Ross Fisher is a strong bet for Europe's Ryder Cup team

"In what is turning out to be a stellar year for European golf there are likely to be a handful of star names who will miss out on the action at Celtic Manor in October."

Ross Fisher enters the automatic qualification places with Irish Open win while second-placed Padraig Harrington edges closer

It was close but no cigar for Padraig Harrington in his bid for another Irish Open success with the three-time major winner coming up two shots short at the Killarney Golf and Fishing Club.

A win would have taken Harrington into the automatic qualifying places for this year's Ryder Cup but it is winner Ross Fisher - backed at a high of [46.0] - who takes that honour.

In what is turning out to be a stellar year for European golf there are likely to be a handful of star names who will miss out on the action at Celtic Manor in October.

Wherever Harrington finishes in the qualifying places he is likely to make captain Colin Montgomerie's team for the bi-annual skirmish against the Americans.

But who could say the same about Sergio Garcia? The Spaniard is hopelessly out of form and is the most high-profile big name likely to miss out.
