LPGA CORNING CLASSIC

May 26, 2005

Sophie Gustafson

CORNING, NEW YORK

JOEL LAMP: We have Sophie Gustafson here in the interview room, 6 under par 66, leading the tournament right now. Sophie, we'll start off with your score card. Birdie at No. 2.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: That's a par 5. I hit an 8 in there, and I chipped it up to about 15 for birdie.

JOEL LAMP: Let me ask you this. The 8 iron, was it short of the green in two?

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: Yes.

JOEL LAMP: You followed that up with a birdie at 5?

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: It was also a par 5. I hit a 9 iron in there to about 28 feet and I had two putts.

JOEL LAMP: Birdie at 6?

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: It was wedge to 15 feet.

JOEL LAMP: Bogey on 9.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: I hit a 9 iron on the right side of the green. I chipped it to about 12 feet and I made it.

JOEL LAMP: Bogey at 11.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: I hit a 9 iron. I missed it on the right side again and I chipped it to about 12 feet and made it.

JOEL LAMP: Birdie at 12.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: That's the par 5. I hit a 7 iron a little bit left of the green and I chipped it up to about two feet.

JOEL LAMP: Birdie at 13.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: That was a wedge to eight feet. JOEL LAMP: Birdie at 15.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: The par 3, I hit a wedge to 5 feet.

JOEL LAMP: Birdie at 16.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: Par 4, I chipped it up there to about 10 feet.

JOEL LAMP: So you were just short of the green off the drive?

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: Yes.

JOEL LAMP: Birdie on 17.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: I was about 16 yards.

JOEL LAMP: What club did you hit there?

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: Lob wedge.

JOEL LAMP: It looks like your iron play was pretty good today, knocking it close a lot. Just your general thoughts about how you played today.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: I played good. I was excited about this week. Even though the course is short, I was going to play aggressive. I hit a lot of drivers, so I didn't really have very far for my second shot.

JOEL LAMP: Questions?

Q. (No microphone.)

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: Yes, it is.

Q. A couple players talked about (No microphone.)

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: Yes, it was the right club.

Q. (No microphone.)

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: I had a couple of bogeys. I wasn't really sure where I hit it.

Q. (No microphone.)

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: The last 18 months I have had some health issues. IÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½ve won four times in the LPGA and 11 times in Europe, so IÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½ve been in this position before.

Q. (No microphone.)

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: I'm just hoping that we will have the same weather.

Q. (No microphone.)

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: Kind of. I think the only explanation for that is the wind.

JOEL LAMP: Any more questions?

Thanks a lot, Sophie. Congratulations. Great round.

SOPHIE GUSTAFSON: Thank you.
