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.”

Sam Burns reached over the fence at the Bethpage driving range and handed over a Callaway nine iron to a young fan. His generous act, bettering teammate Xander Schauffele’s signed glove moments before, underlined the mood days out from the 2025 Ryder Cup.

But forgotten in this gentle and jovial build-up is the inevitable storm brewing, not just the inclement weather forcing the opening ceremony to take place on Wednesday evening, instead of the traditional slot on the eve of day one, either.

Luke Donald praises New York crowds at Ryder Cup

“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.”

Luke Donald emphasises Europe not playing for money in opening ceremony speech

“It is an honour to stand here today as captain of the European Ryder Cup team,” Donald says.

“To lead these men, is one of the greatest privileges of my life. Not just individual players, from nine nations, but one team. Defined by unity, playing for something greater than ourselves.

“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.”
