It is quite possible that the European Ryder Cup team will have the exact same team as the winning squad in Rome two years ago—save for the first name of one player who looks exactly like the one he’d be replacing.
Rasmus Højgaard of Denmark earned the sixth and final qualifying spot Sunday at the British Masters played at The Belfry by shooting a final-round 71 and tying for 13th. He needed a two-way tie for 29th to squeeze in, pushing out Ireland’s Shane Lowry who was playing in the Tour Championship and could not earn points at the PGA Tour’s season-ending event.
