Then first made cut.  (Laughter.)  I don't think about the other.  I just going to go have fun on the golf course.  Yeah, I mean, same.  It's going to be same.

Q.  What's the best part of your game?
ILHEE LEE:  I like my iron shot, like short iron.  I like iron shots.  This week my putting is really good, so...
