The pair will present the Hero Challenge on the Tuesday of tournament week, where the professionals will go head-to-head in a sudden-death shootout on a floodlit par-three at Close House.

Ahead of the event, the duo visited the Shot Centre to take on the same par-three 18th that the likes of Danny Willett and tournament host Lee Westwood will tackle live on Sky Sports.

Gallacher comes from a golfing background and has experienced plenty of success in the Shot Centre in the past, famously firing to six feet in the Augusta challenge, but didn't find things as easy on the Northumberland layout.
