U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP


June 16, 2011


Stewart Cink


BETHESDA, MARYLAND

Q. Padraig said it was about as easy as you're going to get with the setup the way it was this morning, do you agree with that?
STEWART CINK: Yeah, the greens were receptive. They were still pretty firm, but the ball would stop. And, you know, with just a little bit of moisture in the grass makes a huge difference on a course like this. We had a little rain in the morning and it delayed the drying out process until probably about now. And if the wind keeps up -- we had it about as good as it's going to get.

Q. Do you like where you stand?
STEWART CINK: I like being under par. I didn't play particularly well today. I scored well. I didn't hit very many greens, but when I did hit the greens, I made putts. It wasn't a U.S. Open style round at all, but I'll take under par.

Q. What do you think about going into tomorrow's round based on how you played today?
STEWART CINK: I think I've actually got a really good attitude, I think I can do better than I did today. I hit some poor shots that I'm not very happy about. The attitude will be -- the rest of the day trying to figure out something to go with tomorrow that is a little bit more reliable, and hit a few more targets and come at it tomorrow with a positive attitude.

Q. How did you like starting on 10?
STEWART CINK: As I've been thinking about it for a day or so, definitely played that hole yesterday, and I wouldn't have normally played it. Because I played nine holes on Wednesday, and I played ten holes yesterday.
They gave us a little break by moving the tee up. And it was raining when we got to the tee, we had to do a lot of the mathematical calculations. I was over there early to see the group in front of me hit. I saw one ball, Heath Slocum hit a nice shot and it came up in the water. I added a few yards to what I was playing. And hit it in close.

Q. A different club?
STEWART CINK: Not a different club, but I would go with a smooth 5-iron, and I decided to go full on and hit it full. It was a good decision. I hit it about three feet.
