From the papers

RTÉ Sport (PA)

Pretty emotional... It's been a long process, it's been an amazing journey and I enjoyed this one. It was stressful. The US put up a fight today and hats off to them.

We formed a bond from day one and they gave me everything. They trusted me and they delivered for me.

The Europeans played phenomenal golf. My guys showed true heart, true grit, a lot of character. I love them. But hats off to Luke.
