HSBC WOMEN'S WORLD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

June 28, 2005

Birdie Kim

GLADSTONE, NEW JERSEY

Q. (No microphone.)

BIRDIE KIM: Oh, I don't think about that yet.

Q. What kind of influence did your golf instructor have on your game?

BIRDIE KIM: He helped on my mental a lot and then after that a swing a little bit.

Q. What would your plans have been last week before you qualified?

BIRDIE KIM: Actually, back to my home, Miami.

PAUL ROVNAK: Not a bad change coming here though, right?

BIRDIE KIM: Yeah, lose my ticket.

Q. How important is a match play tournament for the future of women's professional golf?

BIRDIE KIM: I think it's very important that women's match play should go on and maybe get a little bit better in prizes and more events.

Q. Have you been involved in match play before and do you like the format?

BIRDIE KIM: Yeah, when I was amateur I tried U.S. Women's Amateur Championship. That's match play; right?

I think I like. (Smiling).

Q. Could you describe the difference in how you approach match play versus stroke play?

BIRDIE KIM: Yeah, match play is more exciting and the more I can play it. I can play a little more aggressive on match play than stroke play.

Q. Have you played any other courses

PAUL ROVNAK: Atlantic City.

BIRDIE KIM: I think I won in Mana Lupa (ph) when I was playing on (Asian) LPGA TOUR.

Q. Did you plan on ignoring (no microphone. )

BIRDIE KIM: My feel was my feeling, but told me it looks like very hard, like if I miss the cup, maybe go over the green. I don't think it's not that bad. Maybe a bit of luck.

Q. What went through your mind when you hit that shot?

BIRDIE KIM: Actually, I didn't saw the roll. Just saw it go in the hole.

PAUL ROVNAK: Thank you, birdie.
