BOB HOPE CHRYSLER CLASSICJanuary 23, 1999Fred FunkINDIAN WELLS, CALIFORNIA DAVE SENKO: Finished 68 today. FRED FUNK: No, 69. DAVE SENKO: You have four birdies on the front, three bogeys on the back. FRED FUNK: Actually three birdies on the front. I birdied No. 1 which was -- DAVE SENKO: Let us start with the birdies real quick then. FRED FUNK: Birdied No. 12, hit 8-iron in there about five feet. Next hole, the par 5, I wedged in there about five feet. Birdied, 9-iron in about a foot. DAVE SENKO: Which hole? No. 6. FRED FUNK: Yes. 15, yeah. DAVE SENKO: 9-iron to how far? FRED FUNK: A foot. Then I birdied No. 1, my 10th hole, 2-putted, birdie, hit 3-wood in. Then I birdied the long par 3 which is -- DAVE SENKO: No. 4 or -- FRED FUNK: Hit 4-wood, made about -- DAVE SENKO: How far? FRED FUNK: About a 20-footer. FRED FUNK: Then I bogeyed the next hole and bogeyed the par 3. DAVE SENKO: What happened on No. 5? FRED FUNK: Just hit a bad chip, put it up on the front edge of the green and left it about ten feet short and missed it. 3-putted from the fringe on the par 3, 7. Then 8, I had it on the front fringe in two and made par. DAVE SENKO: Questions. Q. How do you think you played overall, and how do you feel going into tomorrow after a slow finish? FRED FUNK: Well, I am playing really good. I made a lot of mistakes this week. To be leading is a little amazing to me. I made a lot of birdies, and I have done a lot of good things. I have had three or four little easy chips, got it up-and-down. It is just a shootout tomorrow. I can still win the tournament which is the good news. Q. You have played here nine times before, according to the book, but you haven't had a lot of success on courses that might figure to play to your strength. Any reason for that? FRED FUNK: I don't know why you think it plays to my strength. Why do you say that? Q. Well, you are not very long. FRED FUNK: I don't know. I think I played good here or decent one time. I usually get a little uptight usually when the weather is really good you have got to shoot 5-, 6-, 7-under everyday just to maintain it. I get a little impatient and all of a sudden I am going the wrong way. This year I have been here playing really good and was just letting it happen. I have a new focus this year. I am determined to play good early in the season and so far I have. The other difference I haven't really played good early in the season. I usually wait until May or June. I have a chance to make a run for the Ryder Cup. I have a legitimate shot at it. End of FastScripts.... |
