Patrick Reed delighted to seal Ryder Cup spot as Fowler's hopes suffer setback

American Patrick Reed secured his place on the Ryder Cup team with victory in The Barclays as overnight leader Rickie Fowler squandered his chance to do the same at Bethpage Black.

Reed began the first FedEx Cup play-off event in the eighth and final automatic qualifying place for Davis Love's team, which will attempt to avoid an unprecedented fourth straight defeat to Europe at Hazeltine next month.
