Tweeting about the event, Irishman Horan said that the last-minute victory was "amazing" and he added that he has also played on the same Illinois course. He said:

"Cannot believe it! What an amazing win! Soo happy to be a golf fan and be european! And also played that course before!"

Referring to football team Derby's win over Nottingham Forest on the same day, Horan later tweeted:

"Great sporting weekend, derby beat forest,europe win ryder cup! Yeahhh budddieee."
