<\/p>\nRasmus Hojgaard says he has had a “rough” few days after Europe’s Ryder Cup victory as he prepares for the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi.<\/p>\n
Hojgaard tees it up at the Country Club of Jackson on Thursday as the Dane immediately reacquaints himself with American galleries after the Bethpage Black crowds gave Luke Donald’s team – and Rory McIlroy in particular – a tough time in New York.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old lost his two matches there – a 6&5 foursomes thrashing alongside Ludwig \u00c5berg on the opening day and a narrow one-hole singles defeat to Ben Griffin – and said he had never experienced such a “stressful and pressure situation”.<\/p>\n
“The energy level is not very high,” said Hojgaard, ranked 58th in the world and 87th in the FedExCup standings on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n
“The last few days it’s been quite rough, but it was all worth it. Whatever the outcome would have been last week, I was still going to tee it up this week.<\/p>\n
“Just had to prepare myself that the energy level might be a little lower than it would be normally. But certainly I’m still going to prepare myself as well as I can.”<\/p>\n

Hojgaard is a five-time winner on the DP World Tour with his biggest victory coming at the 2024 Irish Open, where he beat home favourite McIlroy by one shot.<\/p>\n
He makes no secret that securing his PGA Tour card for 2026 and returning to the world’s top 50 remain top priorities “so next year’s schedule looks a bit better”.<\/p>\n
Hojgaard added: “The Ryder Cup is only once every two years, so you put everything into being a part of that.<\/p>\n

“Once you leave the whole team there, it’s not going to feel so different because you go into what is normal for you again.<\/p>\n
“I think for most of the guys that were there last week, it was a completely different environment, and especially for me.<\/p>\n
“I’ve never experienced such a stressful and pressure situation as that.<\/p>\n
“Putting last week was obviously the most important thing with how the course was set up.<\/p>\n

“You could see that the European team stats-wise, especially the first two days, outperformed the US team in putting because tee to green it was very similar.<\/p>\n
“That’s where I probably underperformed a little bit, and there’s some other things that I can look at and try and improve more.”<\/p>\n
