WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP


February 23, 2002


Scott McCarron


CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA

Q. What happened after 10?

SCOTT MCCARRON: I played really well the front side. Didn't miss a shot, didn't miss a fairway or green. And, you know, I played okay, I shot 1-under and Tom played really well. He left the door open on 10 for me. He hit it into the right rough underneath the tree; and had kind of a restricted backswing and hit it in the water and I think that was the turning point in the match. I started believing that I could start winning some holes. I guess I was the closer today.

Q. You had the blade working pretty well, too.

SCOTT MCCARRON: Made some real good putts today. The greens are starting to smooth out a little bit. They are starting to firm up a little bit. I just really hit some great shots coming down the stretch today and made some real good putts.

Q. You said you were the closer -- you were more of a starting pitcher, but it looks like you had the closing --?

SCOTT MCCARRON: Yeah, I had the closing job today. You never know in match-play. I thought it was probably good for me to be down in the match in the first nine holes because I continued to be aggressive. I was not holding onto anything. I was just really being aggressive the back nine, and that was a lot of fun.

Q. Is the cup getting bigger for you?

SCOTT MCCARRON: I tell you, I am starting to putt so good right now, and it's just perfect timing.

Q. It looks like you are going to play Azinger in the next round.

SCOTT MCCARRON: Great. Paul has been kind of my mentor over the last few years. He is a great guy and has really taught me a lot about playing here on the PGA TOUR. He's a wonderful family man and he's been doing this a long time. Any time Paul talks, I listen.
