ALFRED DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP

October 4, 2007

Hennie Otto

ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND

HENNIE OTTO: First hole, I had about a 10-foot putt for birdie.

Q. What did you hit in there?
HENNIE OTTO: 7-iron. It was pretty cold this morning.
The bogey I made, I 3-putted. I missed a 3-footer in Hogan's alley.
Then I birdied 7. I hit it to about ten feet and made the putt, 8-iron.
On 9, I hit 8-iron just short of the green, it was in the front, it was another 8-footer and I made that.
Then I hit a wedge for my second to about six feet and I made that.
Then on the par 5, I hit 7-iron in, left of the hole, 2-putt for birdie.

Q. What happened on 11?
HENNIE OTTO: The 11th, I missed a 3-footer again, exactly the same as the previous one, right-to-left.
Then the par 5, I hit on in two, 7-iron in there. Two putts, it was about 20 feet.
Then made the best par in my life on 16. I hit 2-iron -- I duffed it.
On 17, I drove a 3-iron to about ten feet and I made a great putt there. It was a solid round of golf.

Q. You were down there --
HENNIE OTTO: Yeah, up-and-down --

Q. Is that the best you've ever played the course?
HENNIE OTTO: No, I've shot 66 before here.

Q. In this tournament?
HENNIE OTTO: 2003 or 2004, I'm not sure. One of those two years.
Yeah, it's a good start and the piece is behind us.

Q. Do you feel on a day like this you've got away with it?
HENNIE OTTO: Yeah, we did. We did. I mean, the other two courses are pretty fair -- but I'm lucky, I've been playing well for a while. It's a matter of time to get everything together.

Q. Do you feel ready to win here?
HENNIE OTTO: I'm always ready. It's just, you know, if I can keep it together. That's the only thing. But, we'll see.
