Quick Quotes

Q. I'm with the rest of the Ripper team here. Boys, congratulations. You guys are the team champions of 2024. I have to ask you, how much does this mean to you, and how much does this mean for Australia?

MARC LEISHMAN: I was just about to say that. Firstly, it's unbelievable to win a team event. It's not very often in golf you get to celebrate with other people who are equally as happy, and there's about 15 of us here. Yeah, I mean, I feel like this win, Australia has been behind us so much. I think it's a massive win for us individually, as a team. I'm so excited.

Q. You guys came close in Australia. You won, and it was up to the very end in Australia, came down to the wire in Singapore. What is it about pressure that makes you guys rise to the occasion and perform for each other?

LUCAS HERBERT: I don't know what it is. I know for myself, I stood out there being like, I don't want to be the worst score out here today; I don't want to get in and the boys give me stick tomorrow and the next few weeks about being the one that cost us the trophy.

I just think it's great, healthy competition within each other just to push each other on as much as we can. For the other guys, excluding myself, three of the coolest cats under pressure I've ever seen. Watching Cam on that 18th tee, I was like, there's not many other people I'd want playing this hole for us.

Q. Finally, for your fans, who might have woken up early to watch in Australia, what do you have to say to them?

MATT JONES: Thank you for everything and we can't wait to get back to Australia in February.

MARC LEISHMAN: We'll be back to celebrate just before Christmas, and looking forward to a few celebratory beers.

LUCAS HERBERT: Yeah, we've got some rings to show off the end of the year and the start of next year for everyone. Very, very much looking forward to all the events we're going to get to play in Australia, both end of this year and the start of next year. It's going to be a hell of a lot of fun. Might be some sore heads over the next four months, I think, on home soil.
