SONY OPEN IN HAWAII


January 14, 2006


Vijay Singh


HONOLULU, HAWAII

Q. Here with the defending champion, he calls me over, he says, "You're next Mr. Slim," and then he asked me how I'm doing and I said I'm hanging in there and he looks down at my waist and says, "You're really hanging it in there." Heck of a front nine, I've got to tell you that.

VIJAY SINGH: Fortunately I didn't back it up on the back nine, but it was disappointing. I had a lot of chances on the front, as well. 30 was the worst I could have done. On the back nine, I had my chances and made two bogeys as well. You've got to make putts out here and I find it very difficult to read these greens.

Q. When you had 30, were there any thoughts of a 59?

VIJAY SINGH: No. (Laughing).

Q. Too tough a back nine?

VIJAY SINGH: Not really. I was just playing hole by hole, trying to make birdies. If you think about a 59 when you get to the last hole and you are already 10, 12 under, but I wasn't there.

Q. Seemed like you were on cruise control until you got to 14 and you had that hiccup, did you just halt the momentum there?

SHANE BERTSCH: I had a good chance on 12, as well for birdie. I hit it inside of I think five, six feet and missed that one then kind of got disappointed and tried to hit a big drive on 13 and pushed it right and didn't get up and down from the bunker then bogeyed 14. I just couldn't get it going on the back nine. Finished with a birdie here; could have been an eagle. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Q. Last Sunday, you made a big run in the final day and you said you were going to do that on Saturday night. Anything in store for you this Sunday?

VIJAY SINGH: Different golf course. It's hard to shoot too many under par here, I've got to shoot a career best round, and I think if I can get my putter heated up, I think I'll be all right.
