Quick Quotes


Q. It was the good, the bad and the ugly, wasn't it?

RORY McILROY: Yeah, mostly good for us. We're just so happy that we could get a blue point on the board. It's our first full point as a partnership. We weren't able to get one at Whistling Straits. We got a halve yesterday and a full one today.

Just really happy that I'm able to walk inside the ropes with this man, and he was there for me today. Yeah, I said it in the previous interview but all the credit for this win today goes to Shane.

Q. Was it tough to withstand everything that was being thrown at you today?

RORY McILROY: Yeah, it was a really challenging day. I'm going to sleep well tonight.

Q. You had to dig deep, didn't you. How often did things cross the line, would you say?

SHANE LOWRY: Look, we knew what we were going to get coming here. It was a very tough day. Being out with Rory doesn't make it any easier. I think he's getting the brunt of it.

But yeah, look, I think we dealt with it very well. You know, I said at the start of the week, I don't know what way I'm going to deal with it but I'm going to be myself and I was myself out there today and thankfully that worked.
