Tommy Fleetwood has shared his delight after helping Europe regain the Ryder Cup in dramatic fashion in Rome and labelled the team ‘one gigantic family’.<\/p>\n
Fleetwood secured the winning point at Marco Simone after beating Rickie Fowler and had also initially guaranteed the half-point required to lead those in blue over the line, his opponent having conceded on the 16th and sparked scenes of jubilation.<\/p>\n
The Americans found themselves staring down the barrel of a crushing defeat heading into the 12 singles matches but, despite being outplayed and outfought over the first two days, mounted a fierce resistance and delayed a procession.<\/p>\n
However, Fleetwood made the victory mathematically certain after moving two up with two to play, signalling the beginning of wild celebrations across the course.<\/p>\n
