Q. Quite a match between you and Zach Johnson.

TIM CLARK: He made a great comeback on the back nine and lucky for me I was making birdies to tie a lot of those holes. Yeah, it was a great match, for me, I came out early, a lot of birdies. And unfortunately the Cup didn't go our way, but obviously a good match for me.

Q. You must be ambivalent, your team didn't win the Cup, but you had a very good week highlighted by some extraordinary moments, a lot of people will think back to the eagle you had on 18; what will you take away from this week?

TIM CLARK: For me it's always about being a part of the team and being with the guys the whole week and getting to know them in a way we don't out on TOUR. It's always a special week in this format. It's great to play the Americans and be up against the best players in the world. It's showed this week how strong they are.

Q. That was some pretty impressive golf out there today.

TIM CLARK: Unfortunately for Zach, I came out firing. Obviously my game had been there all week, and today I just felt very comfortable, very calm out there, and for the first time all week, the putts started to go. The first few days, a lot lipped out, but today, unfortunately for Zach, they all seemed to go in. Unfortunate for him, but he played great on the back and he showed what sort of fight he has.

I tell you, if I had not kept on the pedal, I would have been in trouble.
