The Olympic champion Xander Schauffele was among the captain’s picks for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Six golfers were named on Wednesday to round out the 12-man American team that will compete in the latest Ryder Cup match against a team of European golfers to be played Sept. 24-26 at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis.

The United States Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker selected as his choices Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Harris English, Daniel Berger and Scottie Scheffler.

Six American golfers had already qualified for the team based on a cumulative points system linked to recent performances. They were Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay.
