I can't seem to make a putt and it's just very, very tough to be level par. I'm playing the way that I normally play here. Just nothing is happening.
I don't want somebody to ask, 'How many tournaments did Annika Sorenstam win? I would rather they say she was a great athlete, she loved sportsmanship and she loved what she did. If they know my name, then they will know I played good golf.
I don't think you ever get used to it. This is a great week for her and I hope she enjoys it.
I come from a little town just like she does, ... So for her to travel all the way from Sweden and live your dream, when I saw that headline, I said, 'That's what I want to do.'
I came to No. 16 knowing I had three holes, and I had to do something,
I am happier on the course. I am happier off the course. Obviously that's a good balance to have.
I am flattered and honored to be chosen by so many different editors.
I am in good position and I am looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully I can continue to hit it the way I have and just make a few more putts. Then I'll be happy.
I have had two weeks off and I'm rested,
I don't have sympathy for her. She's here, she's playing good golf and she's enjoying it.
I don't know what to say about this round, ... I thought I played pretty good today. It just didn't go my way at all.
Obviously in Michelle's case, she didn't get off to the start she wanted, ... I saw Maria in front was making some mistakes, it was one of those days where you just really had to survive.
Obviously, I'm very, very happy to get a chance to do something today that nobody has ever done before.
Obviously I'm very happy with my position. It was good steady golf, hitting a lot of fairways and greens and I'm putting very well.
