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.
That's the new generation, ... I think we should welcome them all and say, 'Hey, that's good for golf.'
I think everybody is saying the same thing. I'm very impressed, me personally. I think they've done a good job in every way.
Well, it has been a long day, but I'm happy with my score. I thought I played some good golf today. And it seemed once I made a birdie, I kept going with it.
I think for the future it's going to give us good measurements on the performance of everybody around the world. It's really tough to compare the money list, especially with the purses being different.
I thought I played quite well today. I got off to a really good start. I'm a little disappointed in the end when it was getting so dark. I couldn't really read the greens for the last few holes.
I'm hitting the ball well enough. I had good opportunities today, but my putter let me down a few times.
Today was a tough round. It was kind of a roller-coaster and a little up and down. I had some really good shots, and then I had some bad ones. I have a few things to work on, but I'm very happy with 3-under. It could have been worse.
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 am happier on the course. I am happier off the course. Obviously that's a good balance to have.
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 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.
