SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (AP) — The Latest on the Ryder Cup at Le Golf National (all times local):
12:35 p.m.
Thorbjorn Olesen was the only European player without a date when the Ryder Cup teams met for dinner at the Palace of Versailles.
So he was able to play the field.
Olesen photobombed a group picture of his teammates wives and girlfriends, which was posted on the European teams Twitter account.
The 28-year-old Dane says he just “had to jump in there and take that beautiful picture. So I was a pretty happy man for a few minutes.”
Olesen was the last player to qualify for the European team, giving him a chance to play for his mentor. Thomas Bjorn, the most famous golfer to come out of Denmark, is serving as captain for the home team at Le Golf National.
Olesen says he experienced “a different kind of pressure” trying to make his first Ryder Cup team. He calls it a “good learning experience” that shows he can handle a pressure-packed situation.
