Britain & Ireland beats Continental Europe to win Team Cup

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Britain & Ireland completed a 17-8 win over Continental Europe in the Team Cup, an event that gave European players valuable match-play experience ahead of the Ryder Cup in New York this year.

Tommy Fleetwood secured the point that clinched the expected victory for Britain & Ireland, which led 11-4 heading into Sunday's singles after a dominant first two days at Abu Dhabi Golf Resort.

Britain & Ireland needed just two more points from the singles, and after Laurie Canter beat Romain Langasque 5 and 4, Fleetwood defeated Matthieu Pavon 3 and 1.
