Mr. Reliable: Tommy Fleetwood Delivers Again for a Victorious Team Europe
With his trademark consistency and positive energy, Tommy Fleetwood was a rock for Team Europe at Bethpage. His 3-1-0 record was crucial in securing the victory, proving once again why he is a perfect Ryder Cup player.
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – In a team filled with superstars, the quiet consistency of Tommy Fleetwood can sometimes fly under the radar. But at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the Englishman was once again one of Europe's most valuable assets, delivering crucial points with a calm and professional demeanor that steadied the entire team.
Fleetwood finished the week with an impressive 3-1-0 record, contributing in both pairs and singles. Whether paired with a veteran or a rookie, he showcased his versatility, seamlessly adapting his game to fit his partner's needs. His reliable ball-striking and cheerful attitude make him the ideal partner in the pressure-cooker environment of the Ryder Cup.
In his Sunday Singles match, Fleetwood was a picture of control. He took an early lead and methodically applied pressure, never giving his opponent a chance to get back in the match and securing a vital blue point for Europe on the board early in the session.
From the legendary "Moliwood" partnership in 2018 to his role as a veteran leader in 2025, Fleetwood has proven time and again that he is one of Europe's premier Ryder Cup players. His performance at Bethpage was another reminder that he is the rock upon which European victories are often built.
