With the 2007 British Open Championship dominated by Europeans such as winner Padraig Harrington (Ireland) and Sergio Garcia (Spain), little changed this week in the Presidents Cup Rankings for either team. For a major championship, it was a quiet week in terms of movement.

The International top-10 saw almost no movement. While plenty of players moved up in the Official World Golf Rankings, which is used to determine the International team, most were Europeans, leaving the International Presidents Cup standings virtually untouched. K.J. Choi moved up one spot to No. 5, while Retief Goosen moved down one spot to No. 6.

Tim Clark has put in two outstanding performances in his last two events, tying for second in last week's John Deere Classic and this weeks U.S. Bank Championship. Both times a win looked entirely possible, but he could not prevail, and therefore is still at only No. 19 in the International team standings for the second week in a row. His second place tie this week was just not enough to move him up.

While the International team is based on the Official World Golf Rankings, the American team is based on earnings. And with his paycheck from the British Open Championship this week, Lucas Glover finally managed to break into the top 10. His tie for 27th at the Open Championship moved him up one spot into No. 10.

At No. 10, he will be forced to fight for his spot in the upcoming weeks before captains Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player announce the final teams on Aug. 13.

Possible Captains Picks:

American
1. Ben Curtis, No. 35 -- He may not be high in the rankings, but Curtis obviously knows how to succeed in an international field. His 2003 British Open Championship win is evidence of that, and Curtis played very well at tough Carnoustie, finishing T8.

2. Hunter Mahan, No. 16 -- He may be young (25 years old) but he's playing amongst some of the top veterans -- and playing better than most. Mahan finished T6 in his third Open Championship, having never placed higher than 24th in previous years. Mahan is on a roll this summer with a win, two top-10s and two top-20s. Mahan also possesses intimidating length off the tee.

International
1. Tim Clark, No. 19 -- Two frustrating runner-up finishes in a row have kept Clark out of the top 10. But don't discount Clark, because T17 has been his worst finish since May.

2. Richard Green, No. 13 -- Carnoustie has been described as one of the toughest courses in the world. Green managed to pull himself up 27 places on Sunday to tie for fourth. Green's closing round 64 tied the course record, making him an intriguing candidate for a captain's pick.
