MCDONALD'S LPGA CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY COCA-COLA

June 9, 2006

Dorothy Delasin

HAVRE DE GRACE, MARYLAND

PAM WARNER: Dorothy, thanks for coming in and joining us today. Nice round. You started out pretty strong and then you were at I think 10 under at one point. Finished at 6 under. Currently tied for second. Do you just want to talk about your day.

DOROTHY DELASIN: Sure. Just played some solid golf. Just hit a few bad swings and then just tried to finish it, kind of just finish strong.

PAM WARNER: Can we go over your scorecard.

DOROTHY DELASIN: Yeah.

PAM WARNER: Let's starts on the back. Birdie on 11.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 11? I hit a pitching wedge, it was 130 and I knocked it to about seven feet and made the birdie putt.

PAM WARNER: Bogey on 13.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 13, I hit a 4 iron into the green. I think I left it out a little on the right. And I chipped and 2 putt.

PAM WARNER: How far would you say the first putt was?

DOROTHY DELASIN: The putt? About 20 feet. I was probably about 25 yards from the pin because I hit it pretty right there.

PAM WARNER: Then birdie on 15.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 15, that's the par 5? Okay. Sorry, I'm trying to go through it in my head.

PAM WARNER: That's okay.

DOROTHY DELASIN: I don't remember that one.

Q. You were in the rough to the right?

DOROTHY DELASIN: I was in the rough right?

Q. For your second shot.

DOROTHY DELASIN: I'm drawing a blank. I'm sorry.

Q. Were you kind of near the rough on the right?

DOROTHY DELASIN: Oh, yes. Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, I hit my second shot into the right rough and I had about 40 yards and I pitched it to about 15 feet and made the birdie putt.

PAM WARNER: Then birdie on 17.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 17, I hit a 5 iron to about seven feet. And made that putt.

PAM WARNER: Birdie on 18.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 18, I hit a pitching wedge to about 15 feet and made that putt.

PAM WARNER: Birdie on 1.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 1, I hit a choke pitching wedge to about five feet. And made that putt.

PAM WARNER: Birdie on 2.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 2, I hit another choke down pitching wedge to about 12 feet. Made the putt.

PAM WARNER: Bogey on 3.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 3, I hit a 9 iron to about maybe 30 feet. And 3 putted.

PAM WARNER: Then double bogey on 6.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 6, I hooked my drive left into the trees. And I hit it out and I was still in the rough. I hit a pitching wedge short and then I had like maybe 15 yards, pitched it up and then to about seven feet and missed the putt.

PAM WARNER: Then bogey on 8.

DOROTHY DELASIN: 8, I hit a lob wedge that was I think 80 yards. But I was kind of in like an old divot. So I tried to punch it, but it was the ground was so wet that it just dug under it and I was short. I chipped it to about seven feet again and missed the putt.

PAM WARNER: We'll take questions.

Q. Given the fact that you had it to 10 under, are you disappointed at where you stand?

DOROTHY DELASIN: A little bit. Because, yeah, I was swinging it good and I was putting really well.

But I just put myself in good contention for the weekend, there's still a lot of golf left to play, 36 holes, and I just want to just keep the momentum up.

Q. Have you played with Michelle before and was the crowd a factor at all in the two days?

DOROTHY DELASIN: No, I never played with her before. The crowd was fine. I love playing in crowds. When I was winning leading tournaments, you know, the crowds were the same, so it wasn't a big deal.

Q. You kind of fed off that a little bit?

DOROTHY DELASIN: I did. I like having people watch and whether they're watching me or Michelle or anybody, it's good to just have people out there watching your group.

Q. Did you take a lesson recently? What kind of stuff did you work on?

DOROTHY DELASIN: Well, yes, I had a lesson with my instructor Brian Gathright in San Antonio and I changed my swing about two years ago and sometimes my old swing and my new swing clash, which I think that happened on number 6 when I hooked my driver a little.

So I was just kind of doing drills on trying to keep my head still and not lean and just little things. Just kind of fine tuning it, like a car.

Q. That swing that you had on 6, was that the first bad swing you had this tournament?

DOROTHY DELASIN: Yes, it is.

Q. Still the only one at this point?

DOROTHY DELASIN: I hope so.

Q. Is there anything about Michelle's game that playing with her that surprised you or that stood out?

DOROTHY DELASIN: She hits it really long. She's a good player. And they keep forgetting that she's only 16. She will get even better.

Q. Where was your game at that point in your life?

DOROTHY DELASIN: It's almost how I play now. I just don't hit it as far as Michelle, but when I was 16 I won the U.S. Junior Girls and I was just out there just playing and winning tournaments.

Q. How did you get into the game again?

DOROTHY DELASIN: My dad taught me how to play. And I didn't like it at first, because I couldn't hit the ball. And then I won my first junior tournament when I was 10 and I looked at my dad and I was like, yeah, I want to be a professional golfer when I grow up.

PAM WARNER: Any other questions? Thank you, Dorothy.

DOROTHY DELASIN: You got it.
