Team Europe captain Luke Donald:

“I didn’t really imagine this. Obviously their job is not done yet but to have this stand in New York with most of the cheers coming from our side is incredible. Just the resiliency and the confidence these guys have in themselves, in their partners, is really, truly incredible.

“We are trying to get to 14.5 first and hopefully we can add on to that, too. The job is never done till it’s done. So I’m not going to sit here and be complacent. 

“I know how strong the USA are. They will have plenty of fight in them. They had plenty of fight today. Our guys had a lot, too, though.”
