I'm not so disappointed. I think J.J. just played incredible. I think she would have been very hard to catch today. So my hat's off to her. She played excellent.
I'm very proud of the way I played and I played four solid rounds of golf,
I walked up to the 14th hole and I said to Terry (McNamara, her caddie), this is one of those putts where I have local knowledge, ... I've been there before. If I would have just seen that putt for the first time, I wouldn't have played as much break.
I've had four weeks off, so I'm happy to be here. I'm ready to come back and play some tournaments. I am excited to get going again. I normally don't have four weeks off in the summer, but it just turned out to be that this year. I played in Europe three weeks and needed a long break.
I want to end this season the way I started. I played really well early on and I'd like to finish that way.
This was the best I've played all week.
Throughout this season, we've played against each other and now it'll be great to team with her as a partner.
A little disappointed about the outcome - it was so close. The US team played some great golf.
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.
Luckily I had a little cushion, and at the end it seemed like I needed it, ... For me, a win is a win. I thought I played excellent the first two days. It's a tough golf course and a lot of things are shaping up for the end of year. So this meant a lot to me.
I'm a little disappointed about the outcome, ... It was so, so close. But the U.S. team played some great golf.
I finished with a birdie, so I think I'll leave this place with a smile, ... This was the first time I played here in the morning. The greens were a lot smoother and in great shape. It's too bad I had only four holes (to play Monday).
I finished good down the stretch today as I did Thursday. I must say I played well today, I couldn't really get it going at all. I had three three-putts, but it's funny because I feel like I'm putting well.
Naturally, I'm pleased with my season in many different ways and especially because I've played less tournaments and still won so much,
