WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP


February 21, 2007


Jose Maria Olazabal


TUCSON, ARIZONA

Q. You went to extra holes?
JOSE MARIÀ OLAZÁBAL: Yes, I had a good start, and then I made a couple of errors on 5 and 6. And then he started to play better and made a few putts, and I was down in the match. Squared the match on the par 3, ball on 14, and then we go to 16.
I hit a lovely shot and he made about, I don't know, a 25-footer, and I had a six-footer and I missed that one, and I think that was a real blow. It was crucial to make that putt I had on 17 because, you know, it was only one more hole to go and I was 1-down, and the prospects were not very good.

Q. How long was that putt on 17?
JOSE MARIÀ OLAZÁBAL: About 12 feet, yeah.

Q. And then into extra holes?
JOSE MARIÀ OLAZÁBAL: Yeah, well, I hit a good tee shot on the first extra hole and then I gave myself a nice yardage for my third. I hit a lovely third shot about, again, five, six feet, and I made a putt.

Q. So looking forward to next round now?
JOSE MARIÀ OLAZÁBAL: Yeah, obviously. I mean, every step forward is important this week. Well, let's see if I can play a little better than today and make a few more putts. That's very much needed.

Q. But nice to get a first-round win under your belt?
JOSE MARIÀ OLAZÁBAL: Yes.
