( CNN ) -- Europe 's Ryder Cup selections endured largely disappointing finishes to the final build-up tournament before the biennial clash gets underway later this week as Dutchman Joost Luiten won the Wales Open Sunday . Luiten overcame a poor start to his round at Celtic Manor , venue for the 2010 Ryder Cup , to finish on 14-under after a level par 71 . It was his fourth victory on the European Tour , but his late season form came too late to earn him a spot in Paul McGinley 's team to face the United States at Gleneagles next Friday . Luiten had to battle to salvage a par-five on the 18th to hold off England 's Tommy Fleetwood and Ireland 's Shane Lowry at Celtic Manor . Fleetwood finished with a six-under burst for the last five holes and Lowry also birdied the 18th to set the target for Luiten . `` It was tough , it was hard work down the last , '' said Luiten . Four members of McGinley 's 12-strong team were in action in Wales with Ryder Cup debutant Jamie Donaldson the best placed . He birdied the last for a 67 to finish on 12-under and a tie for fourth alongside Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts , England 's Eddie Pepperell , Scotland 's Marc Warren and Edoardo Molinari of Italy . But Denmark 's Thomas Bjorn and Lee Westwood of England were distinctly out of sorts in their final tune ups . Veteran Bjorn shot a 74 to finish one over par and a rusty Westwood struggled to a 76 for two over . He will be making his ninth appearance later this week and was unfazed by his poor display . `` I hit a few good shots ( this week ) , not so good today , but I probably had one eye on next week . I do n't think the concentration and the focus was there , '' he told the European Tour website . `` The Ryder Cup is very special , I am looking forward to getting there tonight and preparing for Friday when it starts . '' At least Westwood and Bjorn made the cut . Stephen Gallacher , making his debut as one of McGinley 's picks , failed to make the weekend . Meanwhile , world number one Rory McIlroy said he was looking forward to capping his remarkable year with a third Ryder Cup triumph . `` Personally for me it would just be the icing on the cake of what 's already a fantastic year , '' he told Sky Sports . `` It 's way better to win as part of a team . The best experiences in my golf career have been the Ryder Cup and to be able to celebrate with all these guys . It 's very special . '' McIlroy famously nearly missed his tee time ahead of the final day singles match at Medinah in 2012 , but made it with minutes to spare to beat Keegan Bradley as Europe completed a remarkable comeback to retain the trophy .
