JIM SOBB
AN INTERVIEW WITH:
GIL MORGAN
Q. Talk about your two days so far.
GIL MORGAN: I played pretty well today.
I kept it in play most of the time. I had a couple of
foul balls, but I was able to get those up-and-down.
Last hole I just kind of was trying to do a little bit
too much with it, I think and mishit it a little bit, and
so I ended up with a bogey on the last hole, which
is a little disheartening, but at the same time I was
glad to get this round in today and I was very
pleased with it overall.
Q. Was it easier to play in the morning
in terms of yesterday's flip-flop and were the
conditions a little bit better this morning?
GIL MORGAN: Conditions were good, not
much wind early, a little bit of wind coming down
the last few holes, but it played a little bit long,
quite a bit longer because of the temperature and
everything in the morning. Some of the holes
played a club or two longer than what we played
yesterday afternoon.
But at the same time the greens are
probably a little smoother, a little softer. Overall.
So I just need to keep it going.
AN INTERVIEW WITH:
JIM LOGUE
Q. Well, it was strange. Yesterday on
the front nine you were even, today it was your
killer. And yesterday the back nine killed you
and today you tore it up.
JIM LOGUE: It was just one of those
things, you're going to play good, you're going to
play bad, but the key thing is driving the ball in the
fairway.
And I was playing, I played pretty well
today, I 3-putted the 13th hole and I made 7 on the
second or the 8th hole. And other than that I
played okay. You hit the ball in the rough, you're
just done. I mean, if you hit it in the rough, you
couldn't move it. It goes right to the bottom.
Q. You played a lot of difficult courses
in your life and how would you rate this as far
as difficulty?
JIM LOGUE: Well this, is very fair. I don't
think this is brutal like you heard about at Winged
Foot, the massacre at Winged Foot or any of those
things, but it's very fair, but it's just if you don't hit
the shot you're trying to hit -- like on my 35th hole,
it was the old second hole, which we're playing as
eight, I hit the best tee shot, I just stood there
posing and the ball rolls one foot in the rough and I
got no swing, I can't move it a hundred yards.
Q. Oh, man, that's brutal.
JIM LOGUE: Yeah, it's just -- it's just part
of golf.
Q. You learn to accept it, I guess at this
point.

JIM LOGUE: At my age you just plan on it.
You know you're not going to beat anybody any
more, so.
Q.
Well, but you remain a good
competitor.
JIM LOGUE: Yeah, I've had some fun,
yeah. I had a real good winter and just didn't play
very well this week.
Q. Are you going to play in the Ohio
Open?
JIM LOGUE: I don't know yet.
sure. I think I plan to, but I'm not positive.

AN INTERVIEW WITH:
JOE OZAKI
Q. You really got it going today on the
back nine. Talk about what maybe got you, got
the round jump started after shooting even par
on the front?
JOE OZAKI: Putting.
being able to qualify for this is, no question, it gets
me pretty pumped.
Q. Over those 12 years do you have a
favorite course that sticks out or a favorite
tournament?
ROY VUCINICH: No, probably where I
finished my best, at Firestone, where I finished
fourth in the tournament. So that obviously is my
best finish in the tournament in the Senior PGA
Championship.
But I enjoyed Ridgewood as well, but
Firestone is probably No. 1.
Q. Do you have any plans coming up
here for?
ROY VUCINICH: Try to qualify for the U.
S. Senior Open. I will play local tournaments in
Pittsburgh and then just keep practicing and
working at it.

AN INTERVIEW WITH:
GREG NORMAN
Q. Do you feel like you just have a
better feel for the course today or was there
anything like that?
JOE OZAKI: I felt playing in the morning
today was an advantage.
Q. Can I get a couple quick thoughts?
You didn't have any bogeys through 15. What
was your feeling for your first part of the
round?
GREG NORMAN: Good.
Q. You're probably inside the cut line
now, what's your mindset heading into
Saturday?
JOE OZAKI: Play good.

Q. What happened on 16 there?
GREG NORMAN: I just pulled a sand
wedge a little thin and went back down unplayable.
AN INTERVIEW WITH:
ROY VUCINICH
Q. Now this was 12th straight Senior
PGA Championship. What do you feel about
that is? What does that mean to you?
ROY VUCINICH: That means that I'm
playing fairly consistent golf over the years and
Q. What's your mindset now heading
into the weekend?
GREG NORMAN: I don't know if I'm going
to make the cut, so I have to wait and see.

Q. Talk really briefly, this was your first
time in this event, what it meant to you and
what the experience was like.
JIM SOBB: Well, it's very fun to play in a
Major Championship and represent my club and
my section. It's an honor.
Q. I think you're 9-over now.
JIM SOBB: Yeah.
Q. What's the mindset now? Not
knowing what the cut's going to be.
JIM SOBB: You figure it's going to be six
or seven. That's the figure, you know. Basically
that's the score. The conditions were pretty benign
today, so it will be six or seven.
Q. Do you felt like you maybe played a
little better today, just didn't score the ball or
what?
JIM SOBB: I got off to a bad start,
bogeyed the first three holes and played the last
15 holes 1-over.
So I played okay there. But just didn't get
enough looks at birdies. The pins are hard to get
at and I missed a few fairways and that will cost
you a bogey or two, so.
