PUERTO RICO OPEN PRESENTED BY BANCO POPULAR


March 20, 2008


Nicholas Thompson


RIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO

Q. 5 under par today (inaudible).
NICHOLAS THOMPSON: You know what? I mean, I played very solid. I had six birdies, one bogey. The one bogey was a 3-putt. Every time I missed the green, I chipped it really close so it had a good chance of going in. I just played solid.

So, I mean, I am hitting on or beside all of those.

Q. (Inaudible).
NICHOLAS THOMPSON: Yeah. I mean, I performed good and bad this year at times. It all kind of depends on -- I hit the ball pretty similar every week. It kind of all depends on how the putter shows up.
And, I mean, while my hitting stats don't look as good as they are, I hit a lot of 15, 18-footers for birdie that are just on the fringe. I tend to gun at a lot of pins. So I know I end up on a lot of fringes on the short side, which is not a bad side to be, but it tends to (inaudible).
