Justin Rose and Paul Casey have taken their omission from Colin Montgomerie's European Ryder Cup team philosophically and say they will both fully support the European squad that takes on the US at The Celtic Manor in Wales from October 1-3.
Rose, who has won twice on the US Tour in recent weeks has been told by Monty that he should stand by as first reserve, should Lee Westwood failed to fully recover from his ankle injury.
Said Rose (30), after Edoardo Molinari, Luke Donald and Padraig Harrington were named as Captain's picks ahead of him: "When you play one [Ryder Cup] you never want to miss another but I have and I only have myself to blame for that. I'm very disappointed. I figured I had as good a shot as anybody.
"Unfortunately two of us were going to be left out, but that's ultimately our own fault. If you put yourself in that precarious position of looking for a wildcard this is what happens. But you have to pick yourself up and carry on. It's not like I'm Miguel Angel Jimenez trying to do it for the last time either - I've got plenty of time."
Casey (33), who jumped a place in the world rankings (to 8th) with a 12th place finish in The Barclays on Sunday, said: "Being injured last year really hurt my ability to qualify automatically, but I'll be supporting them in the match and wish them the best, simple as that."
He added: "I'm not going to stand here and sort of plead a case for why I should be on the team. It's done and dusted. I tried my hardest and I didn't make it. I wasn't picked. I didn't qualify automatically. I wish I had."
FOOTNOTE: Monty has named Welshman Rhys Davies as his buggy driver and an official team backroom member during the matches to give him experience of the atmosphere. Sergio Garcia becomes a fourth assistant alongside Paul McGinley, Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn.
