Angel Cabrera

Eduardo Romero

ANGEL CABRERA: Yes, I was -- when we started off, El Gato, he was in trouble, so I thought about it. But I have great confidence. I have great confidence in my game, so things came out right.

EDUARDO ROMERO: We know that the United States is ahead of us, which is tough. We know who we have in front of us, but I think that today we were not very lucky, that we had very many putts that should have gone in that went out, and we can change that. Tomorrow, we are going to play to our full capacity. We know that we will try to get the trophy; but otherwise, we think that Argentina shouldn't be anything other than in the first three teams.

EDUARDO ROMERO: Compared to yesterday, tomorrow is a different format. I don't think we are going to play the same way we played today. Tomorrow is a totally different story.

ANGEL CABRERA: As far as how we are going to play tomorrow, we are going to analyze it with El Gato later on. And yes, I was able to shoot a double eagle once in Cordoba, playing a Skins game together with El Gato.

ANGEL CABRERA: He is supporting me because he knows that I am not putting real well lately. So on the 16th hole, when he told me just to lead it on, just to let the ball roll, I understood what he meant, but I wasn't able to follow his advice.

EDUARDO ROMERO: No, we played like we played the last two days. I think that the main difference was that today we didn't make any putts.

ANGEL CABRERA: I think that we are defending our flag already. And I think that we're going out there just to get the trophy, because we have many players -- the No. 1 player, the No. 4 player -- many players. We beat a lot of players and very nice golfers, so what we need to do is just win the championship.

EDUARDO ROMERO: As long as it doesn't rain, we can play with any kind of temperature, with or without wind. Our main concern tomorrow is to beat the United States, rather than what the weather is going to be like.

EDUARDO ROMERO: No, in my case, I have a lot of patience, and I know that just as well as you can make six birdies in a row , you can miss six birdies, but you can make six birdies in a row right after that. I wasn't really worried. I knew that we were not the only ones that were not going to make any birdies and that we were going to make only pars.

EDUARDO ROMERO: What is really important to us is whether we -- I mean, it is to win. Whether we play with the United States or we play with New Zealand, it is the same. What we need to do is just break that difference of three strokes and try to win. There is no other technique than to make birdies, birdies, and birdies. That's all.

EDUARDO ROMERO: Yes, we are -- I mean we are not going to check the leaderboard. Let's say only in the last four or five last holes. But we cannot just hit the first shot in the 1st hole and try to see what the other ones are doing.

ANGEL CABRERA: When you are a kid, you always have expectations. When you see the big players walking down the course, you always think that you would like to be like them. You always have expectations as a kid.

EDUARDO ROMERO: One thing feeds the other. If you play wrong, it comes with bad luck, as well. Even if you hit it wrong, the ball goes in; I'm sure things start changing.

ANGEL CABRERA: Like we did yesterday, when we get to the club tomorrow before the tee time, we'll discuss and check out the weather and decide who plays on the 1st hole.

EDUARDO ROMERO: We have the same confidence and the same enthusiasm as the first day. The tournament ends tomorrow on the last hole and the last putt of the last hole.
