It’s all right. It is what it is. I’m used to it. <\/p>\n “I’ve been used to it for 20 years now. It doesn’t really bother me.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: “It happens all the time. Shane sometimes just calls me Nicolai and then calls me Rasmus.”<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n H\u00f8jgaard has been mistakenly called by his brother’s name throughout his lifeCredit: Getty 4<\/p>\n Nicolai and Rasmus are completely identical twins and are stars on the PGA TourCredit: Getty’Never done anything crazy’ <\/p>\n Rasmus went on to tell a funny story about his and his brother’s experiences of being misidentified ahead of his Ryder Cup debut.<\/p>\n “We’ve never done anything crazy as such, but at school we changed classes,” H\u00f8jgaard revealed, delving into his antics with Nicolai. “The teacher wouldn’t notice for an hour and a half.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did that a few times.
