Josh Hill


Q. Josh, what an electric scene right now. You're here because you shot 62 in the south of Ireland in the training camp. It can came down to the very last hole for you to win the Walker Cup for the first time since 2015. How did you manage to handle yourself in that bunker shot greenside here at 18?

JOSH HILL: I have lot of confidence in my bunker game anyway, but I don't really know how I handled myself over that three-footer. I was shaking. I'm just glad it went in to be honest, because this is absolutely unbelievable.

Q. Great Britain and Ireland, you guys lost all the matches in the foursomes. What did it take for your team to rally, to come back and win?

JOSH HILL: I think we got in -- obviously it was a bad morning and we got into the team room and started playing some music.

We were still hyped up and thought we could go out and win. Yeah, we had that belief to go and win and we went and did it. It's going to be a great night.

Q. When did you have sense since that the singles matches were turning around for Great Britain and Ireland?

JOSH HILL: I saw a lot of blue early, and then I kind of didn't see a leaderboard for a little bit and I saw a leaderboard on 18 and then I heard Connor halved the match.

I asked Dean before my bunker shot, do I need a win or a half. He said a win. I said, all right, let's do it.

Q. What did you tell yourself right before the putt?

JOSH HILL: I didn't. I just tried to hit it quick.

Q. How would you describe this crowd right now?

JOSH HILL: I mean, it's unbelievable. Doesn't get better than this.

Q. Congratulations.

JOSH HILL: Thank you.
