Quick Quotes:

Stewart Cink

Q: Welcome, some thoughts of what you have seen

Cink: “I got to play six entire holes. I don’t think you could say I played those holes, because the weather was absolutely atrocious, but it seems like a nice course, a good course for wind because it’s not that long. There are holes that will play very difficult in the wind, it looks to be a course that is in great shape.

Q: What did you think of the 16th?

Cink: “It was one of the holes I played, it’s a fabulous hole, it was striking. It’s a great hole, a tough hole too, a 230-yard shot, the wind today was just howling off the ocean, there’s almost no way to keep it on the green, so I hit it way right. But tomorrow it’ll be right to left, but it’s a beautiful setting, the water colour is just stunning, astonishing, it’s just beautiful.

Q: What about the Y.E. Yang picture you posted on Twitter this morning?

Cink: “I thought this was just an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up. When you only have four in the field, and one of them takes a nap, and there is a fold-out bed in the locker room, that’s pretty impressive. And he slept with all the commotion going on as well. When the rain would come we would all rush back into the locker room, and there would be lots of noise, and he never moved. It was pretty impressive, but he had a long night. I was intentionally vague about it being a long night, most people will think that he was partying.”Y.E. Yang

Q: Welcome to Bermuda. Tell us about your journey and how you’re feeling right now.

Yang: “First of all I’m very happy and honored to be here. When I first started out this season I never imagined I would be here in Bermuda for the Grand Slam, it’s a great feeling.”Q: Tell us about your trip to Bermuda over the last 24 hours.

Yang: “We started off at South Korea at 8am Bermuda time yesterday, which is 8pm local time. It was about a 16 hour flight to JFK, uneventful, we landed at 9pm New York time, when to get on to a charter plane.

“We went on it and we left at about 11pm, and we were just escaping US airspace when the flight attendant informed us that the landing gear wouldn’t retract. So we loitered the Long Island area for a bit, landing an hour later at Islip, and then we were stranded there for about four hours while they were trying to get an alternate plane and crew ready.

“So were supposed to land in Bermuda around 1.30am (12.30 Eastern), and ended up landing about 6.30ish. Immigration took a little longer than usual, sp we checked into the hotel around 7.40am, I signed some flags, and we came out to the course.

“I played a Sunday final round (in Korea) so I have been up for around 48 hours now.”Q: Any big plans for tonight (laughter)?

Yang: “One of my sponsors was kind enough to offer me three years worth of complimentary first class tickets, and it’s been a tiring two months, so usual I sleep about six to seven hours at home, I never sleep that much anyway. In this case I slept for ten hours on the plane, and so I don’t think I’m that tired.

“And also the PGA staff over here and the staff at Port Royal were kind enough to set up a bed in the looker room, I got a quick nap for about two hours, and thankfully the weather co-operated in that aspect, so I can’t really complain about the weather either.

“I don’t really feel that tired, so I think with a little bit more sleep tonight I’ll be as good as knew tomorrow.”Q: Twitter picture?

Yang: “He hadn’t seen it. Lots of laughter. Thank you Cink. It’s like a $30 Roach Motel.”Q: Not seen much of the course, impressions?

“The weather isn’t the a-typical Bermuda weather I presume, it wasn’t the optimal situation for me to check out the course, but my caddy is doing the back nine, I did play the front nine, and it’s very nice, and with good weather it will probably be great.

“For everyone else, apart from Angel, it’s the first time playing over here, so we are all starting from the same starting line, with a little bit of luck, better weather, and some co-ordination with my caddy, I think I will play well.”Angel Cabrera

Q: Welcome back to Bermuda Angel, can we just have some thoughts on being back in

Bermuda.

Cabrera: “I have great memories from Bermuda and very happy to be back where I won in 2007.”Q: Some thoughts about the golf course, as much as you have seen, it’s a different golf course to the one you won on in 07.

“I wasn’t able to see much, I was only able to play six holes, but it seems like a very good course, and it seems also like it is going to be a big challenge out there tomorrow for the four of us.”Q: Will you drive around the rest of the course to see what you missed?

Cabrera: “We’ll see. If the weather allows it we’ll probably do that, but if not maybe we’ll come early tomorrow and do that tomorrow.

Q: First impressions of the course, how it’s set up, how he thinks it is going to play?

Cabrera: “With this kind of rain it is difficult to say much, but you can tell that the course has been set up very well, and the greens, the ball is running very well, so it is going to be a big test.

Q: It’s a different week this week, a reward for winning the Masters, does that change your approach to the event?

Cabrera: “No, no, it’s not any different, I’m here because I want to win, otherwise I would stay back home.

Q: What challenges do you anticipate facing tomorrow?

Cabrera: “First of all from myself, afterwards then the course, because I don’t know the course very much, and then the players. The players I know them and I guess that all of us have the same chances.”Q: Biggest hurdle would be your own game?

Cabrera: “Yes”Q: Whenever you compete you want to win, but is there an element of being able to enjoy this slightly more?

Cabrera: “Yes, yes, maybe a little bit, but in the end when I put the ball on the first tee it’s all about winning, and that’s where you really care. And If I have a good round, then you are happy, and if not, then you’re not so happy.

Q: Anything you like to do when it’s raining like this?

Cabrera: “Maybe just watch some sports on TV, but you’re not used to this kind of weather where I live, in Argentina.”Q: A whole different week then?

Cabrera: “Yes, yes, it is.”Q: How would a win here compare to winning at Augusta?

Cabrera: “You never compare victories, or triumphs, by any means, all victories are different, all are special, and I wouldn’t like to compare any of them.

Lucas Glover

Q: Making his first trip ever to the Grand Slam of golf, Lucas, welcome and your thoughts on coming to Bermuda and your experience of the golf course.

Glover: “It’s my first time here, obviously it’s a beautiful country. I’ve got a close friend here and he’s been trying to get me to come but, er, it never worked out, so I’m happy to be here under these circumstances.

“It was tough out there obviously, I think that’s the worst conditions I’ve ever played golf in. But it was fun, I got to play with three nice groups, saw a little bit of the golf course.

“I checked out 16, I finished on 15 and was too scared to tell you the truth, (to play 16). But all in all it was a good day.

Q: Impressions of course from little you were able to see.

Glover: “It was good, obviously the winds going to play the biggest part, rain or not. The greens are still very firm, but the wind will be the big issue, it’ll be tough and it’ll be a good test, regardless. If it was dead calm it would be a good test because the course is so good, but the wind is going to be the main defense, it’ll be fun, but a good test at the same time”Q: Not as long as some of the normal tour courses, will the wind even that up a lot.

Glover: “I don’t think it matters, about the wind, about the length, I think you have short holes that play long, and long holes that play short, so I think it will even up.

“But if the holes play into the wind like they did today, then a 380-hole is a 480 hole, and if you have a little 330-hole at 14, I hit a nice drive and still had a 120 yard second, that’s a 215 yard tee-shot.

“It’ll even out, and if we get a lot of cross winds that’ll make it even more difficult, so we’ll just go out tomorrow and see what happens.”Q: 16?

Glover: “I think you have to play right, I think you have to try and hit in that bunker over there, and if you don’t then you’re playing for four. We are four pretty good players and it’s hard to hit a ball 30-yards out into the ocean, and think that it’s going to come back, and believe it is going to come back.

“But you have to take what it gives us.

Q: Drive around and see the rest of the course?

Glover: “I don’t think so, there is probably a good chance that I’ll get even wetter, I think I’ll just go with the yardage book.

Q: How important would a win in Bermuda be to boost that confidence?

Glover: “Any time you win, any time you win anything, it helps your confidence. But here, with a great golf course, in tough conditions, it’ll be a lot of fun, and it’s going to be tough, against three of the best golfers in the world all playing good golf, to win would be a treat.

Q: How many books did you bring with you?

Glover: Two, four day trip, two, should be all right. I brought the new James Patterson, Alex Carlsons Trials, and Clive Cussler’s got a new one, Spartan gold, so that’ll be for the journey home.
