DANA GROSS RHODE: We have Se Ri Pak here. Youre having a great season so far. You have to be happy with it. Talk about coming to Canada and golfing in Canada now.
SE RI PAK: I really do. Im very happy about my game. Im not expecting anything more right now. Im already glad to be here. Like I said, its always exciting to be every week in different golf events. But especially Canada, the last couple of years, its good when I play good and be back and its really exciting.
Q. How are you feeling today?
SE RI PAK: Well, so far right now, its okay. Yesterday I practiced and not too much bothers it. But I wake up first thing in the morning and my arm bothers me again. Im still going to play this week, and hopefully Ill have a good week. I dont think its getting worse, which is a good thing. I dont want to really give up this week and not play, so Im here ready and I feel ready to go. Hopefully Ill have a good week.
Q. I want to ask you about the Order of Merit Award you received from the government of the South Korea. Talk about that and what a big honor that was. In 1998 you won that. I was wondering how many theyve handed it out and how common it is for an athlete to get that award.
SE RI PAK: Its a very special award from the president of my country. That is mostly how do I explain? Well, its pretty hard to explain. But for me its for the rest of my life or even for my family, my kids, whatever. Im pretty proud of it, myself and my family and my country. They gave me a great award from the president that you get for all your life. Its unbelievable that happened to me. That was how many years ago?
Q. 98.
SE RI PAK: I didnt think I got one lately. It was very special to get an award from the president and I was very proud for my country too. That was great.
Q. Talk about your impressions of the course and do you like this style of course, the older courses?
SE RI PAK: I do like a lot of old style golf courses. It is different from the U.S., but I like the way the golf course sets up, too. A lot of trees, I know its not easy. The golf course is very tricky, too. You hit it long. Its pretty long, but I like the golf course. I dont have any complaining. I dont really have a problem. So hopefully Ill play well.
Q. Big greens too?
SE RI PAK: Yes. That makes it harder. It is the biggest greens. Sometimes you miss the wrong side of the green and basically you can almost chip it. But I like it, its fun.
Q. These the biggest greens youve ever seen?
SE RI PAK: I think so. Like No. 10, the par 5, if you miss the green or the wrong side of it, its like 100 feet away. We can chip around the green, but its not on the green. Its going to be a challenge. The greens are pretty tricky, a lot of undulations. The speed is really good. Its really fast.
Q. Is it an obstacle, on some of the holes youre almost playing a blind shot to the green and they are such huge greens and you dont have Sky Caddie or Lazer Link to help you. So you really dont know the exact yardage to the pin, do you?
SE RI PAK: Its not really easy to play that shot, but basically our caddies go out there, the regimen for the distance and how many yards is uphill, downhill. Theyre working the last couple of days, so it helps a lot.
Q. You really have to trust your caddie and the yardage?
SE RI PAK: Definitely.
Q. Could you explain what the injury was at the (Weetabix Womens) British Open?
SE RI PAK: Basically at the British Open, it was my neck. The muscle is getting tight and it comes down to my arms, but I dont think just from that. But a little while ago, starting the last couple of weeks, but basically last week it was my neck. Its bothersome, but I dont worry too much about it.
Q. Did it start before Evian (Masters) or after Evian?
SE RI PAK: No, a couple of weeks ago. I dont really know when. It just comes and goes sometimes. I dont really take it seriously. Last week it felt really hard, like a rock there. Maybe thats why I feel it a lot more than a couple of weeks ago. Maybe just for the last week, its too hard. This week, Im not trying to think about it too much.
Q. A quick comment about your season, if we could. Fairly consistent and then the great finish at McDonalds (LPGA Championship) had to be a huge boost for your confidence.
SE RI PAK: I feel a lot of confidence already in myself. My game is getting better every week. I have really enjoyed it out there. Whether I play good or bad, it doesnt matter, but it makes me comfortable out there on the golf course and just being a really happy person that Ive never been.
Then I won at McDonalds and getting a lot better and better. That can happen any time, anywhere. Suddenly I was in the last two years just being I dont know what happened. I cant remember anything about it. Then I dont want to play golf at all, for the first time ever in my life. I just dont know why. I just cant focus. I dont want to be out there.
But this year, 2006, is different. I like to be out here and for the most part its a lot of fun. I like to see the players. I have a lot of friends out here. Its just different. Its kind of strange what happened to me in the last few years, but now its perfect. Every week I try my best and its always exciting.
Q. Do you feel proud of your role, when you look and see 20, 25, 30 Koreans on Tour?
SE RI PAK: It does. The first time I feel like I have a lot of pressure because basically Im the one started and then so many number of Koreans are here and play so well. And I thought, ‘Well, I should do better, so Ive been pushing myself a lot for the first couple of years. But I look back and Im really proud of it. Im proud for them. Im proud for myself.
Its a lot more fun to see that, because most of them I know them for a long time. We played together as amateurs and as good friends together. Its good to see it.
Q. Taking a look at the course, do you have any idea, is it going to be -8, -7? Do you have any idea what this is going to play to over the week?
SE RI PAK: Not too low, but probably 10 to 12 at the most, I guess. The golf course is so great and the rough is thick and long. The greens are really a great speed. Who knows, maybe even par, maybe 15 under par. Who knows?
아침에 일어났을 때 팔이 다시 아팠지만 경기는 할 것이다..
코스가 나무도 많고 까다롭지만 좋다..그린이 엄청 크다..
10번(파5)홀에서 홀과 가장 먼 곳은 30m는 될 거다..
그린이 안보이고 정확한 거리도 모르고 샷을 해야 한다면?
캐디가 거리를 쟀을 거도 믿을 수 밖에.
브리티시에서 부상은? 목의 근육이 뭉쳤고 팔까지 내려왔다.
언제부터인지는 모르지만 몇주전부터 가끔씩 아팠다. 지난주에 심했던 거고.
우승스코아는 10~12언더파쯤..

| imalmighty | 펜님 ........... 정말 재밌어요. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
98년도에 훈장받은것에 대한 새삼스러운 질문도 있군요... 전 몰랐으니까 오히려 이런질문이 좋지만요... ㅎ
캐나다 코스는 미국과 또 많이 다른가보군요... 옛날스타일의 코스가 마음에 든다니 다행이구요.
또 빠지지 않는 한국골퍼에게 미친 영향... 음... 좋아요... 사실이니까. ㅎㅎㅎ
좋은결과 나왔으면 좋겠습니다. 아자아자... ^^ |
