Britain and Ireland Triumph Over Continental Europe in Team Cup Victory

Posted : 13 January 2025

Laurie Canter and Tommy Fleetwood quickly secured the final points needed to clinch victory for Britain and Ireland in the European Tour's Team Cup in Abu Dhabi. The team, captained by Justin Rose, entered Sunday with an 11-4 lead and required just two more points to reach the 13-point target.

 

 Canter delivered the first with a commanding 5 and 4 win over France's Romain Langasque, while Fleetwood sealed the victory by defeating Matthieu Pavon, ensuring an unassailable lead.

 

Fleetwood’s triumph came as Pavon struggled with a bunker shot at the 17th hole, conceding the match to the Briton, who was safely on the green. Fleetwood’s performance across the week was flawless, earning him a perfect record of four points.

 

 Reflecting on the win, Fleetwood praised his teammates and captain, saying, "What an unbelievable group of lads we had this week and an unbelievable captain. Everybody just played so well."

 

The remaining matches saw Britain and Ireland extend their dominance, with Tyrrell Hatton defeating Thorbjorn Olesen and both Justin Rose and Paul Waring earning victories over Julien Guerrier and Rasmus Neergaerd-Petersen, respectively.

 

Continental Europe managed points through Niklas Norgaard, Antoine Rozner, and Matteo Manassero, with the final two match-ups ending in ties. Britain and Ireland ultimately secured a convincing 17-8 win.

 

Captain Justin Rose, hailed as a potential future Ryder Cup captain, expressed pride in his team's performance. "The lads have made me look incredibly good," he said. "We tried to be relentless, play wave after wave, and everyone delivered. Match play is a game of momentum, and the way the team played was first-class. It’s an incredible way for us all to start the season."
