“We would tell each other that this is the putt to win the masters,” said Rasmus in a recent interview with Fox Sports and added that the brothers often “try to compete with each other”.

The brothers “really started” to watch the masters when they were “about 10, 11 years old”, Rasmus said to Fox. He remembered how Bubba Watson won the 2012 tournament as “probably the first real memory that we have in this place”.

On April 8, the identical brothers enjoyed a laugh when they arrived at their joint press conference in the same color outfit. “It was completely accidental,” Nicolai told reporters, according to CNN. “Ras was a bit earlier this morning when I left and when I came out here, he was sitting in beige pants and a green sweater,” he said.

“We actually thought it was not that bad when it comes to going to the press conference in the same clothing, so it worked out well,” said Nicolai.

The brothers admitted during their printer that they would “change” classes at school. “Everyone in the room, they obviously know that it is the wrong one who is here, but the teacher would not know,” said Rasmus with reporters per CNN.

And although they will compete against each other in the coming days, the brothers support the goals of the other. “I think it would be very cool,” Rasmus told CNN, that after the first joke he would gain his brother that the scenario “would probably be very frustrating”.

Rasmus unveiled reporters that their support for each other has had a long way since they were children. “I don’t think we supported a lot at the time … We would fight a lot more than congratulations,” he said.

Now that they are older, “we can now shake our hand and say congratulations when someone plays well and at the same time being brothers and friends,” said Nicolai.

Nicolai will complete ET on Thursday, April 10th, at 7:51 a.m. and Rasmus will play shortly after 12:30 p.m.
