Rickie Fowler

A joint runner-up behind Rory McIlroy at Royal Liverpool in 2014, Rickie Fowler's closing par at the Memorial Tournament ensured his spot at Royal Portrush.

One place was on offer at the tournament as part of The Open Qualifying Series.

His near miss 11 years ago was during a season that also saw him come fifth in The Masters, second to Martin Kaymer at the US Open and third at the PGA Championship.

Fowler’s biggest victory to date remains the 2015 Players Championship, where he played the last six holes in six under par and produced two more birdies to win the play-off against Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner.

His wins also include the 2015 AAM Scottish Open, while he won seven out of eight Walker Cup games before turning professional and since then has collected five Ryder Cup and three Presidents Cup caps.
