I think of him as one of the players ? not that he's a woman, but he was part of the gang, you know? He could be in a coat-and-tie giving a speech, then sitting there in jeans and a shirt at a party with us.
To top this great season off with another win against the best players in the world, it just does not get much better than this, ... I love it, I really do. This is very, very satisfying.
This is a solid group. There's a lot more younger players coming up, and they've got strong games and they're making a lot of noise.
The upcoming players add flavor to the Tour.
I was a little bit worried there, but the players just turned it around on the back nine and we got four solid points.
I think the tour has been in a healthy state for quite some time. And now you're starting to see the fruit from all the hard work. The up-and-coming players are definitely a sign of that.
I love the competition and to see all the young players come up. Their games are getting better and I've got to step up, myself, which I think is good for me. I've got to find new ways to practice and new ways to get better.
I play this game for myself, and I motivate myself and I have my own goals, and I think I know my limits. I know what I want to achieve. There are a lot of young players coming up, and they are very good. But I also love being in the spot that I'm in, so that keeps me motivated.
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.
We don't voice our opinions the way they do. Hopefully, we can let our clubs do the talking.
I've never seen anything like it. The last time I saw crowds like this was the U.S. Open on a Sunday,
The spectators have been fantastic. It has been a really first-class event and I'm happy here.
I've been there before. You've just got to keep on grinding. I proved it again to myself that you just can never give up.
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.
