Rose and Fleetwood clinch Europe Ryder Cup spots

With their performances at the FedEx St Jude Championship on Sunday, Englands Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood clinched spots on Team Europe for the Ryder Cup next month against the United States.

Rose, who won the US$20 million tournament in Memphis in a playoff, and Fleetwood, who struggled down the stretch to finish one shot off the pace, earned enough points to join Northern Ireland's Rory Mcllroy as automatic qualifiers for the competition on Sept 26-28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.

Team Europe captain Luke Donald is required to select the top six players in the Europe Team Rankings when the British Masters concludes on Aug 24. Donald gets to choose the other six golfers to round out his team, which will defend the Cup it won in 2023 in Italy.

“Amazing to have both of these guys back on the Team,’ Donald wrote on X above a Ryder Cup Europe post on Rose and Fleetwood making the team. “They bring so much both on and off the course. Let’s Go!”
