VIRGINIA WATER England (Reuters) - Rookie trio Jonas Blixt, Victor Dubuisson and Joost Luiten will be welcome additions if they manage to qualify for Europe's Ryder Cup team later this year, according to four-times skipper Tony Jacklin.

The 69-year-old Englishman, however, is less complimentary about Scotland's Stephen Gallacher who is another player on the fringes of selection for the side that will defend the trophy against the United States at Gleneagles in September.
