Afternoon Quotes:
PETER HANSON
MIGUEL ANGEL JIMENEZ
Q. Peter, try to describe for us how it
feels to win your first Ryder Cup point?
PETER HANSON: It feels great. Miguel
helped me out a little bit here in the end. He hit
two fantastic 3-irons on 16, 17, just fantastic.
Q. There's always a turning point, and
yours was the putt at 16. Tell us about that
one.
MIGUEL ANGEL JIMÉNEZ: That putt is
very important to get back again to 1-up. But you
can't have to forget the birdie he made on the 15th,
it's very important, it's crucial, because we both
missed the fairway and they tied the match at that
point. And then on the 15th, they both played for
eagle and we both missed the green.
I made a good shot there, but he made an
unbelievable shot from the edge of the water, and
put it to like four feet or something like that. That is
a very, very valuable point, and, well, I think we
matched perfect together.
Q. One last question, how much did
Captain Montgomerie inspire this comeback?
PETER HANSON: He has. We talked a
lot about it yesterday in the team room. It was a
key thing to get out yesterday and be aggressive
and keep playing. And unfortunately he made an
early eagle, Jeff holed a really nice 9-iron and
wedge, we got a little behind and felt like we lost
our lead a little bit and then had a great chance to
get back on 10 a little bit and both got very close
and didn't take those chances but Miguel like
Miguel said, the turning point was to make that
birdie on 15 and hit that fantastic birdie on 16.

Q. How loud would the cheer have
been in Sweden when he holed that putt?
PETER HANSON: I don't think as loud as
here to be honest. This is amazing playing here. I
have to say, playing in front of this crowd all the
way from the first tee feels great.
Q. One word to sum this crowd up for
us please?
MIGUEL ANGEL JIMÉNEZ: Fantastico.
Beautiful.
