Juventus will be on the FIFA 20 video game under the name "Piedmonte Calcio" after the Serie A champions signed an exclusive deal with rivals PES 2020.

The Bianconeri have signed an exclusive contract with PES owners Konami, which sees them hold the rights to their name and any other football game -- including the FIFA series -- will have to change the club's name as well as create a custom kit and stadium.

However, the deal does not affect players, as they are negotiated separately which means Cristiano Ronaldo will still appear with his real name on the game.

Piedmonte Calcio will still be eligible for special items and the changes will not affect the FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.

The deal is different to the one Manchester United signed with Konami earlier in July, which saw them become an officially licensed club on PES.

On the new game, the Old Trafford side will have their official name, rather than Man Red as had been called in previous editions.

Harry Maguire has played in a World Cup semifinal and become one of the most highly rated defenders in the Premier League, but even his most ardent supporters would struggle to argue that he is the very best at his position.

Yet if Leicester get their way and force Manchester United to pay in excess of £80 million, the 26-year-old will become the most expensive defender in the world. That would eclipse the £75m that Liverpool paid for Virgil van Dijk -- not only the world's best defender but the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or this year.

All this for a player Leicester signed from relegated Hull City for an initial £12m just two years ago.

- Who has qualified for Europe from the Premier League?
- When does the transfer window close?

Sources have told ESPN FC that, while United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign Maguire as quickly as possible to reinforce his porous defence at Old Trafford, the two clubs are still some distance apart in terms of their valuation.

United, who initially offered £40m for Maguire last month, are now prepared to pay closer to £70m to get their man, but Leicester's starting point is £80m and some reports suggest they are even ready to hold out for £90m.

Yet for all of Maguire's ability as a commanding centre-back, a player with an aerial threat in both boxes and one who can play the long and short game, it would signal a new, eye-watering benchmark in an already over-heated transfer market.

Leicester are smart operators when it comes to selling players. They banked £60m when selling Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City 12 months ago and also forced Chelsea to hand over £35m for midfielder Danny Drinkwater in 2017. The Foxes hierarchy know that United, having seemingly missed out on Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt, are short on alternative options for a proven, commanding defender, so they are quite rightly putting the squeeze on the club's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

Woodward, an investment banker with JP Morgan prior to working for United, knows all about market forces and it is unfortunate for him and his club that they are now on the wrong end of the spike in transfer fees. But City were also forced to pay over the odds when they paid £50m to sign Kyle Walker from Tottenham two years ago, making him the world's most expensive full-back at the time, while Liverpool's wisdom was questioned when they paid £75m for Southampton's Van Dijk 18 months ago.

City and Liverpool would now both argue that they were justified in breaking transfer records to sign Walker and Van Dijk, and United must now decide whether Maguire is likely to prove as smart a long-term investment as those two, even if the costs seem alarmingly high.

United's history, certainly since Sir Alex Ferguson's time in charge, is littered with examples of expensive signings which ultimately proved to be sound investments.

Gary Pallister (£2.3m), Roy Keane (£3.75m), Ruud van Nistelrooy (£19m) and Rio Ferdinand (£30m) all became British record signings when they moved to United, while Wayne Rooney was the world's most expensive teenager when he completed a £27m move from Everton in 2004.

All of the above left Old Trafford having more than justified their huge transfer fees, with each of them proving that the initial outlay was excellent value in the long term.

However, United's sense of value has deserted them since Ferguson retired in 2013, with those in charge too often knowing the price of something rather than the value.

Which is why they are now in a difficult position with Maguire. Is it another case of having to pay vastly over the odds for a player who will never live up to the pricetag? Or is Maguire a modern-day version of Pallister or Ferdinand, two defenders whose fees were questioned at the time, but who ultimately made the cost of the transfers look cheap?

One thing for certain is that Maguire is not the best defender in the world. True, Van Dijk wasn't either when he traded Southampton for Liverpool, but the Dutchman now has few rivals for that title after a sensational 18 months at Anfield. His £75m fee now looks to be a bargain and Liverpool could double it right now if they were foolish enough to consider selling.

It would be naive for United to expect Maguire to follow the same path so quickly. But he is better than what they have and would improve United, so the price is the price and they have to accept that market forces have left them having to break the world-record transfer fee for a defender.

Middlesex 384 (Malan 166, Sowter 57*, Roland-Jones 54) and 342 (Robson 140*, Simpson 56) beat Glamorgan 171 (Lloyd 67, Helm 5-53) and 299 (Hemphrey 72, Labuschagne 51, Roland-Jones 5-68) by 256 runs

It took Middlesex 90 minutes on the final morning to take the last four Glamorgan wickets and inflict on them their first Championship defeat of the season and also the heaviest defeat the Welsh county have suffered in terms of runs.

The seventh-wicket pair of Charlie Hemphrey and Graham Wagg resisted for 50 minutes to share a partnership of 62 before Hemphrey's vigil, lasing more than five hours, ended. He had faced 254 balls which included a six and eight fours before he became the second Glamorgan opener in the innings to feather an innocuous delivery down the leg-side to the wicketkeeper.

It was a disappointing end to a chanceless innings, but Hemphrey showed that he has all the attributes to develop into a successful opener as he comes to terms with his first season in county cricket.

Wagg went shortly afterwards for 40, guiding a delivery from Toby Roland-Jones to second slip, and the Middlesex seamer, armed with the new ball, removed Lukas Carey's off stump to claim his fifth wicket to end with 5 for 68 for the innings and his ninth wicket for the match Former England bowler Roland-Jones has been a revelation since returning from injury and indifferent form, claiming 19 wickets in the last two games.

"It's been great to be back and contributing," Roland-Jones said. "And after such along time out with injury it's taken some time to find my rhythm again. I'm over that now and hopefully we can carry this success on for the remainder of the season."

Facing defeat, Marchant De Lange decided it was time for some lusty blows, and when Tim Murtagh was recalled, also with the new ball, De Lange struck him for 24, with two sixes and three fours, in the only over he bowled before being replaced.

After De Lange and Michael Hogan had enjoyed themselves with a rapid partnership of 35, the fun ended when Nathan Sowter had Hogan caught on the long-off boundary for 22, with De lange undefeated on 45.

Hemphrey, who top scored with 72 for the home team said: "After some missed chances in their first innings and tumbling to 25 for 5 at the end of the day, we were always playing catch up, and from then on Middlesex had the momentum and came at us hard. We fought back in the second innings to get near 300, and it was nice to contribute but Middlesex thoroughly deserved their win."

Northamptonshire 342 (Bavuma 134) and 122 (Palladino 4-33) beat Derbyshire 146 (Hudson-Prentice 55, Sanderson 5-46) and 246 (Lace 41, Procter 4-26) by 72 runs

Northamptonshire boosted their chances of promotion by wrapping up a 72-run victory over Derbyshire at Chesterfield before lunch on day three.

Derbyshire's prospects of reaching a target of 319 on a pitch that was marked as below average always looked slim when they went out on the third morning needing another 164 with five wickets left.

Tom Lace top scored with 41 and Fynn Hudson-Prentice followed his first-innings unbeaten half-century with 26 not out but Luke Procter finished with 4 for 26 as the home side came up short on 246.

Although in the words of ECB Cricket Liaison Officer Dean Cosker "variable bounce and deviation" on day two resulted in the verdict on the Queen's Park surface, none of the wickets that fell on what became the last day could be blamed on the pitch.

Lace clipped Brett Hutton firmly to midwicket where Temba Bavuma held a good low catch before Harvey Hosein played across the line at Proctor.

Matt Critchley struck Matt Coles for two fours in an over but the on-loan Essex paceman had the final word by bowling him via an inside edge with Derbyshire still needing another 113.

Tony Palladino fenced at Proctor and was caught behind but Hudson-Prentice again played well and Ravi Rampaul delivered late defiance by driving Coles into the sightscreen and pulling him for another four.

The end came when he pulled Ben Sanderson to deep square leg where Bavuma, in his final match for the county, made no mistake which was fitting given his first-innings century was by some distance the highest score in the contest.

"It was an important toss to win, getting runs on the board was important and Temba Bavuma's innings was outstanding," Northants head coach David Ripley said. "We are grateful for the way he played.

"I think the pitch was just a little bit dry at the start and there was that little bit of uneven bounce for the seam bowlers which I guess means we are going home early. I'm just glad we got the points and three batting points so we've had a good three days."

Derbyshire head of cricket Dave Houghton said: "We lost the game with a bad session in the middle of the first day. We had a magnificent fightback to give ourselves a chance to win but realistically you lose a session by that much you are going to do well to stay in the game.

"I look at the wicket and think back over the game and I didn't see a batsman get hit on the fingers, I didn't see any ball crawling along the ground. It wasn't a road, it was a result wicket and I thought it played pretty well."

Essex 245 (Cook 84, Lawrence 61, Rhodes 5-17) and 316 for 9 (Cook 83, Lawrence 74, Rhodes 4-38) beat Warwickshire 161 (Siddle 5-33) and 213 (Banks 50, Harmer 6-75) by 187 runs

Simon Harmer claimed his seventh five-wicket haul of the season to help Essex to the top of the Specsavers County Championship with a 187-run victory over Warwickshire.

The South African offspinner took his season's tally to 64 with his latest figures of 6 for 75. He had done the damage in the morning session when he took four wickets in 20 balls to rip the heart out of an inexperienced Warwickshire batting line-up

Essex's seventh win in eight games - and sixth in six at Chelmsford - carried them above Somerset by four points with four to play, including a potential winner-takes-all showdown at Taunton in the final game.

Set 401 to win, Warwickshire were always in trouble. Essex were held up briefly by a lively seventh-wicket partnership between Michael Burgess and Henry Brookes that put on 51 in eight overs. But once Brookes went shortly before lunch, the die was cast. There was just enough time for Burgess to reach his first fifty since joining on loan from Sussex, before the end came 45 minutes into the afternoon session.

Shorn of chief run-getters Dom Sibley and Sam Hain on England Lions duty, Warwickshire did not possess the strength in depth to prevent a fifth defeat of the season.

It had taken six overs for the first wicket of the day to go; the rest kept falling at regular intervals thereafter. Rob Yates might have gone to the very first ball when he got a leading edge that went agonisingly just over Harmer's head. Not much eluded Harmer thereafter.

Liam Banks reached his maiden first-class fifty from his 81st ball faced, but six balls later he edged Peter Siddle firmly to Tom Westley at third slip. Yates hung around for 63 balls for 13 before he became Harmer's first victim, caught low down at slip by Sir Alastair Cook. Dan Mousley faced just one ball before he departed to the same combination.

Tim Ambrose survived the hat-trick ball, killing any turn with an exaggerated forward defensive stride, but lasted just two more overs from Harmer before popping one around the corner to Dan Lawrence at leg slip.

Adam Hose looked to be batting himself back into form with 13 from 34 balls when he played an injudicious sweep at Harmer and was caught at midwicket by Rishi Patel, diving forward.

Burgess and Brookes offered a measure of aggressive resistance. Burgess started the spree by lofting Harmer over cow corner. Brookes caught the prevailing mood by hooking Matt Quinn for four and six over midwicket and then landing a straight six off Harmer. Burgess's second six off Harmer took the stand past fifty in eight overs.

It was only delaying the inevitable, however. Brookes perished for 27 from 25 balls when he was strangled down leg side by Quinn and feathered to substitute wicketkeeper Will Buttleman, playing in place of the injured Adam Wheater.

The return of Siddle to the attack immediately after lunch accounted for Warwickshire captain Jeetan Patel, this time with Harmer assisting with the catch at second slip.

Burgess reached his half-century from 46 balls, but lost Olly Stone, the ninth wicket, with the score half the deficit, caught behind. Burgess was the last to depart, dancing down the wicket to Harmer and being stumped for 64. His innings had spanned 69 balls and included seven fours and three sixes.

Concussion substitutes are likely to be introduced to international cricket in time for the men's Ashes Test series next month.

The issue is on the agenda at the ICC annual conference, currently being held in London, and ESPNcricinfo understands the changes to playing conditions will almost certainly be approved and implemented quickly, so that all matches played in the World Test Championship will have the same safety protocols in place.

The discussion surrounding the use of concussion substitutes has grown since the inquest held in Australia following the death of Phillip Hughes, who was struck on the head by a ball during a Sheffield Shield match in November 2014. It also occurs at a time when the wider sports world has become more aware of both the short- and long-term effects of concussion.

Cricket Australia introduced concussion substitutes to their men's and women's domestic one-day cups and the BBL and WBBL for the 2016-17 season. But they had to wait for ICC approval to be granted in May 2017 before they could introduce it to the Sheffield Shield the following year and maintain the competition's first-class status.

The ICC have conducted trials and also used research carried out by CA into cricket-specific effects of concussion. During the recently concluded Men's World Cup, there was a concerted push to increase education around recognising the symptoms of and highlighting the dangers of continuing to play with concussion. There was also a range of protocols in place: every team had a nominated Team Medical Representative and there was an independent match-day doctor at every game to provide support.

But this highlights some of the challenges of bringing concussion subs into the international game. During Sri Lanka's Test tour of Australia earlier this year, both Kusal Mendis and Dimuth Karunaratne were struck on the head and were taken to hospital, only to be subsequently cleared to play. But the Sri Lankan management team did not include a doctor and so both teams were treated by members of the Australian medical staff.

It is not yet clear if the introduction of the substitute rule will include mandatory levels of medical staff or independent doctors, or if an independent doctor would be required at all international matches.

The ICC annual conference will conclude on Friday.

It threatened to be the incident that defined his tenure as England's director of cricket, but Andrew Strauss has said that he knew almost immediately that Ben Stokes' brawl outside a Bristol nightclub would turn out to be a good thing for him.

Strauss was tasked with dealing with the initial fallout from the incident, later denying that there was a "drinking culture" within the England squad after a series of misdemeanours on the 2017-18 Ashes tour, and recalled how he had encountered Stokes in the immediate aftermath of his arrest.

"I remember going down to the police station," Strauss said. "I spent a long time with Clare, his wife, waiting for him to come out of the… jail. And what struck me as soon as he came out was actually his character, because he stood up and said: 'I've got this horribly wrong - I apologise sincerely for what I've done here.'

"From that moment on, I thought this was going to be a good thing for him."

Speaking at Lord's to launch Ruth Strauss Day, Strauss said he realised that the public reaction would be "very noisy… very hard for us to navigate", but that Stokes' response had been as good as could have been hoped.

"It was very hard to know which way it was going to go. People can go two ways after something like that happens to them. Anyone who knows Ben, or who has played with him, knows what an incredible person he is to have on your team.

"I think what we've seen is some of those rough edges just smoothed a little bit over the last 12 or 18 months, without him losing that incredible desire, and hunger to win, and that competitive streak.

"It's an easy story to say what happened in the World Cup final was redemption for him, but I just think it was one of English cricket's talents showing what he can do on the greatest stage. It was amazing to see that - not just him doing it, but to see his family there, who had been through so much alongside him."

Stokes has reined in his aggressive tendencies with the bat since his return following the Bristol incident, and finished the World Cup as England's third-highest run-scorer, with an aggregate of 465 for the tournament. His five fifties included three at a strike-rate below 100, including his 98-ball 84 not out in Sunday's dramatic run chase.

After hitting Trent Boult's final ball for a single, with two needed to win, Stokes said he took a few minutes to cool down before going back out in the Super Over.

"I actually had to go and have five minutes to myself in the shower area of the changing room," he said. "I was pretty annoyed. I was angry. I had to get my head switched back on because I knew there was a job out there to do. I was full of adrenaline, so I needed to make sure my head was in the right place."

Perhaps Stokes' ability to regain his composure was the surest sign of his transformation; it is only five years since he missed a World T20 after fracturing his hand punching a locker in Antigua in frustration, following a golden duck.

Strauss also played down comparisons between Stokes and Andrew Flintoff, whom he played alongside in the 2005 and 2009 Ashes wins.

"[They are] both great cricketers in their own right," Strauss said, "but different personalities and different characters.

"Ben is quite a quiet guy. Fred was a bit more of a showman. I'll tell you where the similarities are very marked: they are always in all three phases of the game; they have an ability to change the game with any of those three.

"But Ben has the ability and opportunity to be just an outstanding batsman. Fred was more of a batsman who played outstanding innings, rather than an outstanding batsman."

"I think what is going to be hard for Ben going forward is the level of adulation he'll receive. I think that was a burden for Freddie - he often lived up to it and that was great, but increasingly you are under more and more pressure to be the man every time you play. That is a big burden."

Ahead of the premiere of The Edge tomorrow night, the film documenting the rise and sudden fall of England's Test team between 2009 and 2013-14, Strauss suggested that England's World Cup winners could learn from the mistakes that team had made.

"We got to the top," he said. "We had a method, style, and a group of players we felt could carry on and stay at the top for a long time, but we went straight back down again. That is the lesson from 2005 as well - nothing ever stays the same.

"Players change, players get injured, other teams get better. If for one moment you think you have cracked it, you are already on the way down again. And that is the challenge for this one-day team."

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland -- The Open is returning to Irish soil for the first time in 68 years this week, with golf's best players gathering at Royal Portrush Golf Club for the year's final major championship.

The 148th edition of The Open is being called the greatest sporting event in Northern Ireland's history. Tickets for all four days of the tournament sold out for the first time in history and more than 190,000 fans are expected to attend.

Here's everything you need to know about The Open:

About the course

Royal Portrush Golf Club, founded in 1888 on the northern coast of Northern Ireland, is the only club outside of England and Scotland to host The Open. It was the site of the 80th Open Championship in 1951, when Max Faulkner won the Claret Jug.

In 2014, the R&A announced that Royal Portrush was returning to The Open rota. Starting in November 2015, golf architects Mackenzie & Ebert spent 18 months redesigning and lengthening the Dunluce links course to accommodate modern players.

They designed five new greens, eight new tee boxes, 10 new bunkers and two new holes -- Nos. 7 and 8, on land that was originally part of the adjoining Valley Course. What was originally the seventh hole on Dunluce is now the ninth, followed by the same Nos. 10-16 holes that were part of Harry Colt's design in 1929.

The original 17th and 18th holes on Dunluce, which were regarded as rather ordinary for finishing holes in a major championship, were removed to accommodate space for tents and other buildings needed for The Open.

Holes to know

Two of the most dramatic holes on the Dunluce Course are located near the Atlantic Ocean shore.

The par-4, 374-yard fifth, called "White Rocks," is widely regarded as the course's signature hole. It is a dogleg hole, from left to right, with an elevated tee shot toward the Atlantic Ocean. It requires a daring tee shot over a wide expanse of thick rough, which is even more treacherous when the wind is howling. The green sits perched on the very edge of the course, with White Rocks Beach (and out of bounds) about 50 feet below.

The 236-yard, par-3 16th (formerly the 14th) is known as "Calamity Corner" and requires an uphill tee shot over a yawning void. Making matters worse, there is a deep chasm, covered in nasty rough, to the right of the small green.

The two new holes are considered among the track's best. The par-5, 592-yard seventh, known as "Curran Point," might challenge even the longest hitters. The elevated tee box is exposed to the wind, which will make it more difficult hitting to a narrow fairway protected by a maze of dunes. Players also will have to avoid a massive bunker on the right side, a replica of "Big Nellie," the celebrated bunker on the original 17th hole.

The new eighth hole, "Dunluce," is a dogleg-left, 434-yard par 4 that requires players to drive over dunes to a narrow fairway. Its green has a massive false front, which will certainly claim its share of victims this week.

The favorites

Brooks Koepka
At this point, it almost seems like a bigger story if Koepka doesn't win a major. He has won four of the past 10 majors and finished runner-up twice. And how's this for an advantage: His caddie, Ricky Elliott, is a native of Portrush and played the old Dunluce course as a junior. That can only help Koepka.

Rory McIlroy
Yeah, he hasn't won a major in nearly five years and wasn't in contention at Augusta or Bethpage Black and didn't finish well at Pebble Beach. But he still has two wins and 11 top-10s in 14 PGA Tour starts this season. When you combine McIlory's talent and local knowledge, the native son might be tough to beat with the home crowd behind him.

Francesco Molinari
Molinari stared down Tiger Woods in the final round of The Open in 2018 at Carnoustie and won by two shots to become the first Italian to win a major. But he hasn't played very well since his collapse on Sunday at Augusta this year, finishing tied for 48th at the PGA Championship and tied for 16th at the U.S. Open.

Dustin Johnson
The No. 2 player in the world has been at his best this season in the majors, finishing tied for second at the Masters and solo second at the PGA Championship. One cause for concern: Johnson was tied for 35th at Pebble Beach, where wind was also a factor. DJ missed the cut at Carnoustie last year and hasn't played well in this event during his career, other than a tie for second in 2011.

Justin Rose
The former World No. 1 missed the cut at the Masters and tied for 29th at the PGA Championship. But he was in contention at the U.S. Open until shooting 74 on Sunday and finishing tied for third. Rose is the most improved putter on Tour, and that might give him a chance to become the first Englishman to win the Open since Nick Faldo in 1992.

Jon Rahm
The Spaniard just won the Irish Open for the second time in three years and has played well in two of the three previous majors this season, finishing tied for ninth at the Masters and tied for third at the U.S. Open. He hasn't finished higher than a tie for 44th in three appearances at The Open.

Tiger Watch

Tiger Woods was one of the first players out on Royal Portrush for a Sunday morning practice. Still, he has not played tournament golf in a month, since finishing tied for 21st at the U.S. Open.

Woods has made only three starts since winning the Masters in April at Augusta National for his 15th major championship. After winning a green jacket for a fifth time, he didn't play before missing the cut at Bethpage Black and hasn't played since a disappointing finish at Pebble Beach.

Still, Woods was in contention at The Open at Carnoustie last year until a forgettable start to his back nine on Sunday, when he had a double-bogey on the 11th and bogey on the 12th.

Woods spent much of the past month traveling with his family in Thailand. He has won The Open three times, most recently at Royal Liverpool in 2006.

Why isn't Matthew Wolff here?

It's a shame the rookie sensation with the funky swing won't be teeing it up at Royal Portrush this week. Wolff, the reigning NCAA Player of the Year from Oklahoma State, won the 3M Open in only his third start as a pro with a back-nine 31 and walk-off eagle on No. 18 in the final round.

— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) July 8, 2019

While the victory secured Wolff a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour, a spot in next year's Masters and PGA Championship and a $1.152 million payday, it didn't earn him a spot in The Open Championship. This past week's John Deere Classic is among the qualifying events for The Open -- but not the 3M Open. To qualify, Wolff needs to finish in the top five and above any other players who had not yet qualified. He entered Sunday's final round in a tie for 33rd.

Salvaging the majors

Here are some players who are looking to rebound after disappointing performances in the first three majors this season:

Tommy Fleetwood
The 28-year-old hasn't won on the PGA Tour, but he was runner-up at the 2018 U.S. Open and tied for 12th at Carnoustie. He hasn't been nearly as good in majors this season, however, with a tie for 36th at Augusta, tie for 48th at the PGA Championship and tie for 65th at the U.S. Open.

Rickie Fowler
The best player to never win a major is now 0-for-39 in golf's biggest events. He grabbed a share of the early lead at Pebble Beach before imploding with a 77 on Friday. He tied for ninth at Augusta and tied for 36th at Bethpage Black. His best finish in The Open was a tie for second at Royal Liverpool in 2014.

Jordan Spieth
The three-time major winner's game remains a mess, after a tie for 65th at the U.S. Open and a missed cut at the Travelers. He was in contention at Carnoustie last year until a final-round 76, and his last victory came at The Open in 2017 at Royal Birkdale.

Justin Thomas
A wrist injury derailed JT's season after a hot start. He tied for 12th at Augusta, missed the PGA Championship because of the injury and then missed the cut at the U.S. Open. He ranks 10th in shots gained total but only 166th in shots gained putting.

Homeland heroes

Quite a few players from Northern Ireland and Ireland will be competing in The Open:

Rory McIlroy
The four-time major winner will be returning to a course where he's very comfortable and had great success. McIlroy grew up in Holywood, Northern Ireland, and he set the Dunluce course record at Royal Portrush when he was 16 with an 11-under 61 in the 2005 North of Ireland Amateur Championship.

Darren Clarke
Clarke, the 2011 Open winner at Royal St. George's, lives in Portrush and is an honorary member of the club. Clarke, 50, has missed the cut in three of the previous four Opens.

Graeme McDowell
McDowell was born in Portrush and splits his time between Orlando, Florida, and there. The 2010 U.S. Open champion qualified for The Open at his home course by finishing tied for eighth at the RBC Canadian Open in June.

Padraig Harrington
Harrington, 47, grew up in Dublin and is an honorary member at Portrush. He has won six times on the PGA Tour and 15 times on the European Tour, including The Open at Carnoustie in 2007 and Royal Birkdale in 2008.

Shane Lowry
Lowry, 32, won the Irish Open as an amateur in 2009 and has one victory on the PGA Tour -- the 2015 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. He has three top-10s in 11 PGA Tour starts this season, including a tie for second at the Canadian Open.
