English pair Oliver Wilson and Justin Rose and Dane Soren Hansen will all make their Ryder Cup debuts next month.

The race for places was settled at Gleneagles today when Nick Dougherty failed to win the Johnnie Walker Championship.

Dougherty made a great bid with five successive birdies around the turn and then another on the 14th, but he had bogeyed three of the first six and a three under 70 for eight under left him shy of his target.

Swede Peter Hanson’s 69 for 11 under decided the points battle, but Hanson then had to wait to see if he grabbed his second victory in three weeks.

With three to play Frenchman Gregory Havret was 13 under and one ahead of England’s Graeme Storm.
