GARY WOLSTENHOLME: For me, it's more important really. I obviously have a finite time to play these sorts of things, and I can't just go on tour and try I rely hugely on my amateur golf. Each time I'm selected for anything, it means a lot, and obviously it's great to be part of a successful team, and certainly as good a team as this one, it's very special.
GARY WOLSTENHOLME: I know we've got greater strength and depth, much greater strength and depth. We have always had one or two players who played well. The last one was probably the weakest team we had from the point of view there weren't the big stars we got in the others. That's not to say the last team was a poor team. It was a very gutsy team, and it's a team. This is a team, and we've got great strength and depth and got big stars.
So, you'll see a lot of these guys in the future competing in major championships and playing very well, I believe that.
GARY WOLSTENHOLME: I think the great advantages we've got right now is both Peter and Garth were players themselves. They understand how the players think. They understand what the players need, and from that point of view, I would say that we get treated almost better every time. It's hard to put your finger on it, but everything is so perfect. We've got the great understanding how the players need to prepare. We have had some fantastic trips. We had a trip around Chicago, which was one of the most memorable I have been on, and we were there as a team. We had a lot of fun, we laughed a lot. That's what makes it so special.
GARY WOLSTENHOLME: Obviously, it was different because we were playing in different parts of the world. This is special because Chicago is such a great place. America is such a great place to play golf. Obviously everything is so manicured and perfectly well organized. The weather in Britain can be particularly inclement. I think it's a great place to play golf. I really do.
MATTHEW RICHARDSON: I'm not too sure really. It's hard to explain what goes through your mind and the way you feel. Today's been a little more exciting. There is a few more people out there and things like that. The excitement is building today, but I won't be able to answer that until Sunday. All I can say now is I'm looking forward to it and there seems to be good spirit, so that's all, really.
GARY WOLSTENHOLME: I would say that the way things are going nowadays, we've got players that are competing in the states and colleges on a regular basis, plus the rest of us all competed abroad on a regular basis as well. So, this is just another golf course. As far as the way that it plays, the fairways are very soft. Obviously, I'm not sure that's probably the way it was initially intended. I think they would have liked to have a bit of run on fairways to create more of a test in that respect.
We're used to playing virtually every type of golf course there is to play. This is just the way it's playing at the moment. It's pretty much drop and stop. You're aiming for a specific place on the fairways and aiming for a specific place on the greens, and the beauty of it is it's in great condition, considering the rain over the last few days. It's in great condition, and I think everyone is looking forward to it.
MATTHEW RICHARDSON: Well, for me this is going to be my last amateur event. I have wanted to play Walker Cup for a long time. My goal was to make the Ganton team and this one. One out of two isn't so bad. It's just it's something that I first saw on the tellie when they played, and I didn't even know what it was. It looked pretty cool, and I said I fan of playing it. Then I found out what it was, and I got myself set on doing that. I'm going to turn pro after this.
