Q. This is your second time playing the Open de España, how does it feel to be back?

TOMMY FLEETWOOD: It's really nice to be back. I think whenever we -- with the way the world schedule is these days, when we get a chance to come back and play in a major European city and an historical tournament that has been such a big part of this tour, it always gives us guys such a warm, lovely feeling when we come back.

I think this showcases everything that is great about Europe and about this tour, and it's always a pleasure to come back and play in front of so many fans that love golf, so many great players. And you see so many great faces that you've known for such a long time, and everybody's always so great and so kind to us and very excited about being back.

Q. What are your expectations of the ACCIONA Open de España presented by Madrid?

SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, I expect a lot. I watch this tournament on TV. I watch a lot of golf, and I've watched this tournament on TV for years, and I watched Matthieu win last year and I saw Jon win a couple of times, also.

Madrid is a place where, like Tommy says, you come to a first European city, and I've come here for 12 years, you see how much the city has grown and developed. We are fortunate that we have companies like ACCIONA here and willing to sponsor a tournament like this, and all the initiative they are doing with the sustainability and all that is very cool.

So it's great to be involved in a tournament like this. I love playing on the European Tour, on the DP World Tour, and it's great to be back here. Hopefully I can go ahead and have a great tournament.
