TOM THE RYD FIT

JUSTIN ROSE has Tommy Fleetwood in his sights this week, but is backing his compatriot to make the cut for next year’s Ryder Cup.

The Olympic gold medallist is hot on Fleetwood’s heels heading into today’s Turkish Airlines Open as the Race to Dubai nears its climax. But Rose (left) reckons his fellow Englishman has a good shot at Thomas Bjorn’s Europe team.

He said: “I think Tommy has a great chance of making the Ryder Cup team. He’s a great golfer. He can play fourball, foursomes, he makes putts, he hits the ball beautifully. He will really contribute.”
