WGC BARBADOS WORLD CUPDecember 8, 2006Angel CabreraAndres RomeroST. JAMES, BARBADOS: Second Round GORDON SIMPSON: We have team Argentina who lead by three shots, and I think Angel, if you had holed some birdie putts at the end it could have been more than three shots. ANGEL CABRERA: In the last eight holes, we could do three or four more birdies and we had the chances but they couldn't get it. GORDON SIMPSON: You must be very happy to be in this position, with young Mr. Romero, not old Mr. Romero. ANGEL CABRERA: Yeah, we are very happy. We played very solid and without mistakes. We're very happy and we want to keep like this. GORDON SIMPSON: Andres, your comments? ANDRES ROMERO: As Cabrera said, we missed a lot of opportunities on the back nine. He missed a short putt on 15, and we made 3-putts. It was a pity, that, but it was a bogey-free round and it's okay in this format to play like that in 4-under par. Q. Did you know for a long time that this man was going to be a very good player? ANGEL CABRERA: Yes, I know Andres for a long time and I know he's going to be a great player. He's going a good way and he will be a great, great player. Q. Were you surprised today by when you looked on the leaderboard to see that you were ahead? ANGEL CABRERA: No. Why? (Laughter). ANDRES ROMERO: No, I wasn't surprised because we were playing very solid and as we know and things were going okay. So we were not surprised things are going okay for the team. GORDON SIMPSON: You have as much talent as other players out there? ANGEL CABRERA: We are combining very well between them, and that's one of the clues why we are playing so good. Q. Were you ever going to be anything other than a golf professional? ANDRES ROMERO: When I was a kid, I had like a disease, and golf helped me to recover from it. And now it's a dream to be here playing professional golf and for me it's more important to be now playing. I'm not now thinking about that at all times, I'm just enjoying what I'm doing now in my professional career. Q. Could you tell us what the disease was and what age? ANDRES ROMERO: When I was eight years old, I had a problem in my kidneys and I was doing a diet for seven, eight months, very strict diet, six months without walking and staying in bed. Then fortunately, I recovered and I'm here. GORDON SIMPSON: And the golf helped your fitness? ANDRES ROMERO: I had already the intention of being a professional, but being in bed those months, gave me strength to try to make more efforts to be professionals. Q. Will this tournament, will it be a big thing in Argentina if you were to win? Not like Argentina winning the football World Cup, but -- ANGEL CABRERA: Yes, obviously it would be very important for our country and it's something that I'm looking to do for many years. Of course it would be great for our country to take a World Cup. GORDON SIMPSON: Andres, Angel, very well played and see you tomorrow. Thank you again. End of FastScripts… |
