I've been there before. You've just got to keep on grinding. I proved it again to myself that you just can never give up.
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.
Throughout this season, we've played against each other and now it'll be great to team with her as a partner.
It shows a lot of consistency. It's tough to rate this against some of my other accomplishments because they're all so different. But to do something nobody has ever done is going to rank right up there.
To top this great season off with another win against the best players in the world, it just does not get much better than this, ... I love it, I really do. This is very, very satisfying.
Golf has definitely been my savior during this period and I'm very proud of the way I have performed again this season.
I prefer walking, but then again this course is very tough to walk. I think using carts was the right thing to do. I think it will speed up play. At the beginning it was tough to get your rhythm. Normally, you have the bag there and you grab a club. Now, you have to find a new system with your caddie. ... For the first six or seven holes, I couldn't really find a rhythm, but then in the end it was fine.
The eagle on 14 was crucial. We struggled a bit on the back nine and the momentum certainly swung our way again with that eagle.
I'm more than pleased. I don't want to use the word relieved, because it means so much to win this championship, but it's been a tough week. To top this great season off with a win against the best players in the world, it just doesn't get much better than this.
We don't voice our opinions the way they do. Hopefully, we can let our clubs do the talking.
I've never seen anything like it. The last time I saw crowds like this was the U.S. Open on a Sunday,
The spectators have been fantastic. It has been a really first-class event and I'm happy here.
I've been hitting it beautifully, driving it good and hitting a lot of greens. But nothing seems to happen. I'm being optimistic, my game is there.
I've been on vacation for two weeks. I feel very relaxed. I've had a chance to practice quite a bit the last two days. I needed a break, but now I feel good again, so I'm looking forward to a great week.
