Liselotte was wondering who she was playing with.
I think everybody is saying the same thing. I'm very impressed, me personally. I think they've done a good job in every way.
I think of him as one of the players ? not that he's a woman, but he was part of the gang, you know? He could be in a coat-and-tie giving a speech, then sitting there in jeans and a shirt at a party with us.
It doesn't bother me. I think it's great we're getting more attention. If I couldn't get the attention, I'm glad Michelle can get it. I'm just happy to be a part of it. I know what I've achieved. I know the records that I have set, and nobody can take those away.
You just know it's going to be slow out there tomorrow and you just have to accept it and stay focused on your own game.
You just kind of have to turn it off, go in, relax and not worry too much about it,
Winning the LPGA Championship was very satisfying, especially considering the shot I made over the trees on the 16th.
Well, it has been a long day, but I'm happy with my score. I thought I played some good golf today. And it seemed once I made a birdie, I kept going with it.
I think for the future it's going to give us good measurements on the performance of everybody around the world. It's really tough to compare the money list, especially with the purses being different.
I think just playing aggressive helped me today. I hit a lot of shots close and took advantage of the par-fives.
I think Michelle is a great asset to the LPGA Tour and great for golf,
I think I've become friendly with the golf course. I think with the rain, it totally softened the greens. And it seems like I play well when I can be more aggressive. ... It's kind of a ball-striking type of golf course, which I say is one of my strengths as well.
I thought I could get complete relief. I thought that was the rule, ... They said, 'No, it's a straight shot.' So we disagreed.
I thought I played well today. I didn't score as well, but I had a lot of chances and am very happy with my game.
