His outstanding performance included a 40-foot putt on the 18th hole, allowing him to defeat Bryson DeChambeau in Sunday&#8217;s singles match.\n\nThe Ryder Cup this year will be held at Bethpage Black, New York, from September 26 to 28.\n\nThe other four vice-captains had already been appointed and were present at Europe&#8217;s victory at Marco Simone, outside Rome, in 2023: brothers Francesco and Edoardo Molinari, Thomas Bj\u00f8rn and Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Olaz\u00e1bal.\n\nNoren is the only new vice-captain, while Nicolas Colsaerts was the only vice-captain who was not retained from the team of two years ago.\n\nIt was a big surprise when I found out. I didn&#8217;t expect it at all. I want to bring a good attitude to the team. Bring some knowledge. I&#8217;ve been in this game a long time.\n\nNoren, of Swedish nationality, will have a special connection with the Scandinavian players on the team: Rasmus H\u00f8jgaard from Denmark, Viktor Hovland from Norway, and Ludvig \u00c5berg from Sweden.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>He will do everything he can to help the team. He&#8217;s a humble guy, it&#8217;s never about Alex. He&#8217;s a good friend of mine. We practice together at the Bears Club (in Jupiter, Florida), where other players who will be part of that team also practice. So he has a great familiarity with many of the guys and I think that&#8217;s really helpful.<\/p><cite>Luke Donald<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London \u2013 Alex Noren has been appointed as the fifth and final vice-captain to Luke Donald for the European team at the upcoming Ryder Cup, as announced this Tuesday.
