DANA GROSS RHODE: Inbee Park, you are the 2008 US Women's Open champion, and now you kind of found yourself up at the top of the leaderboard for the Navistar LPGA Classic. How did today go? In it was a good day for you out there.
INBEE PARK: Yeah, it was. I been struggling with putting all this season, and finally this tournament I was putting well. So I was happy with that.

I was hitting the ball good and putting good, so I think that worked out.

DANA GROSS RHODE: What were some of the putts you had out there? Were the they close putts or just long putts that were going in?
INBEE PARK: There were some long putts that went in, and there was some short putts that went in. I would say about three putts that were over 30 footer. Yes, that was very good.

Q. What holes were the three long putts on?
INBEE PARK: Tough to remember actually. Two yesterday and one today. Let me think. Yesterday was number 11, and I don't know. (Laughter.)

DANA GROSS RHODE: Looking at the courses you've played in your career, how does this course play for you, the Senator course?
INBEE PARK: Well, they have big greens, so you really have to put the ball in the right tier and right positions. Fairways were really soft in the practice rounds, but yesterday and today it was running.

So course was playing shorter, and that really favored me. I think the course is pretty good, in very good condition.

Maybe the wind is gonna be the factor here, yeah.

Q. There had been a forecast of rain, and it never really came. Psychologically were you prepared to play in rain, and how does that affect you?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, I saw the forecast, and we were all ready for the rain. I mean, we had umbrellas and rain suits and towels and everything. So I was very happy. I'm lucky that we finish without the rain.

It was very good – it turned out to be very good weather. We're lucky to be here.

DANA GROSS RHODE: Was your caddie upset that the bag was so heavy and he carried it all day?
INBEE PARK: Well, I didn't carry it, but my caddie carried it. He was just saying that the bag was weighing tons.
