Press Conference

Q. William, Ricky, you guys both step up huge late in the match, a very tight match. Ricky, let's talk about the 16th hole. The GB&I team in front of you hit driver, put themselves in a good position, you talk it over with your caddie and ultimately hit driver, too. Nice pitch from William, and then you make the huge putt. Tell us about the thought process off that tee?

RICKY CASTILLO: Off that tee, I just knew in the practice rounds that I could get up close and give Will a good chance to hit it close and make a birdie because that's what we needed to do in that situation. I hit a good drive, he hit a good shot to 10 feet under the hole, and then once they missed I knew that I had to make it, and I made it. So it was a good feeling.

Q. Obviously you guys are going to take some incredible memories away from this weekend no matter how it finishes up later this afternoon. William, your putt on 17 coming down the stretch, a huge putt for you guys to take a 1-up lead. Tell us about that one that you poured in.

WILLIAM MOUW: Yeah, I left Ricky with a doable chip into the wind. He put me in a good spot. After Fitzpatrick rolled a good putt, we saw it broke a little left, so that certified my read, right edge, and hit my line and these greens are really good, and I knew it was in about three feet short of the hole. It was awesome.
