Michael is not playing the next two weeks and I am in Madrid,

It is very difficult. You can walk to the next tee and not think about things, but if you do make a mistake and you make a bogey or something, well, it tends to affect you more.

I know the place very well, and I'm playing well. It's just a matter of keeping going.

I had a goal at the start of the week to overtake Michael and get some more Ryder Cup points, which I achieved. I can take it on next week in Madrid.

[Courageously, they won 15 and a half of the next 23 points and seven out of yesterday's 10 singles.] Thursday brought us closer together, ... This is the best team I've been involved with in the five years it has been going.

I think I can play in Ireland (at the next Ryder Cup). My current world ranking is ridiculous and I want to get back in the top 25 next year. I know I can, in fact I know I am a top 10 player really.
