Celebrations started instantly after Tommy Fleetwood secured the winning Ryder Cup point.

The Englishman secured a half point, before getting the full point on the next hole, on the 16th green. Fleetwood ensured a half on the drivable par 4 after finding the green with a beautiful drive and then two-putting for birdie, following Rickie Fowler's tee shot ending up in the water. 

It sent crowds wild, including one European fan who stormed the green and launched himself into the pond...or at least attempted to.

The fan was then joined by dozens more European fans who followed him in - brilliant.

Fleetwood secured Europe's 15th point on the 17th hole before Robert MacIntyre clinched a full point and then Shane Lowry managed a half. It took the final score to 16.5-11.5 to Europe.

The victory extends Europe's winning run in home Ryder Cups, winning every edition on European soil since 1993.
