Mickelson, kuchar earn Ryder Cup spots

Phil Mickelson and Matt Kuchar grabbed the seventh and eighth spots as the final round of the PGA Championship capped the points table for selecting the US team for the Ryder Cup.

The year's fourth major championship is the final qualifying event for those wanting to earn one of eight automatic qualifications into the American team.

Mickelson nailed down the No 8 spot and he was assured of making it onto the team when neither Bo Van Pelt nor Steve Stricker could make a charge in Sunday's final round of the 94th PGA Championship at the Ocean Course.
