OLIVER WILSON, NICK DOUGHERTY LOSE EUROPEAN TOUR CARDS

FROM THE SKY SPORTS WEBSITE
Former Ryder Cup player Oliver Wilson has lost his European Tour card, along with three-time winner on the tour, Nick Dougherty.

Englishmen Wilson, pictured, and Dougherty both missed the cut by one shot at the Hong Kong Open today - the season's final full-field event.

That means they will now finish outside the top 118 on the Race to Dubai money list and, in the process, lose their playing privileges for the 2012 season.

Wilson, who played in Europe's defeated side at the 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla, loses his card for the first time since joining the circuit on a full-time basis in 2005.

Dougherty has endured a miserable season, making only one halfway cut - that coming at the Omega European Masters in Switzerland where he went on to finish in a tie for 45th.

The 29-year-old from Liverpool had previously won the 2005 Caltex Masters in Singapore, the 2007 Dunhill Links Championship and the 2009 BMW International Open.

Sic transit gloria.
