“I’m certainly excited about the opportunity, and when I found out I had a second chance, I grabbed at it, to be honest with you. “Henrik has made his decisions and he’s got his reasons for it, and I’m not really here to judge that,” said Donald, a former NCAA champion at Northwestern with 13 victories worldwide.

Donald said Clarke turned to him and said, “Once you play in one, you’ll never want to miss another.” Mostly, he remembers sitting next to Darren Clarke in the opening ceremony at Oakland Hills in 2004, his Ryder Cup debut.

Donald couldn’t have guessed then that it would be his last time playing the Ryder Cup.
