BOB HOPE CHRYSLER CLASSIC


January 17, 1998


Stewart Cink


LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA

LEE PATTERSON: Maybe just a couple of thoughts about the day and heading into tomorrow for us. Then we will pass the microphone around for questions.

STEWART CINK: Well, I am playing on the more difficult course of the four, but I think I haven't taken a lot at the averages. But, I think this is probably the most difficult one. So I feel pretty good out here even though I am going to have to do amazing tomorrow to win (inaudible).

LEE PATTERSON: Okay.

Q. How easy is it to find birdies, especially on the last 18 holes when you are trying to win a championship?

STEWART CINK: I am sorry. I didn't hear that.

Q. How difficult is it to find birdies when you really know you need to get some when it is the last round?

STEWART CINK: How easy is it to get birdies?

Q. I didn't hear him. How difficult is it to get birdies knowing that you need them when it is the 18 last holes?

STEWART CINK: (inaudible) There is a little added pressure. You have to stay focused and remember that you have made enough birdies to get in that position, so (inaudible) can't force it.

LEE PATTERSON: Anybody else? Why don't you go over your birdies for us really quick.

STEWART CINK: I started on 10 and birdied the first par 5, No. 14. Hit a sand wedge in there; made about made about a 10-footer. Then I birdied 18. I hit a 4-wood -- 7 fairway, 4-wood (inaudible) came out of the sand to about (inaudible) feet.

LEE PATTERSON: Three feet?

STEWART CINK: Four feet.

LEE PATTERSON: Then on 4.

STEWART CINK: I hit a pitching wedge about two feet.

LEE PATTERSON: 6.

STEWART CINK: 6, I was in the green (inaudible); had about a 10-footer for birdie. (inaudible).

Q. Can you tell us about your off-season; how much you practiced and how much you played, how much you did other things, just a little synopsis of what you did?

STEWART CINK: Okay, my season started at the JC Penney. It was over about the 7th, 8th December and so I had a few weeks where I didn't play golf. Took a vacation with my wife (inaudible) we (inaudible) I didn't get ready for the first tournament until about five days before I left. For me it is good to get away from it for a while because it is a long year and you stay fresh.

LEE PATTERSON: Thank you,.
