Tommy Fleetwood built on his incredible foursomes record as he won in both sessions, first alongside GB&I Captain Justin Rose in a 2Up victory over Continental Europe Captain Francesco Molinari and Julien Guerrier. Facing the same opposition in the afternoon, he maintained his 100 per cent record with three points from three as he partnered Jordan Smith to a 3&2 win.
Joining Fleetwood on three wins across the three sessions is Northern Irishman Tom McKibbin, who partnered Aaron Rai to a 4&3 victory over Rasmus Højgaard and Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and then Matthew Jordan as the pair won 2Up against the other Danish members of Continental Europe, Thorbjørn Olesen and Niklas Nørgaard.

The French pair of Romain Langasque and Matthieu Pavon battled valiantly on day two as they won both their foursomes matches for Continental Europe, after also winning their fourball match on Friday. They defeated Laurie Canter and Jordan Smith 3&2 in the morning and then Rai and Rose 4&2 later in the afternoon.

GB&I require just two points to reach the threshold of 13 needed to win the Team Cup. Continental Europe would need to sweep Sunday’s singles session to retain, needing nine points from the final day.
