U.S. WOMEN'S OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

June 30, 2006

Paula Creamer

NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND

Q. First of all, how did the course behave?

PAULA CREAMER: Considering it was wet out there, it held up pretty good. It was one of those things, where a couple of times I felt it out there. Overall it wasn't too bad.

Q. How did the conditions of the course affect your play? Was it wet, was it muddy?

PAULA CREAMER: There's a couple of ways to look at it. It's going to play long, and also you hit it makes the fairways a lot wider because you don't get a lot of roll out here; just wherever it lands is where it ends up. There's several ways to look at it like that.

But I think overall the golf course played tough, even though there wasn't much wind. It was still a very difficult test of golf.

Q. Are you pleased with your round at even par?

PAULA CREAMER: I am. Even par is a good score. Obviously it could have gone a lot better, or could have gone a lot worse. I made a couple of mental errors, but thought through it and made some good up and downs. I three putted No. 8, my 17th hole, which you never want to do. I finished with a good two putt.

Q. How tough is that putt on No. 9?

PAULA CREAMER: It was difficult. I was thinking about chipping it. I had a couple of ridges to go over, and I had my wedge out thinking I was going to chip it, but I watched Se Ri's putt, and I got a good teach from her.

Q. (Inaudible).

PAULA CREAMER: Of course, I definitely do. It's one of those golf courses where it's difficult with the wind and it's just you have to hit a lot of golf shots out here, a lot of long irons, a lot of knock downs. It's not the most creative shaping shots, but you definitely have to hit a wide range of hitting it high or hitting it low.

Q. You must have gone a little stir crazy yesterday. Does it feel good, is it sort of a relief to play today?

PAULA CREAMER: It definitely does feel good to have the first round done with I told Colin walking down the last hole. Waking up at 4:00 in the morning the last few days, you have to grind so much out here, and that's one of the reasons I was tired. But I'm glad it's done. I get to sleep in tomorrow, that's the best part.

Q. (Inaudible).

PAULA CREAMER: Definitely I would say the last several weeks. It happened at ShopRite, so that's through a major and the last couple of tournaments. I wish I could blame it on it. I'm out here and I hurt, but I have to mentally overcome that.
