Quick Quotes

Q. Your team have had a fabulous day to lead 5 1/2, 2 1/2. Give us your reflections on the day as a whole.

LUKE DONALD: Incredible day. To win this morning was huge for us and we all know how important it is to get off to a good start.

We know how strong the U.S. were in foursomes. 3-1 was a great start, and the top two, especially, they were such good momentum and inspiration for our boys.

Again, guys grinded to win the session again this afternoon. That's another tick in our box, and I'm very happy where we are.

Q. They have coped so well with a really challenging environment. What has pleased you most about your team's performance today?

LUKE DONALD: Yeah, they thrive. It's not easy out here. It's loud. You know, the crowd is certainly on the U.S. side. But we have some crowd support, as well, which is fun. They are drying off that.

What can I say? I'm so proud of these guys. They know how to handle that stuff.
