PINEHURST, N.C. -- For only the second time, golfs oldest major championship will be played in Northern Ireland when the British Open returns to Royal Portrush Golf Club in 2019. Media reports from Ireland and the United Kingdom said the Royal & Ancient, golfs governing body outside the United States and Mexico, will make the formal announcement Monday. The R&A denied reports about a return to Portrush last summer, saying the course was championship-calibre but questioning whether the infrastructure could accommodate the events big galleries. There was speculation that R&A officials may have changed their minds after Ted Bishop, president of the PGA of America, said last November that his group was interested in Portrush as a venue for the PGA Championship if the event was to be held outside the United States. The earliest date that might happen would be 2020. Major champions and Northern Irishmen Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell had been lobbying on Portrushs behalf. "Ive been kind of hesitant to comment because I really didnt want to take anything away from the official announcement," said McDowell, who was three shots off the lead Thursday after the opening round of the U.S. Open at Pinehurst. "So Im very proud of where I grew up. Im very proud of the tradition and history there, and to bring an Open Championship back to Northern Ireland is very special. It speaks volumes about how far the country has come." The only time the Open was only played outside England and Scotland was 1951, when Max Faulkner won at Portrush. The 2012 Irish Open was played at Portrush, with more than 100,000 fans attending the event. Wholesale Fake Air Jordan 1 .

Hull is only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.The only downside for United, in a season that has already been blighted by injuries, was the loss of record signing Angel di Maria early on with a hamstring problem, while Rooney limped off after taking a blow in stoppage time.Although Van Gaal expects Rooney to be fit to face Stoke on Tuesday, the manager said Di Maria is out of the match.Even without the Argentinian from the 14th minute, United strolled through Saturdays game, while Hull struggled to gain a meaningful touch in the first half.Van Gaal fielded a back four instead of his normal three-man back line, with Smalling and Marcos Rojo, the only specialist defenders in the side, filling the centre back spots.Smalling looked like a player transformed from the man sent off in the loss at Manchester City four weeks ago, attacking with vigour and looking compoosed in all areas of the field.ddddddddddddUnited was intent on attack with Juan Mata and Di Maria deployed in support of Rooney and Van Persie, who was retained despite recent poor form and the availability of Radamel Falcao after injury.It was Rooney who set the tone when he cut inside and flashed a shot wide after five minutes. And after Di Maria came off, United actually looked sharper with Ander Herrera on the field.Smallings opener in the 16th owed much to poor Hull defending and goal-line technology.Hull failed to deal with Rooneys corner and Van Persie nipped in to head at goal. It was a weak effort but goalkeeper Allan McGregor flapped unconvincingly and Smalling diverted it back toward goal. McGregor got in the way for a second time but could not prevent it crossing the line.The game began to resemble a training exercise at times, such was the ease with which United controlled possession.When Herrera headed down Juan Matas cross, Curtis Davies had chance to clear but hesitated and paid the price. Van Persie laid the ball off to Rooney and the captain hit a crisp low strike past McGregor from 20 yards (meters) in the 42nd.Van Persies goal came in the 66th, turning James Chester on the edge of the box and rifling a left-footed shot into the roof of the net. The Netherlands striker made way for fit-again Falcao moments later but had made a point after a week of heavy criticism. ' ' '
