I'm happy to be back in Ohio. This state has been very good to me. And my first impression is the course is a good one. You really can hit the ball well here, I think.
You have to hit it a long way, be able to spin the ball. It will take an extraordinary woman, an extraordinary athlete. Maybe down the road there will be someone like Michelle who wants to go.
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.
The momentum is not there. I hit a lot of good shots, but my good shots don't get close.
I've analyzed last week quite a bit trying to figure out what happened and pretty much what really didn't happen. I just came to the conclusion that I tried, but things just didn't add up. I was pretty happy with the way I hit the ball and pretty happy the way I was putting. I just wasn't happy with where I ended up.
I wanted to get close to the pin without putting the bunker in play. All of a sudden he just kept talking about a straight shot. I don't know how many times you hit a straight shot in golf. It's very seldom. You either work it right to left or left to right, depending on the pin.
Sometimes, it doesn't go your way. I hit a few bad shots, a few bad putts, and it just accumulated. Fortunately for me, I'm playing next week. I've got to forget about this as soon as I can.
My front 9 was not very pretty. I hit some great iron shots, but my tee shots were not that great.
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.
She's got talent. She can really hit the ball. She's got a great head on her shoulders. She's really strong and her attitude is really something great.

She didn't hit greens, but her short game helped her. She had a lot of up and downs to keep the score going. And she missed a lot of putts early on, kind of like I did, but in the end she was pretty solid.
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.
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.
