"It's an amazing feeling. First of all, I want to say thank you to all the fans... American fans and Europe fans. I was feeling a lot of pressure and feel like I can't speak right now."

"He really deserved to win this match. It's about trying to have fun." Shaw et al. also paid tribute to the fans who supported them throughout the tournament. "I just wanted to say thank you to everybody who came and watched this week. It couldn't have been the same without you guys," Shan said. "It's been stressful and a lot more work this year, I had to get the guys prepared well and get them together nine days before this." As the Mosconi Cup continues, Team Europe will be well-positioned to secure the title, "thanks in large part to Shaw's exceptional leadership and sharp intuition." The team's successful performance has been met with praise from fans and commentators alike, "with Sky Sports serving as a prominent source for this account."
