She'll be hungry tomorrow and just might pull it off, but I'm hungry too. I'm going to chase her all day long ... play as aggressive as I have to or be conservative, whatever it takes.
I really pulled out some clutch shots when I needed to. That's why I love doing this. Coming down the stretch and hitting those shots, there's nothing better.
In Sweden, I thought the atmosphere was great. Obviously, we had a lot of fans pulling for us,
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.
I've been on vacation for two weeks. I feel very relaxed. I've had a chance to practice quite a bit the last two days. I needed a break, but now I feel good again, so I'm looking forward to a great week.
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.
The way I look at it is I have to play my own game. I can't focus on any particular player because there's too much to do on my own. I have enough on my plate.
The season is far from over for me and for some other players,
Even though this is my 12th year on tour, I love what I do. There's always a challenge. There are things I want to improve on, things I want to change. That's what keeps me going.
Everybody knows that. We have a big challenge ahead.
