Quick Quotes Afternoon Four-balls

Q. Justin, your reaction said it all. What emotions are you feeling right now?

JUSTIN ROSE: I mean, obviously just delighted we got something out of that game. We fought really, really hard out there today and didn't want us to be the only ones to let red be on the board the whole day long, you know what I mean. What an epic performance from the lads this morning. There were some tight, tight matches out there this afternoon.

The 18th hole was been so incredibly kind to us. Bobby, he's going to get his time today. He played good today and just couldn't get the momentum going, but that's coming. He's going to turn that around on someone this weekend.

That was my moment there on 18, which was for him and for us and the whole team. I haven't had many moments in Ryder Cups, I've had points, but I haven't had that many moments in the afternoon in four-balls and had the whole team around. That was immense.

Q. Your first Ryder Cup, how incredible to feel that emotion and adrenaline?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: I struggled on the greens today but that's why I have a partner. It was unbelievable. Guy's been World Number One before, and he's done everything in the game of golf, and he proved it again today.

JUSTIN ROSE: It looked like 2 1/2, 1 1/2 and thought, that's a pretty solid effort to be leading by three by day one, absolutely take that. I think the boys, maybe Rahmbo, Viktor, all making putts on 18. Us squeezing it out, 2 DOWN, two to play, this 18th hole with the setting sun has done us proud.
