DUFFY WALDORF: I was over at the Ogrins house, David Ogrin, who lives here in San Antonio, is a good friend of mine. He invited us over for lasagna dinner. As he said, the keys of victory is hitting it close to the pin, making the putt, and having lasagna. I've played well the two times I've done it, and he did it when he won. I think Loren Roberts did he when he won last year.
Q. Everybody was there last night.
DUFFY WALDORF: We had four there, me, David, and Tom Lehman and Loren Roberts. Hopefully the win will come out of that group. I had their kids do balls. I had a moose on one of them, "Don't mess with Texas," with a couple of Texas flags. That ball did pretty well. One of the balls that Dana Ogrin did was, it just had nice little designs on it and kind of a pretty one. They all did well today. There was no ball that was a favorite, they all showed up and did well. It's nice to have some guest artists like I did this week with the Ogrin children, and Melissa Lehman did one. Hers is due to come out tomorrow.
Q. Does Ogrin's wife make the meal? Does it have to be her making it?
DUFFY WALDORF: He's not going to make it. He's there to drink the wine with me. He has a more important job to do. She always makes the meal, yes. She had to make two trays.
Q. Do you like your position tomorrow, that you're going to be paired with somebody that hasn't won in a long time?
DUFFY WALDORF: What's important is I'm playing well. I don't know how -- if I'm playing with Tommy Armour and he's playing well. He will probably be tough to beat. I'm not going to go out there to try to beat him. I'm going to do the things I did today and put up a score. Hopefully it's a low one. It could be windy tomorrow. You don't know what the conditions are going to be, where the pins are. You can't go out there thinking about a score, you have to go out and take what the course gives you and what your game has that day.
Q. With the lasagna, are any of the other guys clamoring for invites or work their way in to get some lasagna, as well?
DUFFY WALDORF: With your permission, that's just our little secret. You will keep that a secret, won't you? Party at the Ogrins' house next year. 50 Tour pros show up.
Q. I wonder if Ogrin is wondering why the lasagna hasn't worked for him?
DUFFY WALDORF: It's not a guarantee, because there's usually only 3 to 5 guys over anyway, but it's got a pretty good winning percentage, considering how small the group is that comes there. It's not like the players' party on Thursday night when 60 people are there.
Q. Don't you think he says, honey, what about something for the home team?
DUFFY WALDORF: He had lasagna in '96, so it's pretty good.
Q. Lasagna only has so much power?
DUFFY WALDORF: Last year I didn't show up because I didn't make the cut. The lasagna has only so much power. I'm on my own tomorrow.
Q. David has been hurt, hasn't he?
DUFFY WALDORF: He's been reasonably healthy. He has been playing this year. He's been struggling with his putting, I know that.
JOAN v.T. ALEXANDER: Let's go through your round.
DUFFY WALDORF: I birdied the first hole, I hit a wedge in from 115 yards and hit it about 12 feet and made it.
I birdied all the way to No. 6. I hit an 8-iron in there about -- I made a nice 20-footer.
The next hole, a short hole, I hit a 60-yard pitch shot, pitched it close, 5 feet, made it for birdie.
9, hit it to three feet with a pitching wedge and made that for birdie.
No. 2, I had 120-yard shot, hit it in there 15 feet and made that.
Next hole, 155 yard down the hill and I punched an 8-iron and hit it in there three feet.
The next hole, I hit my second shot left of the green, the par 5, and pitched it up about four feet and made that for birdie.
And then on 18, I had 171 yards and hit it 170 yards one foot, just on line, made about a 2-footer for par, or birdie, whatever that was -- birdie.
JOAN v.T. ALEXANDER: Thank you for joining us.
DUFFY WALDORF: Hope to see you tomorrow.
