RICOH WOMEN'S BRITISH OPEN


August 3, 2007


Michelle Wie West


ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND

Q. How long was your birdie putt on 18?
MICHELLE WIE: About a nine-foot putt.

Q. Thoughts on the day?
MICHELLE WIE: Obviously I'm really disappointed. I hit some great drives today. My driving was fantastic. I just couldn't convert with my irons and putting. It just all came down to that. I didn't perform today, but I have to take the positives from that. I hit my driver really awesome today.

Q. Did you have any birdie chances on the greens?
MICHELLE WIE: I left myself in really tough positions and got some really unfortunate breaks in the fairway. I must have been in at least eight divots, but no excuses. I didn't hit my irons well today at all. With the wind blowing the ball just went with the wind. So unfortunately it was very unfortunate there, but I felt like my driving was very solid today.

Q. Did it give you confidence to drive the ball well today?
MICHELLE WIE: Yeah, definitely. The whole year I've been struggling with my driver and I just never got in the fairway. Today I felt like my driver was really solid. Every time I stood up to it I felt really confident so that is definitely a positive. Obviously my irons weren't good so I just have to keep it together. It's like a puzzle. I'm just getting one bit at a time.

Q. How was your wrist today?
MICHELLE WIE: It was better. Obviously today it hurt on a couple of shots. Hitting out of divots is not the greatest, but it's better. It is definitely not hurting as much and that is definitely a positive.

Q. So you must be disappointed to miss the cut at an event like this that you have looked forward to for such a long time?
MICHELLE WIE: Yeah, it is a disappointment because I didn't play as well as I wanted to. But, you know, just playing two rounds here is an amazing feat because it's two more than I've ever played here. Obviously I really, really enjoyed being here. I'm really disappointed in how I played, but like I said, I'm really glad that my driver was really working for me today. I really feel like I got the feel of my driver and I'm just going to work on bouncing back.

Q. That was probably the weak link in the first round?
MICHELLE WIE: It was definitely. This whole year my driver was the reason why I've played so bad because I couldn't hit the darn fairway, but today I was really confident on every single drive. I just have to fit the puzzle together.

Q. Do you feel like you are gaining your strength back?
MICHELLE WIE: I do. I do feel a lot stronger. I'm hitting a lot of shots that I've never really hit before so that is a positive. I just need to take the positives and go on from there. I'm starting to feel really good about it, but obviously today was not my day, but I'll do better.
