Tommy Fleetwood’s disappointment at another failure to secure his first PGA Tour victory has been tempered by confirmation he has booked his place on Europe’s Ryder Cup team.<\/p>\n

The Southport golfer went into the final round of the FedEx St Jude Championship with a one-shot lead, looking for his maiden win in his 162nd event, but a poor finish saw him miss out on a play-off by a stroke.<\/p>\n

That play-off was won by Justin Rose<\/a>, who also booked his place in Luke Donald’s side, with his opponent US Open champion JJ Spaun guaranteeing his spot in the United States team despite losing at the third extra hole.<\/p>\n

Two-time major winner Xander Schauffele also booked his spot for the United States with his joint-22nd finish.<\/p>\n

Rose, who will make his seventh appearance for Europe, posted a picture on Instagram of him celebrating holing a putt from a previous Ryder Cup with the caption: “Reporting for duty Captain!”<\/p>\n

Fleetwood, set to make his fourth consecutive appearance, did similarly, writing: “Yes!! Very proud.”<\/p>\n

“I’m delighted to welcome both Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood to Team Europe for Bethpage,” said Donald.<\/p>\n

“Justin’s experience, leadership and proven Ryder Cup pedigree will be invaluable and his recent victory in America underlines the form and confidence he will bring to New York.<\/p>\n

“Tommy brings passion, consistency and an outstanding match play record, and he has shown time and again that he thrives in the team environment of the Ryder Cup.”<\/p>\n

Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, Englishman Tyrrell Hatton and Austria’s Sepp Straka currently occupy the final three automatic places for qualification, which ends after the Betfred British Masters in a fortnight.<\/p>\n

Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau and Harris English are currently in the USA’s final three automatic spots, with their qualification ending after Sunday’s BMW Championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tommy Fleetwood’s disappointment at another failure to secure his first PGA Tour victory has been tempered by confirmation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-60408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
