"What an experience to be able to be here in Louisville in front of my home folks. My dad is out there, my best friends are out there, my kids are out there. It was phenomenal." - Kentucky native and US Ryder Cup player Kenny Perry.
"Anytime you can get our of jail like that makes a massive difference and can be a momentum shift for the rest of the team." - Lee Westwood after he and Sergio Garcia came from dormie two to halve with Kenny Perry and Jim Furyk.
"Anytime you turn the scoreboard around from being blue to being red, that's a boost not only to our confidence for the rest of the week but also to the rest of our team-mates. To pull back (to) even and end one up was huge." - Stewart Cink talks about overturning a three hole deficit in partnership with Chad Campbell to beat Ian Poulter and Justin Rose.
"I think they went for the easier pins and are definitely setting it (the course) up to suit them. There is a strange tee set up on number two. I don't get that one." - European captain Nick Faldo about the course set up for the morning foursomes.
"Certainly on the first tee you would take a 10-footer on the last to win the match and take your chances (with the putt)." - Pádraig Harrington on his home green opportunity in the foursomes.
"It was nice to find the first fairway with the opening shot. I worked really hard on my breathing and visualisation and just tried to trust." - European Ryder Cup rookie Justin Rose on hitting the opening tee shot while playing with Ian Poulter in the morning foursomes.
"You don't do too much wrong but a bit of luck not going your way and a couple of poor shots; we got punished for it." - Ian Poulter tries to put a brave face on a narrow defeat in the foursomes.
"He's really taken me under his wing. I'm learning so much out there while we're playing even." - Anthony Kim on his partner Phil Mickelson.
"Pádraig made some great putts. That putt on 16 to keep them from going down was huge because they would have lost four holes in a row." - Mickelson graciously acknowledges Harrington's brilliant 15-foot putt to halve the hole on the 16th.
"We had some great fans on the first tee. They were hysterical, had a lot of chants going. I didn't know five leprechauns and a matador could be so loud. " - Paul Casey on the reception from the grandstand at the first tee.
"Yeah, we got half a point against a very strong team but obviously we were three up with six to go so it's not perfect. We were under pressure the last few holes so it (a half) wasn't too bad." - Robert Karlsson after his foursomes match with Pádraig Harrington.
"They played great and we didn't play as good. So nothing much to say about it, really." - Henrik Stenson.
