PAGENET CHAMPIONSHIP

November 11, 1999

Lorie Kane

LORIE KANE: Birdie on 2, 8-iron, six feet. 8-iron, four feet on 3. 6-iron on the par 3, 10 feet. Bogeyed 11. Hit 5-iron in the bunker and didn't get up-and-down.

LORIE KANE: About five feet. 15, a lovely wedge out of a divot in the lay-up area to 15 feet above it and made it. I hit 8-iron 10 feet just above the hole on the next one, and then that's it.

LORIE KANE: I was as nervous as I've ever been.

LORIE KANE: I don't know. I wanted to play well, and I was ready to go. I'm ready. Motivated to get on with the show. No, I was really nervous. In fact, I think that was good because I played really solid.

LORIE KANE: I know when I'm that nervous that I'm 100% on. Like, you know, you don't take anything to chance. You just -- I mean, my grip wasn't tight, which was good, but I was just wanting to play every shot as best as I could. And I hit it close the whole front nine, and kind of relaxed through the back nine and got lazy and missed a few greens, but got up-and-down .

LORIE KANE: I wouldn't say it was overconfident, but I just got back into that -- a little too relaxed, if there is such a thing.

LORIE KANE: I think it's a good thing to have the adrenaline.

LORIE KANE: A little bit further. That's why we hit 8-iron a lot of places. We had that 145 to the pin and I could easily hit a nice 7 (-iron), but I was going to the 8( -iron). Hit my driver well, too.

LORIE KANE: No, I think that I was motivated to come here and play better, because I played very good in Japan, but never made anything. You know, we got a good night's sleep on the way home. I think Japan, I've always played well over there, and I knew that as a stepping stone to come here. And I'd rather when you have a tournament this big, rather have played last week than not, than take two weeks off.
