WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

February 25, 2004

Kenny Perry

KENNY PERRY: Got off to a good start, won the first four holes. He was having trouble bending over his ball and it was kind of cool this morning, and he hit a couple drives in the rough and made a couple bogeys and I made a couple birdies and a couple pars, and the next thing I know I'm 4 up. I was able to just kind of maintain that all the rest of the match.

I got to 5 up a couple times and he won a couple holes, so I was pretty much trying to match him out there. Then I holed it on 10, a 4-iron on the 14th hole to win 6-4.

Q. Overall, it sounded like you played fairly well.

KENNY PERRY: I did. I only missed one fairway and I hit a lot of greens and I putted well. I made a lot of birdies.

Q. Talk about your game so far this year.

KENNY PERRY: I had three weeks off, a much needed rest. My neck wasn't bothering me like it hurt me really bad on Sunday at the Hogan in Phoenix, so I feel okay again. I was happy with the way I hit it. I hit it hard, hit it solid, hit it long. All this rain moving in here, I don't know how it's going to affect everybody, but I was really pleased with how I played today.
