Q. The Irish duo, what is it about you guys, John, that makes you succeed as a team together?
JOHN MURPHY: I mean, we've known each for so long. It's just great to be out there with a friend in such a big moment. We just had such a good time all day. Even when we were losing holes or dropping shots, we just said, let's just enjoy every moment of this. Let's stay present and make good swings and enjoy it all while we're here, and that's what we did, and thankfully it paid off in the end.
Q. Enjoying the moment as a big moment as John alluded to. How do you draw down the emotion to be able to succeed in a format like this when you know so much is on the line?
MARK POWER: Yeah, I think, as I've said, I'd rather have no one else rather than John by my side. We just tried to keep everything as simple as possible. It's obviously a huge occasion, but for us we want to just enjoy it. I know it's a cliche, but if we're having fun and enjoying ourselves out there, normally good golf comes with that.
I think this morning the start we got off to was just incredible, and we just tried to feed off that all day. Obviously Pierceson and John, great players, they came back at us, but the shot he hit into the last, that 5-iron, it's pretty hard to describe how impressive that was, so definitely going to give credit to my Cork man here.
