Rio complicates Ryder Cup selections for US

The Rio Olympics created a bump in the golf schedule that has impacted the American team for the Ryder Cup.
The PGA Championship typically is the final event to earn one of the eight automatic qualifying spots, and then Davis Love III would have four captain's picks leading up to the Ryder Cup matches that start on Sept 30 at Hazeltine.
Because the PGA has been moved to the end of July ahead of the Olympics, qualifying for the Americans won't end until Aug 28, after The Barclays.
