Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Patrick Reed are assured of a place on the United States Ryder Cup team two months before the biennial event at Le Golf National.   

Johnson eased to his 19th career title by three shots with a six-under final round of 66 at the Canadian Open.

The world number one remains second in the standings behind U.S. Open champion Koepka, who will also be on the Jim Furyk's team despite missing his first cut in three months in Oakville, Ontario.

Johnson now has 8,925.287 points to Koepka's 8,925.287, while Masters champion Reed – who finished tied for ninth in the European Open on Sunday - will also be present in Paris.

There was no movement in the top 21 spots in the US standings, with the upcoming WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the US PGA Championship providing the last opportunities for points scoring.

Ian Poulter replaced Sergio Garcia in 10th spot in the world points list, but there was very little change in the battle for European qualification.

Poulter, Garcia, Matt Fitzpatrick and Henrik Stenson will go in search of precious points at Firestone Country Club this week.
