Quick Quotes

Q. 11 1/2 points?

DARREN CLARKE: It's irrelevant. It's all about the team. It's what everybody's doing. You've got Monty out there this morning going off of No. 1, as he's done for years in Ryder Cups, just brilliantly. So far this morning, we're having a good start.

Q. I know you remember a couple of years back, and is that the strategy today? Get out there, put your foot on the gas, and don't get off?

DARREN CLARKE: I think any team would have said the same thing. That's what everybody wanted to do, and it just happens to be the Europeans so far this morning. I've hit some good shots, and I'm making the putts.

We've still got a lot of points to play for this afternoon. There's a lot of golf left to be played.

Q. Is there a part of you and the team that's like, hey, we don't need much. Just go straight back to the tee. Come on.

DARREN CLARKE: I would love to go straight there. It would be great to go straight there and get out and keep on going, especially with the way we've played this morning. We've got a break, have a little rest. Maybe a little rain coming through, once that passes through, get back out there.

Certainly Europeans aren't going to take it for granted. We're going to go and go again and hopefully have the same sort of morning as we've done today.
