Swedish golfer Alex Noren has been selected as the fifth and final vice-captain for the European Ryder Cup team, according to Luke Donald. Noren, who previously contributed two points in Europe’s 2018 victory, joins an already established group of vice-captains. The Ryder Cup this year will be held at Bethpage Black, New York, from September 26 to 28.
Key Experience and Connections
Noren joins Francesco and Edoardo Molinari, Thomas Bjørn and José María Olazábal, who had already been designated. This designation marks a new role for Noren, while Nicolas Colsaerts was not retained as vice-captain. It was a big surprise when I found out. I didn’t expect it at all. I want to bring a good attitude to the team. Bring some knowledge. I’ve been in this game a long time. As a Swede, Noren will have a special connection with the team’s Scandinavian players, including Rasmus Højgaard from Denmark, Viktor Hovland from Norway, and Ludvig Åberg from Sweden.He will do everything he can to help the team. He is a humble guy, it’s never about Alex. He is a good friend of mine. We practice together at the Bears Club, where other players who will be on the team also practice. So he has a great familiarity with many of the guys and I think that’s really helpful.
