QUOTES OF THE WEEK
Bryson DeChambeau on LIV Golf South Africa:
“I’ve just got to say I love everybody. Thank you for supporting. South Africa was unbelievable. I mean, got to be the best LIV event we’ve ever had.”
Dean Burmester after the Southern Guards’ runner-up finish:
“I had a phenomenal week, honestly. I could never have imagined a greater week for all four of us to be welcomed like this at home. It’s the greatest feeling I think any of us will ever feel. Each of us got to tee off on this first tee here, and each of us walked off saying exactly the same thing: We couldn’t feel anything. It was the greatest thing I’ve ever felt on the golf course. I’m just proud to be South African; that’s it.”
Phil Mickelson on his return to action:
“It’s just fun to be back playing. I really missed it. I’m glad I’m here. I wish I played better the first day, but I’m really having fun. It’s just fun to be back playing.”
Paul Casey on what it means to play in South Africa:
“This is important for me. This has got a special place in my heart. To see this scene today — actually just all week, the Southern Guards were amazing, Louis and those guys said, this is what we’re going to do, and then they followed through, and thanks to everybody, the government and the country and the fans to make this what it was.”
Louis Oosthuizen on bringing LIV Golf to South Africa:
“Since LIV started it was always a goal of ours to bring it to South Africa, and to finally have it in front of the people, we just want to show our appreciation of them. Being here — yesterday was phenomenal. Today was great. Each day was awesome. We just wanted to show a bit of appreciation and say thank you and see the guys next year.”
Charles Howell III on playing for a team rather than himself:
“First of all, I think it’s one of the great things of LIV Golf that we do have a team. I don’t know about the other guys; I feel more pressure playing for others than I do myself. Maybe that’s whatever an issue with me, but I don’t want to let them down.”
