VOLVO PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

May 29, 2004

Joakim Haeggman

SURREY, ENGLAND

GORDON SIMPSON: Your reflections on the day.

JOAKIM HAEGGMAN: I actually think -- well, yesterday I played really well, for actually about 10 or 12 holes, but today was probably the best from tee-to-green all day around. It was really tricky in the wind on the back side here. I kept hitting it straight -- from 13, 14, 15, couldn't get it close and on 17, I drove it perfect down the middle of the fairway.

It was a lit bit frustrating not to get a score on that stage. He'll really happy to squeeze a birdie on the last hole where I sort of hooked the tee ball into the left-hand fairway trap, so in the end, happy to get away with 2-under. Could have been a lot better, but steady golf, happy about that.

GORDON SIMPSON: Fantastic leaderboard looking into the last day.

JOAKIM HAEGGMAN: Yeah, I make all the difference, don't I? (Laughing).

It's absolutely great. It's nice to be involved in it and have a chance to perform well with these guys. It's really nice.

GORDON SIMPSON: It's been a good season all around, you won Qatar, and last week you were close.

JOAKIM HAEGGMAN: Yeah, it's been a very steady season, quite a few Top 10's and winning Qatar. Considering I was on the crutches trying to get the pins out in October, it has really been a change. It's amazing really.

Q. Do you get more excited as the Ryder Cup becomes more of a possibility?

JOAKIM HAEGGMAN: It is getting very excited. This is an opportunity that you could not dream of over Christmas. Having said that, Ryder Cup seems a long way away, especially if I don't get in the NEC and U.S. PGA at end of the race. Having said that, I'm going to get plenty of chances in the summer and tomorrow is a great chance.

Q. Were you at The Belfry last time?

JOAKIM HAEGGMAN: I was in The Belfry helping. I was Torrance's assistant captain at The Belfry.

Q. It would mean more to be there again as a player?

JOAKIM HAEGGMAN: Absolutely. It's been a good 11 years since I've played. It would be great to get back. I played in the '93 team.
