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.
Luckily I had a little cushion, and at the end it seemed like I needed it, ... For me, a win is a win. I thought I played excellent the first two days. It's a tough golf course and a lot of things are shaping up for the end of year. So this meant a lot to me.
Last year was a blur with all I was going through (off the course) and sometimes I don't know how I managed to stay focused when I was inside the ropes,
so I can feel the steel and be more in touch with the workout.
She took a drop from one of those (electric cart) tracks and I just told her that she didn't mark her ball when she picked it up, ... So I told her for future reference to always mark the golf ball. She had a good drop, but you need to know where to put the ball.
She's so close. It's just a matter of time when she is going to break through. The key really to winning your first is just you've really got to play your own game and trust yourself.
She's so close. It's just a matter of time.
She's got talent. She can really hit the ball. She's got a great head on her shoulders. She's really strong and her attitude is really something great.

She didn't hit greens, but her short game helped her. She had a lot of up and downs to keep the score going. And she missed a lot of putts early on, kind of like I did, but in the end she was pretty solid.
She is one of the pioneers from Sweden, and I think she is not just a great role model for myself but for a lot of youngsters at home. She is a first-class lady, so for me to be here and her as my partner, it is a great honor.
She is very, very strong. She is mentally strong and she is tough.
I'm a little disappointed about the outcome, ... It was so, so close. But the U.S. team played some great golf.
I have been in this situation before to have a chance to three-peat. It is always a lot of fun to see if you can do it.
