control felt needed nerves pressure
I felt pressure all week, but I was able to control my nerves and make some birdies when I needed to. To come here and do something like this is very gratifying.
ball coming difficulty felt good hitting picked scoring start wind
I felt good coming into the round. I was hitting the ball really well. I didn't really get off to the start I had in mind. I had difficulty scoring and then on the back nine, the wind picked up and it got really difficult.
five left perfect shave shots strokes today
I feel like I can find five shots today and probably five shots every day (to shave off her score). That's the way I look at things. I try to make a perfect round. I left a lot of strokes out there.
finally mission par tomorrow
I finally made some birdies at the par fives so that was mission accomplished and tomorrow is going to be a big day.
bad finished four great greens holes leave played time
I finished with a birdie, so I think I'll leave this place with a smile, ... This was the first time I played here in the morning. The greens were a lot smoother and in great shape. It's too bad I had only four holes (to play Monday).
bunker finished glad good hard hope landed shots stretch
I finished good down the stretch today, as I did yesterday. (On No. 18), I had to get it up and hope it landed softly. I've been working a lot on my bunker shots this winter, so I feel good about it. ... It would have been really hard if I were in the rough. I was glad I was in the bunker.
finished funny good played putting stretch three today
I finished good down the stretch today as I did Thursday. I must say I played well today, I couldn't really get it going at all. I had three three-putts, but it's funny because I feel like I'm putting well.
finished leaves missed playing previous sour taste
I finished a lot better than yesterday. The previous two days, I haven't made anything, and I missed little putts. It really leaves a sour taste in your mouth, especially when I feel like I'm playing go well.
ball drove felt few good hit iron left strokes
I feel like I hit the ball pretty well, actually, ... I feel like I left a few strokes out there, but I drove (the ball) well, hit good iron shots, putted well (and) just felt connected.
advantage chance coming couple event fifth happens knew last maybe playing win
I feel like I've been playing so well the last couple of weeks, ... I knew coming in here I had a chance to win this event for the fifth time. I've had it in the back of my mind. It only happens maybe once, so you have to take advantage of it.
feels few middle miss
I did miss a few in the middle of the round, but when you make some, it feels better,
eight great hot incredibly means start won worldwide year
I did make an incredibly hot start to the year and to have won eight times worldwide means I've had a great season,
highest level score seem tough
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.
level normally playing putt seem tough
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.
