‘Nobody more deserving’ says McIlroy’s Ryder Cup teammate as the Belfast man wins BBC award

Tommy Fleetwood pays tribute to Ryder Cup teammate Rory McIlroy after he won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award. The 36-year-old won the Masters in April, beating Englishman Justin Rose in a play-off to complete the career grand slam of golf’s four major titles. He then contributed three-and-a-half points to Europe’s tally as they beat the United States to win the Ryder Cup in New York, their first away victory over the US in 13 years.
