ahead challenge hard huge keeps kept motivated nobody obviously test
It's obviously going to be very, very hard and nobody has ever done it, ... I know that. But for me, that's kept me motivated. That's what keeps me motivated in the mornings, to have a huge challenge ahead of me. I just want to test myself to see if I can really do it.
fans happy stay
It's crazy, really. It's been a very long day and I'm happy to be done. For these fans to stay around here is amazing.
forget good quickly
It was not a very good day for me. I didn't play well at all. I just want to forget about this day as quickly as possible.
hole local played putt seen terry walked
I walked up to the 14th hole and I said to Terry (McNamara, her caddie), this is one of those putts where I have local knowledge, ... I've been there before. If I would have just seen that putt for the first time, I wouldn't have played as much break.
front late maybe might nine playing prove sleeping tomorrow worried
I've got to prove to Catrin (Nilsmark) that I'm playing well, so maybe she'll put me out there in the afternoon. I was a little worried after the front nine this morning. I thought I might be sleeping late tomorrow morning.
europe excited four happy needed normally played ready three turned weeks
I've had four weeks off, so I'm happy to be here. I'm ready to come back and play some tournaments. I am excited to get going again. I normally don't have four weeks off in the summer, but it just turned out to be that this year. I played in Europe three weeks and needed a long break.

Not a good day at all. I made zero putts. And I thought I'd finally got these Evian greens figured out.

ball dry fly frozen grips stay tough
It's very tough. I'm frozen and soaked. The ball doesn't fly as far. It's tough to keep the grips dry and stay warm. This is probably as tough as it gets. And then we have hail.
easier goals motivates pushes visualize work
It's very important, ... And why is it important? Because that motivates me, and that pushes me. If I can visualize something, then it is easier for me to work there. But if I just said, 'Hey, I want to be a better player,' well, what does that mean? I need to see things. Goals are things I can understand, I can touch.
focused four obviously player thinking throughout time totally won year
It's something that comes throughout the season, ... The first time I obviously wanted to be player of the year, then I said let's see if I can do it again. This year I was totally focused on majors, thinking if I won all four majors, I could become player of the year.
feels routine toughest trusting
It just feels like I've been to the toughest place, and now it's more routine and trusting myself.
fight fun good momentum nice rotten start
It's always nice to get off to a good start and get some momentum for the week. It's no fun getting off to a rotten start. You have to fight back all the way, and you don't feel like you can make any mistakes.
hit mindset shot
It makes you hit every shot in the bag. For me, I come in with the mindset that I have to play well.
