good happy last left nice single track
I'm happy to come out and be able to read some greens. Last week, I couldn't see a single thing. I would tell my caddie, 'I think it's left edge,' and he would say, 'No, I think it's on the right.' I really didn't know what to do. Here, I have a good feel, and it's nice to be back on the right track again.
bunker close depending either hit kept left pin putting shot straight sudden talking work
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.
five left perfect shave shots strokes today
I feel like I can find five shots today and probably five shots every day (to shave off her score). That's the way I look at things. I try to make a perfect round. I left a lot of strokes out there.

ball converted good happy hit left obviously round score today yesterday
Obviously I am very happy about my round today. Yesterday I was a little frustrated. I thought I hit the ball really well and I had a lot of opportunities. Today I do not feel like I left that many out there. I feel good about how I put my score together. I feel I hit the ball well and had a lot of opportunities and converted most of them.
adrenaline challenge coming extra few hit holes kicking knowing left love nine perfect shots starts stretch
I love the challenge and I love coming down the stretch and making the shots you need to, ... It's just the extra excitement, knowing there are just a few holes left and having to hit the perfect shot. That's when all my adrenaline starts kicking in, on the back nine because that's when it matters.

Yesterday I walked off feeling I'd left some shots out there,

I am pretty happy. I think I left a few out there on my front, which was my back, ... Three-under is a good score. It's not great, but not a bad one.

I'm very competitive. I'd do anything to beat them all.

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.

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.
atmosphere clubs hopefully opinions talk voice
The atmosphere is there, and the talk is there, and now we have to just play. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. We don't voice our opinions the way they do. Hopefully we can let our clubs do the talking.
