BANK OF MONTREAL CANADIAN WOMEN'S OPEN


August 15, 2002


Kate Golden


VAUDREUIL-DORION, QUEBEC

NEAL REID: All right. Well great playing today.

KATE GOLDEN: Thank you.

NEAL REID: Could we go over your scorecard real quick before we take questions.

KATE GOLDEN: I started on number 10. And I birdied number 10. Hit it in about five feet or so and made that one for birdie. I hit a 7-iron in there.

And 11, the par-5, parred that one. I actually missed the green left and got up-and-down there for par.

12, I made a par. Just hit the green, two putts from about 20 feet or so.

13 I birdied from about, oh, eight feet. I hit -- I can't remember. I think it was a 7-iron.

18 -- I parred everything else on the back side. 18 I bogeyed. I hit in the left rough and I couldn't quite make it to the green. So I hit a sand wedge out. And hit another 60 degree wedge in there pretty close about 8, 10 feet. And at least gave myself a chance for par. And it just didn't break as much as I thought so I missed that and made bogey on 18.

Turned around and made a really good birdie on one. I had a 5-iron in there. Actually didn't catch my driver quite so great. And ended up making a good birdie there.

Just parred the rest of the way through until number 8. And hit a good 7-iron in on 8 to about 8 feet and made that for birdie.

And then hit driver, 3-wood into 18 and just caught the front of the green and made a bomb. I was about 23 paces to the hole. So that's about 66 feet. It was a good one.

NEAL REID: How far was your birdie putt on one?

KATE GOLDEN: On one, about 10, 12 feet or so.

NEAL REID: You say that's the longest putt you made in a long time?

KATE GOLDEN: Yeah.

NEAL REID: So you must have felt pretty good with your day then.

KATE GOLDEN: Yeah, I do. Actually, I didn't hit it very well Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. And was a little concerned about today, but it all kind of came together at the right time. So.

NEAL REID: Questions?

Q. Talk to me about your last shot. We take a picture of that shot.

KATE GOLDEN: Oh, you did.

Q. Yes.

KATE GOLDEN: Thank you. The putt?

Q. Yeah.

KATE GOLDEN: Yeah, I looked at it from the back and it just didn't look like it was going to break very much. And I actually pulled my book out and I had putted that in the practice round and I knew it was going to move left-to-right and I thought okay, just trust it and hit it out there, it will move. And just got the, just the right line and just the right speed and it just went in dead center. It just kind of fell right in. Those are the ones that make you want to play again. It was about 23 paces to the hole, so 66, 69 feet or so.

Q. (Inaudible.)

KATE GOLDEN: About five feet.

Q. Right-to-left?

KATE GOLDEN: Left-to-right.

Q. A real positive way to finish off. What does that do for setting up tomorrow's round for you?

KATE GOLDEN: Like I said, I didn't really hit it real well on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday here, and I hit it a lot better today. I still hit a few shots that weren't so great. But I managed to still make pars or 18 was really my only bogey. And I just hit a terrible drive there. And at least I still had a chance to make par. So I'm pleased with the way I hit it and I just hope I can keep it up for four days. Because it's kind of been a struggle the last few weeks. I haven't really struck the ball very well.

Q. (Inaudible.)

KATE GOLDEN: Probably I think earlier this year maybe I was in the media room. And then last year a couple times. It's four days though. So.

Q. Could you talk about your season, how it's been going.

KATE GOLDEN: It's been actually pretty well, going pretty well. I just kind of play up-and-down. That's just my game. I've been working on being more consistent. I tend to plug along and have a couple of really, really good weeks. And I went over to Evian earlier in the year and had a really good Sunday and moved up the leaderboard pretty well. And then kind of was tooling along, making cuts, not playing really well and then finished second in Atlantic City, almost won there. And had a little struggle coming in. And, but for the most part that's just kind of how I play. I would like to be really consistent and finish top-10 every week, but you just can't always get what you want. Maybe I'll try the casino.

NEAL REID: No more questions?

KATE GOLDEN: Thank, you guys.
