“Sticking at it is one of the qualities of success.
“We had three or four players below par, but they all gave 100 per cent.
“Having such a big points lead at this stage does not frighten me.
“I’m happy to be out there.
“As far as I'm concerned we have just finished the sixth round of a 15-round fight and have the comfort of being way ahead on points."
Ron Saunders.
