Tommy Fleetwood was on the 12th green during his first official practice round of Ryder Cup week when something beyond the course caught his attention.
The long-haired Englishman’s heroics from 2018 in France were being shown on a jumbo screen nearby and Fleetwood stopped to watch himself as the commentator bellowed, “Tommy, you legend!” following one of his holed putts.
“Paris owns a special place in a lot of our hearts and it’s the last Ryder Cup that we won," Fleetwood said."And it’s been five years, so it’s actually been quite a long time. “I was impressed with the way he handled the situation at the Hero Cup,” said Donald, the current Europe captain. “Tommy has a great way about him. He’s very relaxed. He has a smile on his face. He loves being in a team room. He loves the atmosphere. I think his game elevates having that support group around him.”
While Molinari again isn't playing — having also missed out on qualifying for the squad for Europe's record loss at Whistling Straits two years ago — the Italian is back in the mix at a home Ryder Cup as a vice captain.
