WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

February 22, 2006

Luke Donald

CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA

Q. Close game, obviously?

LUKE DONALD: Yeah, it was a close game. I think we have somewhat similar games. But I never got down in the match, which was key. I think Richard hung in there pretty well. He got a lot of good up and downs. He holed a lot of good putts. It was a tough match.

He made a great birdie on 14 and I followed him in. And then on 16 was really the turning point. We were all square and I hit it too far, a little long and to the right on the green. I holed about a 45 footer, and he had about 20 feet and missed.

And then 17 I drove it in the right rough. We both hit it in the greenside bunkers. I lipped out my putt from maybe 15 feet. He had a six footer to halve the match and three putted.

Q. Anything in particular good today for you?

LUKE DONALD: I just played steady. I know I'm going to have to play a little bit better, I think, to keep progressing, but the game feels close. Feels like it's really close.

Q. And everybody playing here has been playing well recently. I bet you thought it would be a tough time when you saw the draw?

LUKE DONALD: Yeah, he's batting like a lot of straight drivers. But we both played okay. I wouldn't say we both played great. We were steady, nothing too great. But I was glad to come out with a win.

Q. Who have you got next?

LUKE DONALD: Shigeki.

Q. Have you played him before?

LUKE DONALD: A few times. Not in match play, one on one. He seems like a solid player. He's a streaky player. He can get on good streaks. Hopefully I can get up early and keep him down.
