Garcia tied with Harrington in Memphis and he moves up from fifth to fourth in the cup standings, while Graeme McDowell's eighth place in Austria was enough to lift him from 10th to ninth in the points table.
Fighting tooth and nail: Padraig Harrington isn't guaranteed a place in Europe's Ryder Cup team
The top 10 who would earn places in Nick Faldo's team as things stand are: Lee Westwood, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson, Garcia, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Robert Karlsson, Oliver Wilson, Nick Dougherty, McDowell and Martin Kaymer.
Open champion Harrington and Luke Donald would currently be clear favourites for Faldo's two wild cards.
