WEETABIX WOMEN'S BRITISH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

July 31, 2004

Rachel Teske

SUNNINGDALE, ENGLAND

DANA VON LOUDA: 65 today and you are tied with Heather Bowie at 12 under for the lead. You must be happy with this position going into the final round.

RACHEL TESKE: Yeah, I'm. I'm very happy. I guess I have been close to putting a round like this together and not really finishing it off. I guess all week I've been hitting the ball really solid and putting really well. Today I just played really solid and got off to a great start on the front nine and played solid coming in.

The second hole, I hit a chip on the front of the green to a foot for birdie.

On the sixth hole I hit 5 iron to 12 feet, one putt for birdie. 8, 6 iron to 10 feet.

9, I hit a driver on the green to 15 feet for eagle.

17, I hit a 5 iron to I guess 18 feet for birdie.

On 18, I hit an 8 iron to probably ten feet for birdie.

Q. YouÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½ve said youÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½ve been close all year long, what has kept you from going low?

RACHEL TESKE: I think it's been not putting it that well. I think I've been hitting the ball fairly solid all year, not really putting well, but just making mistakes. I think hitting poor shots somewhere along the line and not chipping as well, not really being as consistent as I needed to be, I guess and then the putting has let me down.

But I've been putting better. I went back to one of my favorite putters that I've used over the years, the Odyssey White Hot No. 2 and. At the Evian Masters, I just kind of felt like this might feel good again, so I brought it out. And I started to roll the ball on the fairway, and that's carried on this week.

Q. What did you have before?

RACHEL TESKE: I had a Callaway TT3, a little mallet putter, I guess you could call it.

Q. What do you think accounts for the scoring today?

RACHEL TESKE: Well, you know, it's great weather and the course is in great condition. You've got a few par 5s that are reachable and a couple short par 4s, and then you've got a mixture of some long par 4s and tough par 3s, as well, but the par 5s are definitely a key. I think on the front nine, too, they get them up to a good start. Everybody is just playing a little bit better.

Q. How will you go into tomorrow?

RACHEL TESKE: Yeah, one myself really, just going to be determined and doing a good job on the golf course. Hitting fairways is definitely a priority, and started working harder on that last week, as well, and I'll continue this week.

So to get a good score on the greens and see the lines. Yeah, just play my way around the golf course.

Q. How many putters do you carry with you?

RACHEL TESKE: Usually I travel with two or three. International travel, I've had to cut back, but yeah, just two this trip, but two or three, easily.

DANA VON LOUDA: Thank you.
