"As a team, today's win is a huge one! Not just for the fact it’s brothers and identical twins winning back-to-back, but for Nicolai announcing himself to the golfing world in the fashion he has done this week is just incredible and something we all felt would come. With the success Rasmus had early in his career, it had added pressure to Nicolai. The team has been working with him closely to achieve his known potential, but these wins are a great testament to that work and validation of our product performing yet again with two of the brightest talents in world golf.”
