Fleetwood and Rose Rally to 1UP Win After Heckle Targeting Fleetwood’s Wife at Ryder Cup

The comeback at Bethpage Black followed a crude first-tee taunt about the couple’s 23-year age gap.

Overview

  • Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose defeated Bryson DeChambeau and Ben Griffin 1UP in Friday foursomes to secure a point for Europe.
  • Fleetwood holed a 13-foot birdie on the 11th to draw level, then added another birdie three holes later to move Europe in front.
  • DeChambeau answered with a birdie at 17, before Rose converted on 18 to seal the match.
  • A spectator on the first tee shouted, “Your wife looks like my grandmother,” a jibe referencing the 23-year age difference between Fleetwood, 34, and Clare, 57.
  • Clare Fleetwood walked the fairways with family and celebrated behind the 18th green, with coverage noting her longstanding role in Fleetwood’s life and career since their 2017 marriage.
