Q. Tell us about the atmosphere from the players' point of view.

PAUL CASEY: I've never seen a first tee like it. It was like a football ground. Great fans, a lot of chanting going on, but they're very quiet when you go to play. A lot of support for the Americans out here. They look like they're having a great time.

It's just been a wonderful atmosphere, very friendly. They clap no matter who makes a birdie or who makes a putt. That's the way it should be. Things are going our way right now, but even if they weren't, we've had a fantastic week anyway.
