Team Sweden earned the silver medal after losing in the final 2–1 against Germany, despite Norrman winning his match. On both occasions, Norrman finished tied seventh in the individual competition.[5][6][7]

A hole-in-one scored on the par-3 17th hole, would have won Norrman a car from the tournament sponsor, but he only received a bottle of champagne.[8] It was the second hole-in-one on a par-4 on the 2021 European Tour.[9] With his achievement in the tournament, Norrman advanced from 1,016th to 658th on the Official World Golf Ranking[10] and qualified for next week's tournament, the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, were he made the cut.
