European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald has to be grinning these days. First he has Tommy Fleetwood on a summer-long heater in pursuit of his first PGA Tour victory, then Justin Rose wins the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week. Now, Robert MacIntyre goes out and shoots an 8-under 62 to lead the BMW Championship Thursday. Fleetwood, Rose and MacIntyre are locks to make the squad, but their strong forms, along with Rory McIlroy's, are making the Euros a dominating presence for late September.
