Britain and Ireland Poised for Team Cup Glory
In a thrilling showdown at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club on Sunday afternoon, Britain and Ireland clinched a narrow yet pivotal victory over the Rest of the World in the final mixed foursomes match. This triumph has propelled Matthew Fitzpatrick’s team to the brink of Team Cup success.
With a nail-biting 1-up win, Team GB&I now holds a 13.5-11.5 lead as they head into Monday’s decisive four singles matches. The Rest of the World can secure a maximum of 2.5 points, meaning Europe only needs two points to retain the trophy they so dramatically claimed at Seminole last year
Danish sensation Rasmus Hojgaard emerged victorious from a thrilling Irish Open, snatching the title from former world number one Rory McIlroy in a stunning final round.
Hojgaard, just 21, carded a flawless 62 on Sunday to seize a one-shot triumph over McIlroy. The young Dane played with poise and precision, seizing control early with three birdies on the front nine. McIlroy, chasing his first Irish Open crown since 2016, fought valiantly but could not match Hojgaard’s relentless charge.
With this victory, Hojgaard becomes the first Danish golfer to win the Irish Open. He now sets his sights on bigger challenges, having proven his mettle against some of golf’s finest.
