Quick Quotes

Q. Ryder Cup winner once again. Tell us a little bit about the reception the first tee this morning. How is it to be back?

ROBERT MACINTYRE: It was brilliant. I've never seen the first tee like this at the Dunhill before. It was absolutely brilliant. Obviously, got a good feel this year.

So no, it was nice to put in a decent show today.

Q. Psychologically, how do you go from the ultimate high in golf, winning away at Ryder Cup on foreign soil, that intensity, that caldron of pressure, to trying to tee it up again and get it going again within a matter of days?

ROBERT MACINTYRE: Yes, it's tough. This week I'm trying to enjoy myself. I'm trying not to be that stressed out about it, that overly focused, kind of just take the rough with the smooth. And yeah, just, again, I've got a good partner, so we're trying to have fun out there, and it was a decent start.

Q. Seems to be working, 6-under 66. That's not bad at all, is it?

ROBERT MACINTYRE: No, it's all right. But the energy levels are quite low. It's difficult. But you've just got to try and manage it, have a few good things in a round. Yeah, you've just got to enjoy yourself as much as you can. I don't know if I'll enjoy myself over the next two days with the weather, but we'll see what we can do.
