石川選手のインタビュー その1
What they said: Ryo Ishikawa, Y.E. Yang
Q. What does it mean to you to win your first Presidents Cup match?
RYO ISHIKAWA: I just enjoy the week and playing with Y.E., he's a great guy.
Q. What was it like to have Ryo as a teammate?
Q.石川遼をチームメイトにするのは、どういう感じですか?
Y.E. YANG: He's young, but he definitely doesn't play young. I told him on the first tee that we should have fun and we did have fun, and we had a win, as well.
Y.E.ヤン「彼は若いけど、彼のプレーは決して若くはない。彼に1番ティで言ったのは、今日は楽しもうということで、我々はその言葉通りに楽しんだし、勝つことも出来た」。
RYO ISHIKAWA: I was really nervous today, but had nervous feelings that you get when you're about to win, so it was a great feeling.
石川遼「今日は緊張していたけど、それは勝とうと思うと強くなる。だから、とてもリラックスできました」。
Y.E. YANG: It's a very good day. I played quite well and had fun with Ryo. He's been a great teammate. I'm very happy that I could contribute to the team and I'm just going to go out and cheer for my team.
Y.E.ヤン「とても良い一日でした。今日はとても良いプレーが出来たし、遼と一緒に楽しんだ。彼は偉大なチームメイト。私はチームに貢献できて幸せだし、これから私のチームを応援しに行こうと思う」。

石川選手のインタビュー その2
What they said: Clark, Ishikawa, Weir
(石川選手だけ抜粋)
MARK WILLIAMS: Ryo, your first Presidents Cup victory with Y.E. Yang, just talk about your match today.
RYO ISHIKAWA: I'm happy with my first victory. I definitely need to thank Y.E. Yang. I think his leadership was huge, and without his leadership, I don't think we could have won today.
Q. I guess you were a little nervous yesterday playing against Tiger, very big day. Were you a little more relaxed today playing with Y.E. playing against Kenny Perry, and did that help you play better?
RYO ISHIKAWA: I definitely wasn't as nervous as I was yesterday. In a good way, I was relaxed today.
But I think Y.E. Yang gave me a lot of good advice today to relax, play your game, play your rhythm, you know, you can play slower. So I think his advice made it so I was a little more relaxed today.
Q. For Ryo, wondered if you can talk about all of the attention that you receive, obviously it appears to be pretty intense with the media following you every tournament, and I understand back home, perhaps even just going out at home, not even at the golf course, you get quite a bit of attention. Could you talk about how difficult that is to deal with, and how maybe you're getting better at it?
RYO ISHIKAWA: I've never thought that that's very difficult for me. Obviously because of the media, golf gets covered, and the popularity of golf will increase because of the media. I feel like because we play golf at a professional level, obviously the media is there covering it.
But also, I think because the media is there, golf gets noticed and I think that's an important part. And also, I would like to continue this good relationship that the media and I have, and hopefully it will be a long relationship.
Q. Two questions, one for Ryo. You have Y.E. Yang in foursomes tomorrow, so a question to you about playing with him, switching from Geoff and playing with Y.E. And to Weirsy and Tim, you've played on a few of these, and I'm not saying you haven't wanted to win the in the past, but have you noticed -- today you were down 5-1 at one point, even though the matches were relatively close, you battled back and you battled back yesterday. Is there a bit more fight or spirit this time around, do you feel, and does Greg have anything to do with that?
RYO ISHIKAWA: I think with the foursome, the alternating shots, I think the important thing is which ball you are going to use, and we have decided that we are going to use Y.E. Yang's ball, which is the TaylorMade ball, and that's what we are planning on doing tomorrow.
What I experienced the first day was that alternating hitting is really difficult, but everybody is in the same situation. And just like how we played today with good leadership from Y.E., hope to do the same tomorrow. You know, even if we are losing or winning tomorrow, as long as with Y.E.'s leadership, I think we'll be okay, and I'm hoping that Geoff will play well tomorrow, my first partner, and I think he will play well.
