Quick Quotes

Q. Looking very good for the Europeans right now. Let's focus on Rahm, Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy. They are 8-0 undefeated, and they are the three that will now play five sessions. How important have their performances been?

LUKE DONALD: It's massive. Two years ago, out superstars, Viktor, Jon, all made a lot of points and they are playing together.

Yeah, you need your superstars to perform at their highest, and they certainly have showed that so far.

Q. Also good to get that last point in the morning session today. What does that mean going into this afternoon?

LUKE DONALD: Every point matters. A half-point is great, but we've got a lot more points to go, but valuable points.

Q. Rasmus is the only one of the 12 not playing today. Is that a change in your original strategy?

LUKE DONALD: Saturday is always a little bit more fluid. We have four really strong groups, and we're excited to see how the session goes again.
