LPGA CORNING CLASSIC

Jenny Lidback

JENNY LIDBACK: I started on 10, bogeyed 10, hit a 9-wood over the green, chipped it up to about 15 feet, missed it. 11, birdied 11 wood to about 15 feet and made it. 14, 9-iron to about -- I was on the back fringe so probably about a 20-footer. 15, 8-iron, ten feet. 16, pitching wedge, 13 feet. No. 2 I had 3-wood back fringe, 2-putted for birdie. No. 4, 8-iron to about six inches. No. 5, 2-putted for birdie. That was it.

JENNY LIDBACK: Yeah, very much so. I haven't shot in the 60s too much this year. So this was really nice. I have been working really hard on my swing and it was nice to see it pay-off today.

JENNY LIDBACK: Cindy.

JENNY LIDBACK: Did she shoot 6-under too?

JENNY LIDBACK: Good round.

JENNY LIDBACK: Yeah.

JENNY LIDBACK: Well, hey, you take a low round any time, you know, especially with the weather kind of not too sure how it is going to be the next few days, and I know it is going to be colder. That I know. So I was just trying to get it as low as possible.

JENNY LIDBACK: No, I like tough conditions. I don't know, I think we are -- we as LPGA players, are very good at playing in the rain. Obviously it is not the easiest thing. You hope you like your caddie because you spend an awful lot of time really close, but you know, I mean, I think it all depends on what the temperature is. I am -- I don't care for playing in the cold weather and I know it is going to be cooler. So I'd prefer the warmer, for me the better it is.

JENNY LIDBACK: The course is in very good shape, absolutely. And obviously I think weather conditions are pretty darn good today, but I did hit it well. I think I hit 16 greens and you know, gave myself a lot of birdie chances.

JENNY LIDBACK: It really doesn't. You just try to keep making birdies or try to shoot the best you can do.

JENNY LIDBACK: Yeah, I know. I hit a good drive, hit a good second shot. I think we just -- my caddie and I just misjudged the wind and it was too much club and I just tried to tell myself, you know, it is like, okay, I mean, you have been hitting it well the last few days, you know, last few weeks, let's just try to forget about it, and it helped a lot that I made a birdie on the next hole because it just basically erased it right away. So that helped.

JENNY LIDBACK: No, one is not the easiest holed either. It's not the easiest green to hit, I don't know about that. On the front 9 at least you have a par 5 that you can -- depending on the wind you can reach in two or for me, so which you don't have on the back nine. So it is just kind of you just try to par the first hole, 1st or 10th hole.
