I'm looking forward to returning to Hamilton Farm to try to improve on last year's performance. A match-play event brings great variety to the schedule.
I'm excited to be here. It's great to be back as a defending champion. I think the golf course is in as good shape as I've ever seen it. I think that makes it even more special. I think I'm as ready as I can be.
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.
I'm happy to be back. I have great memories from this place. I won the championship twice, and last year's was obviously a great way. I remember playing really well and it was one of those weeks where everything went my way.
It's very important to take the lead early on. You want to set the pace. It's great to have the momentum on your side. It's tough to fight from behind.
It's great to be back in Orlando. I'm glad it's here and I'm glad we're back and hopefully it will stay here for some time.
Throughout this season, we've played against each other and now it'll be great to team with her as a partner.
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.
They always have a great field in Phoenix. That's what makes it one of the best tournaments on the tour. I have some wonderful memories from playing in Phoenix, and certainly winning the last two at Superstition Mountain are included, so I'm looking forward to coming back.
This is one of greatest things I've done in my career, ... I felt pressure all week but I tried to stay aggressive. Obviously I feel great.
This course is long for me to start with, and you put some wind and some firm greens, it made it really tough for me to get it close. It's an honor simply to come here. This is a great experience for me.
This has been another great season and this victory caps it off.
A little disappointed about the outcome - it was so close. The US team played some great golf.
My front 9 was not very pretty. I hit some great iron shots, but my tee shots were not that great.
