MODERATOR: We'd like to welcome Paula Creamer, who's the number 10 seed in the 2011 Sybase Match Play Championship. You'll take on Aree Song tomorrow. Paula, if you would, just talk about being here in match play. You weren't able to be here last year because of your injury. What's it like to be back?
PAULA CREAMER: It's nice to be back. They switched the nines, that was really the biggest difference that I noticed. The golf course is playing really long. It's a good thing kind of that you're playing your opponent; you don't really have to worry much about playing the actual golf course, you just have to beat the person that you're playing. But the greens are really good. For as much rain as we've had here, they're pretty quick. You know, they're soft, but like I said, you're just playing your opponent, you're not playing the course as much.
MODERATOR: If you would just talk a little bit about your first round match-up, what you're looking forward to.
PAULA CREAMER: Yeah, it's going to be a good match against Aree. I know she got her card in the fall so this is -- she had such a good junior amateur career and everybody remembers that putt that she made at Kraft that one year on 18 for eagle, but she's a really strong player. I know that I'm not going -- I'm going to have to go out there and play some good golf and not take anything for granted, see what happens. That's the greatest thing about match play, you never know, just me versus her.
Q. Two things. What about this being the place of your first LPGA win and how much that means, but also coming back here and playing in less than perfect conditions. I know you're playing one-on-one, but how does rain change the way you have to play and the heavy course and just the conditions in general?
PAULA CREAMER: Well, I won the Sybase but it was actually at Wykagyl, before it moved here. So obviously there's special ties with Sybase and now being part with SAP, which is one of my sponsors. I feel good to be here and know that I'm excited to play. I love match play, and the fact that the golf course is playing much different than what we played before, used to be -- when I played it last, it was I think more in the summer, so it was playing hard and firm and there was holes where we were hitting wedge into and now we're hitting 5-irons and 7-woods, so it's a completely different golf course. It's playing -- with the heavy air and the rain, it's just playing long and, you know, hopefully we don't get too much today. I think we've been lucky so far because it differently needs to dry out.
Q. How does it change the way you play the game, though, as far as having to deal with the soggy conditions, just heavier air, that kind of stuff?
PAULA CREAMER: It just -- you've got to add more club. Unfortunately, you have to pull some more head covers off than what the golf course is made to. Hopefully they move up some of the tees because of the setup. There's some holes where it just is not meant to be played that way, but it is match play so it's a different concept of the way you think and
