JOHNNIE WALKER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP


December 16, 1993


Nick Faldo


MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA

Q. General comments on the round?

NICK FALDO: I don't know. Well, didn't play too bad. Hit a couple of bad ones and, you know, not bad, not great, you know.

Q. What about the putting, Nick, the reverse grip?

NICK FALDO: We have been talking about that. He was videoing me and we like the idea of a reverse grip; it gives me a bit more lag in everything. It does a lot of good things for my stroke, but, you know, I thought I might go with it whenever I felt comfortable, but I never really felt comfortable, so, I didn't, simple as that.

Q. Didn't persist, but how many sort of greens did you --

NICK FALDO: About 3, first 3 holes.

Q. What are the good things it does for you?

NICK FALDO: Gets my shoulders level, as I said, gives my right hand-- gets a bit of lag to it, which-- it is not wooden, and it makes you follow through aggressive because you have got something to stop. You are hitting the against the left arm; you can hit through. I think it is something to work on. It is good to give, you know, the right feelings for a regular stroke.

Q. Is there an element of what people might be thinking in seeing the world's No. 1 putting that way about it; you are not concerned about that?

NICK FALDO: No. No. Because I think it is actually a pretty good way to putt. A lot of guys are using it; putting couple of Strange and Fred Couples have changed and they have done all right last couple of years.

Q. No shorts situation,; some were saying they wanted to wear shorts because it is too hot. What do you think?

NICK FALDO: I don't know. I think if they made some guidelines, it could be done. I think if we -- I think we got quite smart if we were in-- if they told us we could wear two colors or there had to be solid color and socks to match or whatever, I am sure they can come up with something which would be quite acceptable, you know.

Q. Would you prefer to wear shorts?

NICK FALDO: I think I will be too sexy; I will have too much trouble. I am too sexy in my shorts, so --

Q. Thank you.
