handle
I just don't think I can handle that.
continue course game type
It's really a ball-striking type of course and that's my strategy. I want to continue to do what I'm doing. I'll play my own game (Sunday) and see what happens.
aggressive chase hungry might pull tomorrow whatever
She'll be hungry tomorrow and just might pull it off, but I'm hungry too. I'm going to chase her all day long ... play as aggressive as I have to or be conservative, whatever it takes.
maybe walk
I like to walk so maybe the first six-seven holes, it was like, 'you can't really find the rhythm. I do think it sped up play a little bit.
dreams follow maybe small
I just thought that is pretty neat. She comes from a small town, just like I do, and I thought, 'Wow! If she can do that, maybe I can follow my dreams and one day be able to follow her path.
good last perform pressure three time
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.
competition games good love players practice step ways
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.
adrenaline challenge coming extra few hit holes kicking knowing left love nine perfect shots starts stretch
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.
good three
I have three more days. I feel good about my game.
good greens hit position
I hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens and put myself in good position to make birdies out there.
clutch coming hitting love needed pulled shots stretch
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.
last lost next week
I really don't know what to say. One week you're second, the next week you're not on. She didn't even play last week (because there wasn't a scheduled tournament). She didn't even play and she lost her spot. That's tough.
felt hard months paid particular prepared pressure short weight word
I prepared for 3 1/2 months for that, which was a lot of weight training, a lot of fine-tuning on my swing, a lot of hard word on my short game. I wouldn't say it paid off that particular week, but it paid off down the road, for sure. I think being in the limelight, with the pressure I felt on the first tee, it was just enormous.
again bag beginning course grab prefer seven six speed system tough using
I prefer walking, but then again this course is very tough to walk. I think using carts was the right thing to do. I think it will speed up play. At the beginning it was tough to get your rhythm. Normally, you have the bag there and you grab a club. Now, you have to find a new system with your caddie. ... For the first six or seven holes, I couldn't really find a rhythm, but then in the end it was fine.
