I thought I played really well all day,
I thought I played quite well today. I got off to a really good start. I'm a little disappointed in the end when it was getting so dark. I couldn't really read the greens for the last few holes.
Maybe somebody from Britain will go, ... They don't have to travel far.
I'm hitting the ball well enough. I had good opportunities today, but my putter let me down a few times.
I'm here and I can play, and I can play against anyone, ... I've proved that to myself over and over again. To me, I love having the opportunity to do it when I need to.
I'm in a little bit of a different position than last year, but having said that, I think I'm in great shape for tomorrow. It seems like I like this golf course. I'm going to go out and enjoy it tomorrow as well.
We had to look twice. We didn't know if she was on her 10th hole or she was 10 under. This golf course is not easy. She made it look easy.
To finish birdie-birdie on this course -- two difficult holes -- was promising for tomorrow. Compared to yesterday, this was quite an improvement.
To come here with high expectations to defend a title is always tough, but I thought I played really well and I'm very happy about that. This is a great event to start out the season.
Today was a tough round. It was kind of a roller-coaster and a little up and down. I had some really good shots, and then I had some bad ones. I have a few things to work on, but I'm very happy with 3-under. It could have been worse.
Today, the putter let me down a few times. I want to have a score that reflects how I'm playing.
Tiger is the only one I can think of. Maybe because this is the LPGA, it seems like it's been more about Michelle than Tiger.
When I saw it was Park, I thought it was Grace all day.
I can't seem to make a putt, and it's just very, very tough to be level par. I think that's probably the highest score I could have for the way I'm playing.
