ROME — The youngest player at Marco Simone Golf Club this week isn’t Ludvig Aberg, who was picked for the Ryder Cup team despite only turning pro in the summer. Nor is it any player on the American side.
It’s Nicolai Hojgaard, the 22 year-old European Tour rising star who earned Captain Luke Donald’s 12th pick. One of Hojgaard’s two victories on the European Tour came at the Italian Open, hosted on Marco Simone, and he’s ranked 3rd-4th-5th-11th in his four years on tour.
Nicolai is joined here this week by his twin brother, Rasmus. Rasmus didn’t make the team (he finished eighth on the European side of the points standings), but is a vice captain for Team Europe.
Brotherly support 💙
