for the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome at the end of this month by
naming his six wild cards on Monday.

Club at Guidonia just north of the Italian capital from
September 29 to October 1, are two Englishmen, Tommy Fleetwood
and Justin Rose, Ireland's Shane Lowry, Dane Nicolai Hojgaard,
Austrian Sepp Straka and Sweden's Ludvig Aberg, a rising star
who has just won the Omega European Masters in Switzerland.
They will line up alongside automatic qualifiers Rory McIlroy of
Northern Ireland, Jon Rahm of Spain, Norway's Viktor Hovland,
England's Tyrrell Hatton and Matt Fitzpatrick and Scotland's

2018 Open winner Chicco will be hoping one of more of the team

player to get six points from as many matches.
