EDS BYRON NELSON CHAMPIONSHIP

May 14, 2006

Omar Uresti

IRVING, TEXAS

OMAR URESTI: I think this week I might have been down in the 60th percentile where normally I'm in the mid 70s. That might have hurt me a little bit, as well. Once again, I made some good putts. My putting is coming around.

Q. Anywhere else you'll be able to play?

OMAR URESTI: I'll be in Memphis now for sure. I'll crossing my fingers seeing if Colonial is going to call me maybe for a sponsor exemption there, but last time I talked to them, they had given all their spots out. I'm not holding my breath too much.

Hopefully the U.S. Open, as well, and we'll see if I play well in Memphis, I might even have a chance actually I'd have to get in next week and play well at Colonial to have a chance at Memorial.

Q. (Inaudible).

OMAR URESTI: Hopefully this tie for 3rd will help me there.

Q. What does it mean to not only get a sponsor exemption but take advantage of it?

OMAR URESTI: It means a great deal. I've had a couple sponsor exemptions before where I haven't played so well, and it's a little embarrassing and you kind of feel bad for taking up a spot and not performing.

This week to be able to tie for 3rd on a sponsor exemption is a great feeling, and I thank Mr. Nelson and the rest of the Byron Nelson committee.

Q. I know you said you weren't focused on the money, but did it go through your mind?

OMAR URESTI: Yeah, after Immelman hit it in the water, I ran in to see what 2nd place would have done, and it's quite a difference (laughter). But at the same time, Trevor hit a great shot in there after hitting it in the water and making that putt, so kudos to him. That was a great shot. And then Adam Scott to be able to make birdie there, as well. That's some good golf shots hit.
