I think we found some great pairings and it has been a great week to start the year."He went on to say: "It made my job a lot easier because I didn't have to tinker and change too much. It's a great event, we really enjoyed it, the DP World Tour has done a great job of setting up. I think we played some really great golf overall. We'll celebrate appropriately, for sure."In an interview with Sky Sports, GB&I captain Tommy Fleetwood praised the winning team. He said:"Obviously we came here to win and wanted to do it for each other. But the first thing I said at the start of the week was team-mates don't remember if you play bad or miss a putt, but everyone remembers if you don't give 100 per cent and I couldn't have asked for any more."He went on to say: "I wish we could have got it done, but you remember these moments forever and cherish them, and I've loved playing with my team-mates this week. They clearly deserved it this week, they played the best golf. Some matches could have gone either way, but the winning team makes those moments count."2023 Hero Cup final day results Continental Europe started their day with a two-point lead over GB&I on Sunday at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, while Great Britain & Ireland could only emerge victorious in four of their ten matches.
