EurAsia Cup Preview: Meet The European Team

Ross Fisher produced some strong performances in lucrative events in 2015, finishing second in the Nedbank Golf Challenge – the first event on the season – and tied third in the WGC-HSBC Champions in November. The last of his five European Tour wins came at the 2014 Tshwane Open.

Fisher proved he could handle pressure when he won the Irish Open in 2010, sealing a spot in the 2010 European Ryder Cup team. With five qualifying events remaining he was outside the automatic places, but triumphed with a two shot win over home favourite Padraig Harrington at Killarney Golf and Fishing Club. He contributed two points from four on his Ryder Cup debut at The Celtic Manor Resort to help Europe on their way to a narrow victory over the United States.

Fisher won the Volvo World Match Play title at Finca Cortesin in November 2009, defeating American Anthony Kim in the 36 hole final to collect the third European Tour win of his career. He proved himself capable of challenging at the highest level by leading all four Major Championships at one stage in 2009, with his best finish coming at The Open where he took fifth spot.

After a promising rookie season in 2006, Fisher stepped up another level in 2007 when he won the KLM Open, his maiden title. He came close to a second title at the start of the 2008 campaign but lost out to Phil Mickelson in a play-off for the HSBC Champions but soon banished that disappointment with a landslide seven stroke victory at the European Open.
