Fifty-six players had the chance to force their way into the American Ryder Cup team at the US PGA championship this week – and 56 failed.

The top 10 who automatically earn places for next month’s K Club clash in Ireland stayed unchanged after the final major of the season, with ninth-placed Zach Johnson and 10th-placed Brett Wetterich breathing massive sighs of relief.
