Scott McCarron's primary goal this year was to make enough money on the PGA Tour to secure his playing privileges for 2009. Now his name is being mentioned as a possible Ryder Cup pick. On Sunday, three weeks after tying for fifth at the RBC Canadian Open, McCarron finished second at the Wyndham Championships to secure his spot on tour next year, push his earnings this year to nearly $1 million, push his career earnings to more than $10 million and guarantee himself a spot in the first two of the four FedEx Cup playoff events, which starts today.

The field must be pretty weak if McCarron is on the top of the heap.

One second place finish is all it takes to get your name thrown into the Ryder Cup hat? There must have been little to write about in Reno this week in the sports world.
