HSBC WOMEN'S WORLD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP


July 19, 2007


Maria Hjorth


NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK

Q. Just talk about that marathon match. How was that for you, five extra holes?
MARIA HJORTH: Yeah, it was pretty long. I mean, we both played pretty solid. I thought I played really well all day, but none of us made anything. That's really what it came down to. You know, on the last, I got a pretty good break and for the ball to stay up and not go in the bunker, Catriona got in the bunker.
Overall it was a tough match. I was 3-up, pretty quick, and then just made a few 3-putts and she got a few back. It was a long day.

Q. Talk about you were behind a tree and she was dead center in the fairway and you scrambled and got a par on the board. Did that give you a bit of momentum?
MARIA HJORTH: Absolutely. Just getting the second shot through the trees, and I thought, well, if I can get it -- I was trying to get it in the bunker, and if I can get in the bunker and around that green, I probably can get up-and-down and hopefully make a par to go through.
So of course, that was an important thing. And the hole after, I pulled my tee shot a little bit and hit a tree and got a good break. But you've got to have good breaks every now and then.

Q. I know you might not want to think ahead, but to win this thing there's probably 90 more holes to play and you just played 22; does that tax on your mental side of the game a little bit?
MARIA HJORTH: No, it doesn't feel that way. As long as you keep on playing well, you know, keep yourself in it and keep your focus; you know, now I'm going to go back and rest and get some energy for tomorrow.
But, you know, I'll come out ready tomorrow again.
