Justin Rose hails ‘relentless’ GB and Ireland side after Team Cup success

Justin Rose hailed his “relentless” Great Britain and Ireland side after they beat Continental Europe 17-8 to win the Team Cup in Abu Dhabi.

Rose’s team had won the first two sessions 3.5-1.5 and Saturday afternoon’s foursomes 4-1 to lead 11-4 going into Sunday’s singles, with just a further two required for victory.

Matthieu Pavon, whose perfect record partnering fellow Frenchman Romain Langasque had accounted for three of Continental Europe’s four points, was five under through eight holes but found himself two down as Tommy Fleetwood set the tone for Great Britain and Ireland.

A win for Team GB&I
