Quick Quotes

Q. Nip and tuck all the way. What does the pressure feel like? What does the intensity feel like out here?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, it's intense, obviously. It's nice to have the crowds behind you, but it is intense to know that there's some good golf out there. It's very windy as well, so tried to stay strong but didn't quite get the full point, but, yeah, still happy with the half.

Q. You must be delighted, proud of your performances so far this week.

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, obviously, a rookie first time doing this, so I was proud to get a point -- a half a point today and do my bit for the team as much as I could. But, yeah, it's nice playing Cheyenne. She played well as well, so it was a good match.

Q. You got the Solheim Sunday experience out there today.

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Yeah, it was a well-fought, hard-fought match. Obviously, up for most of the match, never down, but I was hoping for the full point, but half a point is still good for this first experience out here. So I tried to do my bit for the team.

Q. How do you describe your first experience out here? And I know you watched at Gleneagles four years ago. How does it compare being in the heat of it?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: It is way better being a part of it yourself. At Gleneagles, it was obviously amazing, but being in it and playing yourself is just -- it's indescribable. I think a regular event will be pretty boring now, so obviously, those cheers for Europe, and "Gemma" especially, as well, so it was fun today.

Q. What's been the message throughout from the captain?

GEMMA DRYBURGH: Just never give up. I think after the first session the first day, you know, just never give up. We really came back the next two days and have a lot of fight to go today but hopefully we can still do it.
