Rasmus Hojgaard on the change to Europe after replacing twin brother Nicolai
“That’s a good — I don’t know. I think obviously Nicolai and I are very similar, so there won’t be a lot of change in the team room.
“I think the experience of Rome, I was there. I think as important as it was for me to get to know the guys, I think it was important for them to learn more about me as well.
“I don’t think it’s going to be a big change for them.”

“We know what awaits us, Bethpage is not shy, loyal and ferociously loud, rightly so,” Donald adds.
“You respect effort over ego, those who fight, grind and rise to the big occasions. You make us earn every cheer.
“We may not be your team, but we’ll give you something to respect, admire and maybe something to cheer for.
“Bethpage is the perfect venue for this contest, a public course, state park, it’s a course for the people, on both sides, they belong. Our players are ready. They’ve earned their spots, not through entitlement, but excellence.”

“It means so much to us, and it’s unlike anything else in this sport, it’s not about prize money or world ranking points. It’s about pride. Representing your flag, shirt and the legacy you leave behind.”
