London \u2013 Golfer Alex Noren has been named as the fifth and final vice-captain to Luke Donald for the European team at the upcoming Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n
Noren played a crucial role in Europe’s victory in 2018, securing two points from three matches. His performance included an impressive 40-foot putt on the 18th hole, defeating Bryson DeChambeau in Sunday’s singles match.<\/p>\n
This year’s Ryder Cup will be held at Bethpage Black, New York, from September 26 to 28.<\/p>\n
The other four vice-captains had already been designated and were also present when Europe won at Marco Simone, near Rome, in 2023: brothers Francesco and Edoardo Molinari, Thomas Bj\u00f8rn and Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Olaz\u00e1bal.<\/p>\n
Noren is the only new vice-captain, while Nicolas Colsaerts was the only vice-captain not retained from two years ago.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Noren, 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.<\/p>\n
He will do everything he can to help the team. He’s a humble guy, it’s never about Alex. He’s a good friend of mine. We practice together at the Bears Club (in Jupiter, Florida) where other players who will be on that team also practice. So he has a great familiarity with many of the guys and I think that’s really helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
