A European Ryder Cup fan - who has been compared to Colonel Sanders - jumped into a LAKE moments after Tommy Fleetwood clinched the trophy for Luke Donald's men.<br /><br />Fleetwood, 32, made sure of victory on the 16th hole after going two up against Rickie Fowler - with Europe needing just half a point to win.<br /><br />And the result was then made official on the 17th as Fowler conceded victory as Europe reclaimed the title.<br /><br />Scenes ensued among the Rome crowd as the European fans descended into jubilant celebrations.<br /><br />And one man opted to sprint across the green and jump into the lake.<br /><br />The grey-haired gentleman was caught on camera evading security before he ditched his hat as he darted towards the lake.<br /><br />He then leaped into the water and began thrashing about in celebration.<br /><br />And many European golf fans followed suit as they could be seen jumping into the lake.<br /><br />But it was the man who sprinted across the green that grabbed most of the social media attention as many compared him to Sanders - the founder of KFC.<br /><br />One said: "Colonel Sanders is loving life."<br /><br />Another added: "He taking a break from promoting KFC? "<br /><br />A third replied: "Someone’s after Colonel Sanders’ secret recipe."<br /><br />And a fourth responded: "When you find the perfect blend of 11 herbs and spices."<br /><br />Fleetwood was over the moon to have sealed Europe's victory after a host of sensational performances from Donald's 12-man team across the three days in Italy.<br /><br />Speaking to Sky Sports after the win, Fleetwood said: "I didn't want it to come down to one of us at the back.<br /><br />"I can't wait to see the rest of the guys, the captain, the vice captains, our wives, our families, and the staff.<br /><br />"I'm so happy to play a part in it. It's been a bit bigger than I thought it would be when I saw the draw.<br /><br />"I'm so proud. We have an amazing group of people, we always do. This year has been very different and the landscape has changed for Team Europe but I couldn't wish for a better bunch of people to do with this.<br /><br />"We are one gigantic family and the bonds you make last a lifetime. This is just so cool."
