DULUTH, Ga. (AP) -- While the 10 guaranteed spots on the U.S. Ryder Cup team were settled after the PGA Championship, the Europeans will have to wait a few more weeks.

Three more tournaments count in their standings, concluding with the BMW International in Munich, Germany, on Sept. 2.

There was no change among the Europeans after the PGA Championship, where Japan's Shingo Katayama was the only non-American to finish in the top 10.

Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland still holds a commanding lead, followed by Denmark's Thomas Bjorn, Ireland's Padraig Harrington, England's Lee Westwood, Sweden's Pierre Fulke, Scotland's Colin Montgomerie, Sweden's Niclas Fasth, Ireland's Paul McGinley, Germany's Bernhard Langer and Phillip Price of Wales.

Price is on the bubble for 10th and final of the automatic selections, which are based on earnings in European tour events. He has 817,584.71 points, followed by Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain (742,791.69).

Europe's Sam Torrance is expected to add Sergio Garcia of Spain (19th in points) and Jesper Parnevik of Sweden (29th) with the two captain picks.

U.S. captain Curtis Strange will announce his two picks Monday.

The Ryder Cup will be Sept. 28-30 at The Belfry in England.
