Quick Quotes


Q. Your team started the day leading by two and they have ended with a score line of 11-4 after a wonderful day of foursomes play. What pleased you most about the performance?

JUSTIN ROSE: Just the way that the leaderboard got more and more and more in our favour as the rounds went on and on and on. I mean, the lads kind of finished every match off, every match off. Every match that got tight we either got back to a halve or turned them around to win matches.

All the tight matches I think we have really maximised, over today. That was my message to the guys last night. We had a full day of golf on Friday, but it was only 20 percent of the point total. You know, today was the big day, ten points up for grabs.

Yeah, they have done an unbelievable job just keeping the momentum going.

Q. You were part of the Miracle at Medinah. You came back from four points down away from home, but this is a mountain to climb for The European Team. Your message to the players tonight will be, what? Win the series in itself, as you've won all the other series?

JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, I'm enjoying the moment right now. I guess I have to come up with definitely a good message. I think that will be to win the session. That has been a bit of a team, just wave after wave, one of McGinley's lines in 2014. Just keep hitting wave after wave after wave and so far the lads have done that. Obviously for their obvious personal pride, for singles tomorrow, I want to talk about how that changes the dynamic obviously. So we'll talk about that. But everyone is going to have personal pride tomorrow.
