Quick Quotes

Q. Well down early in the match, 1-down with one to play and you come up with that final birdie to get half a point. How proud of the way you battled?

ALEX NOREN: It was a very tough start and sometimes you've got to dig very, very deep. I think we played good from probably 6, 7 on, pretty good. I mean, it's not the easiest course to make birdies and it's -- yeah, it was nice. We played good in the end. I'm happy about that.

Q. The second day in a row that you've won the 18th hole to get something out of the match, how important is experience when the pressure is really on like that?

THOMAS PIETERS: It's lovely to start the season with these kind of fields but let's be clear, it was mostly Alex this morning. I played like crap. I'm going to play better this afternoon.
