Team Europe easily beat Team USA on Sunday in the Ryder Cup, and it didn’t take long for the celebrations to begin. There were tears, cheers … and post-box impersonations.
Tommy Fleetwood
Always the fan favorite, and one half of Europe’s best pairing with Francesco Molinari, Fleetwood took over the crowd after the Europeans clinched their victory:
He paid tribute to partner Molinari …
He bear-hugged Ian Poulter …
He re-enacted his Hole 16 squat celebration from Friday’s Day 1 …
He crowd surfed …
If @ovi8 and @TommyFleetwood1 ever partied together with the Stanley and Ryder Cups, I think the earth would melt.

But all that didn’t seem to trump Poulter’s move …
The post-box move. Poulter took the outfit off a fan and made it his own.
An emotional Garcia wins again

From fellow golfers to some of the top Premier League clubs, the interwebs weighed in:
