CHICK-FIL-A CHARITY CHAMPIONSHIP

April 29, 2004

Se Ri Pak

STOCKBRIDGE, GEORGIA

THE MODERATOR: Se Ri, thanks for coming in and joining us, defending champ, and you got started, you started the tournament with a great round today, 4 under at the top of the leaderboard. So tell us about your day, and we'll take questions from there.

SE RI PAK: Well, I finished in red numbers today but I really didn't have a solid round. I missed a couple times on the tee shots from the fairway. And the good thing is, I really didn't have a major problem out there, made some pretty good up and down a couple of times. And I did practice a lot of short game the last couple of weeks, after early this season started and it looks like I missed a lot of short putts somehow. Not really feeling great about it.

So I was having a lot of practice yesterday afternoon. We really had great putting all day long. Out there it's not easy. The greens are hard but sometimes slow and the wind is affecting; it was kind of tricky out there. But I'm happy about today to finish so well. I was not expecting a really good finish.

Really didn't hit great driver all day, missed left, right. I really missed a lot of fairways today. 18 in particular, you see the left side wide open and then the water, and the tee, they changed it up, so it's a little different from when we practiced. The thing is, I hit a great drive from 18 and I got one 60 yards from the pin. The wind is kind of left to right and I kind of hit it perfect, six feet I think, it's not an easy putt, left to right breaking putt.

But it's great, all day, feels great about my putting, and actually I made that putt to make my day today, so it's great.

Q. (Inaudible.)

SE RI PAK: I think this golf course, not really hitting on the tee shots all day today was, you know, not great. I missed so many fairways. But at the same time, on the greens, I have a lot of confidence, so it was pretty much recovery from a bad lie from the tee shots. And then after all, that's one day, golf is always, you have a great day and still can't even score well. Some days, you can't even play well and that happens.

Today, the thing is, I finished really great and it will be great to play the next three days. It was great for me today.

Q. Inaudible?

SE RI PAK: Usually I play well this golf course, this tournament. At the same time, especially last year, I was having a great week, because I won. And then after that, yes, I was having a lot of confidence every week, because I knew this golf course pretty much, and I have a great memory and that helps me a lot at the golf course. It was great, everything is perfect this week, so I think it will be fun.

Q. (Inaudible.)

SE RI PAK: Not too bad, but like downhill was going to be my feet was below the hole and the wind is left to right. You know, it's kind of a little hard to decide what club I'm going to use, but I decide for 8 iron, and then draw into the bunker. The bunker from there was not easy. But as I said, green is hard, but sometimes is slow, so sometimes I had pretty hard time to figure out speed wise, but still I'm pretty much happy about the way I'm playing today.
