Justin Rose, Soren Hansen and Oliver Wilson claimed the final three automatic places in the European Ryder Cup team after the final round of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.

Nick Dougherty and Oliver Wilson had left themselves just too much to do to displace one of the three, but both produced rousing challenges.

Fisher shot a closing 66 and Dougherty carded a 70 in difficult conditions in central Scotland.

Four of the 10 automatic qualifiers - Rose, Wilson, Hansen and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell - will be making their Ryder Cup debuts at Valhalla.

Nick Faldo later named Englishmen Ian Poulter and Paul Casey as his two wild card picks.
