Watch the moment Southport's Tommy Fleetwood secures point to win the Ryder Cup

With Europe needing four points from Sunday's 12 singles matches to beat the United States, Tommy Fleetwood won the 11th game to pass the 14½ required.

Tommy Fleetwood secured the winning point for Team Europe as they overcame a final-round charge from Team USA to claim a dramatic 16.5-11.5 victory in Rome.

Luke Donald's side dominated an unbeaten opening day and pulled further ahead during the Saturday foursomes, only for Team USA to edge the fourballs session after a dramatic finish to cut Europe's advantage to five heading into the Sunday singles at Marco Simone GC.

 
Europe required four points to regain the trophy and edged closer to that target when Viktor Hovland brushed aside Collin Morikawa, with Jon Rahm producing more final-hole magic to claim a tie against Scottie Scheffler before Rory McIlroy saw off Sam Burns to move the hosts to the brink of victory.

"I really didn't want it to come down to one of us at the back," Fleetwood said. "I can't wait to see the rest of the guys, I can't wait to see the captain, our wives and the rest of our families.

"I'm just so happy to play a part in it and so proud to be part of this team. We've done what we came here to do. I couldn't wish for a better bunch of people to do this with. It has been so amazing. It's the coolest experience."
