HSBC WOMEN'S WORLD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP


July 22, 2007


Maria Hjorth


NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK

Q. Talk about playing this afternoon.
MARIA HJORTH: What can you do, I shot 3- or 4-under this afternoon. That's match play for you.

Q. Took you a while to get going early on?
MARIA HJORTH: No, I feel pretty good already from the start. It wasn't too bad at all. She is a very solid player and she doesn't make many mistakes, so you just have to keep on grinding and I did, but it wasn't enough.

Q. This isn't a situation where you see too much, playing without a chance to hold up a trophy; is it hard to get yourself back in there after the morning round?
MARIA HJORTH: No, I don't think so. You're still playing for third or fourth. Of course, it's always nice to walk away with a win rather than a loss, but you're still out there fighting.

Q. Is that what you rely on, your competitive spirit just to push you through the round?
MARIA HJORTH: Absolutely.

Q. Did your caddie give you a pep talk going out there?
MARIA HJORTH: Of course. We're both going out there to win it and, you know, you just have to kick it into gear. I tried, but she had a lot of birdies.

Q. On 17, to short-side yourself like that, and to almost hole it out, is that indicative of the way you're playing, the save and recovery shots?
MARIA HJORTH: I think a bit. But I actually have been very unlucky with a lot of lies this week. Even here on 18, instead of being flat in the bunker, you're up against the back with a downhill lie when you have to hit a high bunker shot and it's almost impossible. I've had a lot of those lies this week, which has been one of them weeks. I guess you get some bad breaks every now and then, and that's what happens.
Overall, I'm very happy with the way I've been playing.
