WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

February 27, 2004

Chris DiMarco

Q. Talk about that match, winning again.

CHRIS DiMARCO: It was a fun match. Neither one of us -- we both hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens. I know my stats didn't show I hit a lot of greens, but I hit a lot of fringes and putted from the fringe a lot, and he made a great up-and-down on 16, made about an 18-footer to stay 1 up.

And then on 18, I'm 211 straight into the wind, 5-wood -- I hit a 3-wood and I hit a great shot in there about 10, 12 feet, and I think that made him kind of -- then he tried to -- instead of trying to lag it up there he thought I had a good chance of making it so he thought he needed to -- he knocked it by and I was very fortunate to win 18, and then I drove it perfect on 1 and then he missed the fairway and then it was pretty much game over. I hit a good 8-iron in there about 12 feet, lagged her up there and walked off.

Q. You play Mickelson, who won pretty easily, didn't play a lot of holes.

CHRIS DiMARCO: Good.

Q. You went 19 holes.

CHRIS DiMARCO: It's going to be fun. Phil is a good friend of mine and it's going to be fun regardless.
