I dessa tävlingstider fylls nätet av snack från presskonferenser. Från stora tävlingar finns det en fantastisk servcie från ett företag som heter ASAP Sports som levererar komplette utskrifter från pressisarna och det är alltid ett värdefullt stöd i efterhand.
På så sätt dokumenteras ju också en hel del goa klassiker.
Den här har Juristen surfat fram (fråga inte varför, jag vet inte) och den behandlar Helen Alfredssons rekordrond från US Women’s Open 1994.
Här ställs hennes tålamod på sin spets när hon uppmanas dra en liten resumé över sina samtliga 63 slag under ronden. Tror ni Tiger hade köpt den?
LES UNGER: After shooting the lowest round ever by a
woman in a U.S. Open and also a course record here, we would like to ask Helen
if she would please review this round. Do we need every shot?
Q. Every shot.
HELEN ALFREDSSON: Birdies. Birdies.
LES UNGER: You are outvoted.
Q. Birdies and saves.
HELEN ALFREDSSON: Much chance I have to outvote all these guys.
Q. You don’t have many shots anyhow.
HELEN ALFREDSSON: Let us take the birdies, no?
LES UNGER: You broke a record. They need it because of the record.
HELEN ALFREDSSON: I don’t remember. Do you need drives too?
Q. Yes.
HELEN ALFREDSSON: Never mind. Okay. Drive right-hand side on the first hole.
Second shot — is that how you want me to say it? I am not going to make my tee
time tomorrow sitting here.
LES UNGER: They are not going to make their deadlines tonight.
HELEN ALFREDSSON: My drive on the first hole, little to the right of the
rough, hit a 5-wood up by about 50 yards from the pin. I knocked it in about a
foot, tapped it in for birdie. I hit a 3-wood on the second hole. I had a small
5-iron to about six feet; tapped it in for birdie. Putted it in for birdie.
Third hole, I had a 7-iron on the left side and was a long putt. It was
probably about 12 yards, which is about 24 feet, 2-putted.
Q. 36 feet, 12 yards?
HELEN ALFREDSSON: Whatever, you do the count.
Q. 12 yards, okay?
HELEN ALFREDSSON: Oh, yeah, 30, whatever. Sorry. Fourth hole I hit a drive;
7-iron to about 10 yards which is 30 feet, 2-putted. On 5 I hit a 5-iron on the
left side to about 18 feet; made it for birdie. On 6 I hit my driver on the
right-hand side. I hit a 6-iron short of the pin, chipped it in with a sand
wedge to about four feet; knocked it in. On 7 I hit a drive — 6 — what is it,
6-iron — 5-iron, I don’t remember. That was a long putt. That was probably
about 15 yards, about 45 feet. 8, I hit a drive out to the right in the thick
stuff. 6-iron left, chipped it up to about four feet, made it for par. 9, I hit
a 3-iron — 8-iron to about 7 — 21 feet, 2-putted. 10, I hit a drive, 9-iron to
four feet for birdie. 11, drive, wedge, to about 30 feet. 12, that is the par
5. I hit a drive, 3-iron, I was short of the bunker, chipped it up to about
five feet — 5 yards, 13 feet — 15 feet, sorry, for birdie. 13, I hit a 5-wood
to the right, chipped it up to about a foot, made it for par. On 14 I hit a
