Yes, I do fancy our chances. But we won't have it easy because there are a lot of good teams, especially Japan and the United States.
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.
We stood at the tee and I told Suzann, 'We can turn this around and be 1-up. Suzann said, 'No, we could be 2-up.' I said, 'Yeah, you're right.
We started making some birdies on the back nine and had an incredible finish. It's amazing, and it's so much fun.
In Sweden, I thought the atmosphere was great. Obviously, we had a lot of fans pulling for us,
I like this golf course, ... I shoot under par here because I'm making my putts. I feel confident when I come here and I think that's important.

I really don't feel a lot of pressure to perform the way I have the last three years. I just feel good about my game. I just want to come out, have a good time and get a little better here and there.
I love the competition and to see all the young players come up. Their games are getting better and I've got to step up, myself, which I think is good for me. I've got to find new ways to practice and new ways to get better.
I love the challenge and I love coming down the stretch and making the shots you need to, ... It's just the extra excitement, knowing there are just a few holes left and having to hit the perfect shot. That's when all my adrenaline starts kicking in, on the back nine because that's when it matters.
I have three more days. I feel good about my game.
I hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens and put myself in good position to make birdies out there.
I really pulled out some clutch shots when I needed to. That's why I love doing this. Coming down the stretch and hitting those shots, there's nothing better.
