I want to end this season the way I started. I played really well early on and I'd like to finish that way.
It was good to recharge the batteries, but three weeks went by very quickly. I think a four-day tournament is really what it's all about. If you think about all the big tournaments that we play, all the majors, it's more of a true test - a four-day tournament.
The atmosphere is there, and the talk is there, and now we have to just play. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. We don't voice our opinions the way they do. Hopefully we can let our clubs do the talking.
It just shows how you should never give up,
It's great to be back in Orlando. I'm glad it's here and I'm glad we're back and hopefully it will stay here for some time.
It's a big step for her to turn pro. I think she can handle it.
It's a great challenge. There's no doubt about it. I don't mind sharing the spotlight a little bit. Maybe I can practice under the radar and play under the radar.
I told my caddie, ?A few more rolls and it would have been a 2. I have never had a double eagle. That would have made my day for sure.
It's a little bit of a different situation than last year. But having said that, I'm in great shape for tomorrow. I'm happy with the way I'm playing. I'm hitting a lot of fairways and greens, and I'm putting well.
We did not get off to a good start at all. We were really struggling. We kept telling ourselves, 'Let's keep fighting. We can do this.' We started making some birdies on the back nine and had an incredible finish.
Yesterday I walked off feeling I'd left some shots out there,
Yesterday, I couldn't feel comfortable over the putter, I thought the greens were very bumpy. Today, I had a tee time about an hour and 15 minutes earlier. The conditions were a lot better, less people walking around on the greens. I think that was important for me because I started to roll in some putts and I felt a lot better.
When I come to a tournament I set really high goals and I come here to do the best I can. I don't know if I'm being rude if I win my own tournament, but I'm just a very competitive person and I love to do well. Today was a step in the right direction and one of my better rounds in about a month so I feel really good.
We stood on the tee and I told Suzann, 'We can turn this around and be 1-up,' ... After that, it seems like we took air out of the team.
