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.
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.
Liselotte was wondering who she was playing with.
I think just playing aggressive helped me today. I hit a lot of shots close and took advantage of the par-fives.
I can't seem to make a putt and it's just very, very tough to be level par. I'm playing the way that I normally play here. Just nothing is happening.
I don't have sympathy for her. She's here, she's playing good golf and she's enjoying it.
Obviously the course was playing very different from the practice round. The par-fives you can reach in two all of a sudden you're having trouble reaching in three.
I finished a lot better than yesterday. The previous two days, I haven't made anything, and I missed little putts. It really leaves a sour taste in your mouth, especially when I feel like I'm playing go well.
I feel like I've been playing so well the last couple of weeks, ... I knew coming in here I had a chance to win this event for the fifth time. I've had it in the back of my mind. It only happens maybe once, so you have to take advantage of it.
I've got to prove to Catrin (Nilsmark) that I'm playing well, so maybe she'll put me out there in the afternoon. I was a little worried after the front nine this morning. I thought I might be sleeping late tomorrow morning.
Today my putter let me down a few times. I fought really hard out there. I really tried. When I finally make a birdie, a bogey comes in. It takes 10 holes to make another birdie. It's a little tough at the moment. I feel I'm playing better, but nothing happens.
Our team is getting better playing well over here. I thought today's singles were very close and it could have gone either way.
You still are playing the same holes, it's just a different order.
Last time I played I had to go 36 holes in one day which was a bit much. But I love playing in 72-hole tournaments and look forward to this event before the third major.
