U.S. SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

July 29, 2004

John Aubrey

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI

Q. John, can you start us off with some comments about the shot on No. 3?

JOHN AUBREY: I started out real good. I birdied one and hit it fairly close on 2, and my caddie gave me some good yardage on No. 3. I hit a little 8-iron in there and it spun back and went into the hole. It's a good feeling for me in a major championship to have that. It makes my day.

Q. 3 under par after three holes in your first Senior Open. Any comments?

JOHN AUBREY: I didn't drive it it real good in the practice rounds. I hit a lot of 3-woods today. I'm not that long. I hit a lot of fairways, and on 15 I made a great 4 there. I think I missed only one fairway all day.

Q. Back to the ace, how far past the hole did it hit and spin back?

JOHN AUBREY: I fixed the ball mark maybe about a foot and a half from it. It must have bounced forward and spun back in.

Q. That was your third; is that correct?

JOHN AUBREY: That was my 3rd hole.

Q. The third ace?

JOHN AUBREY: No, that was my second ace in my life.

Q. (Inaudible).

JOHN AUBREY: In our Tri-State section in Pennsylvania, I had one in a tournament there. It was about a 220-yard par 3.

Q. When was that?

JOHN AUBREY: It was at Quicksilver in the Pittsburgh area, oh, maybe four or five years ago, but I really enjoyed it. The course is really great. It's a fun golf course to play. It's not very much fun if you hit it off the fairway.

Q. Is your putter working well for you?

JOHN AUBREY: Yeah, I made a couple great putts.

I made a great up-and-down on 18. I couldn't feel the wind on 18. I was in between clubs there. I fired it at the pin, and I made a heck of a good 4 there.

Q. And obviously you're one of the first groups off the course here but you're 2 under. How do you feel about that?

JOHN AUBREY: For a little club pro, I come from a little town called Butler north of Pittsburgh. I own my own golf course there.

It's a real honor to play against these great players and shoot under par on a great golf course.

Q. (Inaudible).

JOHN AUBREY: Yeah, I have, I have, a couple in Florida, yeah.

Q. Do you generally play well on difficult golf courses?

JOHN AUBREY: You know, I'm a pretty good chipper and putter and I don't really spray the ball that much. If you can hit fairways and make some good power putts I think you'll do fine. Tomorrow I might just shoot 80, but you never know. I hope not, but golf is a funny game.

Q. Thanks very much.

JOHN AUBREY: Thank you guys.
