Interview with Gil Morgan

May 29, 2004

Q. Tell us about your round since I last talked to you.

GIL MORGAN: Well, it wasn’t too spectacular. I didn’t play nearly as well, obviously. I did make one birdie and no bogeys on the front. And then I got to hit my drive at 10. So that’s where I am right now for the restart in the morning. I don’t know, I just probably am a little tired, I would think. My shot making wasn’t not nearly as good as it was early in the day. So that’s about it in a nutshell.

Q. Well, you’re in second place, that’s a good place to be.

GIL MORGAN: Well, it’s not too bad. I’ve been worse. That’s for sure.

Q. Talk about the layoff and probably you wanted to keep playing all night the way you were playing.

GIL MORGAN: I didn’t get much sleep last night for one thing. And then having to sit around all day, I think that tired us out a little bit. And then it’s, hard walking when it’s soft like that. So it’s a little harder and my heel’s bothering me a little bit, so I was kind of tippy-toeing out there.

Q. Talk about not only playing 8 and a half tomorrow but perhaps even starting that third round.

GIL MORGAN: Well, I don’t think it will be much different than today. It’s just the situation that you just do whatever they call for in that regard. But hopefully I’ll be a little fresher and I might not have to play as many holes, you never know.

Q. Do you like where you stand right now?

GIL MORGAN: Well, right now I can’t be too disappointed with where my positioning is though, you know, it’s not stellar, compared to the rest, but, hey, I’m pretty satisfied with it at this point
