Captain Darren Clarke has decided not to change Europe's qualifying system for next year's Ryder Cup at Hazeltine.

That Northern Irishman, 46, according to the BBC, will now have three wildcard picks to join the nine men who qualify automatically.

The top four players in the European points list will qualify for next September's competition, along with the top five in the world points list.

He said that it would have been foolish to make any changes.

There had been suggestions Clarke was considering reducing the number of wildcards to two, but decided not to deviate from the system used to beat the United States 161/2-111/2 at Gleneagles last year.
