Europe. We would have absolutely taken this last night if
you had told us we would be 5 1/2 – 2 1/2 up.
“Obviously in the moment right now, I’m disappointed I
didn’t hole that for a full point but the guys have done so
well today, and right now, it’s just about recovering and
resting up and getting ready for tomorrow.”
Shane Lowry: “Obviously we are going to be very
happy but we had this the first day in Rome. And Luke is a
great captain.
“He’s going to be going in and he’s not going
to be too excited.
We’ve got a job to do, and we’ve got two tough days ahead
of us.
“As you’ve seen, it was pretty rowdy out there this
afternoon, and you know, it it’s going to get like that over
the next two days.
“I feel like we did a great job today.
We would have loved to have won that point, but like Rory said, an amazing day for Europe, and yeah, we’ll take it.”
