For me personally, it was the biggest and best organized tournament I have ever played in. I am sorry , that my results did not help the team to a better position, because I think that I did not play bad golf especially the first two days, but the disastrous putting ruined my chance for a better result we will have a chance to win a better position, I'm sure we have it."

"The weather was great, the tournament was well organized. I wasn't stressed or afraid, and the problem with my game was purely a matter of swing. I could definitely play better, the court was not very difficult," said Miro Gordan.

"I played well, only the putting and the game near the green was very bad. I am very glad that I experienced such a tournament", adds David Turlík.
