  • Karrie Webb Into the Interview Room
    INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: PAULA CREAMER Thursday, May 19, 2011 MODERATOR: All right. We would like to welcome Karrie Webb into the interview room. Congratulations on your 3 & 2 win. Can you just give us your initial thoughts on your match and how things went out there today? KARRIE WEBB: Well, I was very disappointed that I actually picked Sarah on Tuesday. You know, I've known Sarah for quite a few years now and, you know, watched her progress with her career and she's been playing quite nicely, but she is so -- I didn't like the fact that I had to play her in the first round. Would have been better to meet her somewhere further down the track, I guess, but I was concerned how I would feel being out there. I mean, if it's someone that you're not necessarily friends with, you don't worry if you're making birdies or stuff like that and I worried if that would concern me. But I played really nicely. We had a really good match actually. I was at 5-under and Sarah's at 2-under, so we both played really well. I hit my irons really well. I think I had six birdies, but four of them were quite, you know -- she gave me a couple, I didn't even have to putt. The one I played on the last was about three feet, so I hit the ball really quite nicely. Q. How did your relationship that Paula was talking about start? Did you as a veteran player see her and say, gee, this is a woman who has promise, I'm going to help her out, or how did that work out? KARRIE WEBB: Actually, the first time I ever played with Paula was here in her rookie year, played against her.
