Katherine Hull

Your score today normally may have won it, but not good enough today?

Hull:            Yes, It probably would’ve been enough, but, ar, Karrie just played absolutely flawless golf and, yeah, you can never rule out a hall of fame player can you.

What was the (her match play) (Inaudible)?

Hull:            It was just rock solid, she was swinging it well all day and obviously rolling them from everywhere, so, I actually, I felt pretty good out there, I felt like I could give it a good crack and then I just couldn’t make a putt coming in, so that’s just they way golf goes, but, yeah, it was just an absolute clinic on Karrie’s part.

When she rolled the putt on 14^th and you walked off the green, just smiling, laughing, shaking your head, and saying what more could I do?

Hull:            She actually just told me, signing the score card, that she said she was eight under through twelve and she only had a two shot lead and she’s thinking to herself holy moly what have I got do! So, um, it was nice that I challenged her there for a bit, but, she just came home guns blazing and deserved to win, she played great.

Katherine, do you think you did everything you possibly could out there?

Hull:            Ar, no, I had two bogeys which was kind of disappointing, then I had a couple of birdie putts that didn’t drop, so um, certainly left some shots out there and that’s golf, I did my best, yeah, today it just wasn’t good enough.

What about the eagle that Karrie hit on seven? It was a remarkable effort for you to come back, to close.

Hull:            Well, I mean, there’s 72 holes in a golf tournament, so at that point we still had…10..11 to go, um, and lots can happening, I mean you can have two shot swings in one hole, I mean, Karrie did it that exact hole, so um, I mean I knew she was going to be in good form, she played yesterday and she got off to a good start today, but you know, I was hitting it well as well, it’s just a matter of being patient, yeah, you can never rule anything out in this game.

Can you take anything out of that Katherine, I mean, it was 26 under, one of the great four round tables, it’s not like you didn’t put up a fight,  did you take anything out of it, playing Karrie in that regard?

Hull:            Um, yeah, I mean, it’s just, she obviously had a game plan she just executed perfectly and you have those weeks, this was her week, um, yeah, I mean, I think I’m capable of better than 20 under but, yeah, I guess, I don’t think really necessarily learnt anything from Karrie, but I certinaly learnt a bit more about my game and what I have to do to get there, I think I’m capable of doing it, it’s just a matter time.

Can we expect another slugging match next week?

Hull:            I hope so. Yes. Yeah. I mean, you’re both in good form and, it’d be great for golf.

Katherine, you seemed distracted at one stage on the tee shot, what happened there?

Hull:            Oh, yeah, nine tee box. My caddy had asked for no cameras and no phones and I heard one on my back swing, or at the start of my downswing, I mean, I hit the shot all right but it’s just frustrating when people don’t listen.

Katherine, that was career equal best for Karrie, do you think that two, three, four years ago that you would have been emotionally strong enough to come up on the final day against a player who’s playing that well and match it with them?

Hull:            Me? Three or four years ago. Probably I’m kind of pig headed. I mean, I love competition, um, if it’s a game of monopoly I’m in there to win, I’m not in there for second place, so, I’ve been that way every since I was young enough to walk. Whether I would have…I don’t know…It’s hard to say…I mean…yeah…I think I would have loved the challenge of it and kind of risen to it, it’s part of being a competitor I guess.

Your ruthless, you bankrupt people do you?

Hull:            no, no…I’m nice at the same time but I’m a competitor.

With your swing changes, did you find it hard to trust it on occasion? Especially coming home?

Hull:            Not really today, um, there’s a couple shot, swings I didn’t trust on Friday, but I think I was…I did much better mentally just going through my process, and that was what made me trust my golf swing even though it’s, you know, still a work in progress.
