Quick Quotes

Q. Talk about going out Friday and the first tee experience.

MATT FITZPATRICK You want to play every game, so to get off to a start and play in the morning on Friday is extra special.

Q. Will you be taking him under your wing?

LEE WESTWOOD: I don't think he needs any taking under wings. It's going to be an exciting match. It feels like it takes a long time for the Friday morning to come around but finally it's here and ready to play tomorrow morning and getting that first session out of the way.

Q. And your opponents?

MATT FITZPATRICK: Yeah, everybody knows how good they are, and you see them -- Brooks does the taking himself and Dan is obviously a great player. I'm sure it's going to be a tough match and hopefully one that we can grind out.

LEE WESTWOOD: Obviously two good players, but foursomes is a difficult game. You know, you've got to try and get into it early and I'm sure we can do that. Try and get up early and just keep the pressure on.
