It's a big step for her to turn pro. I think she can handle it.
When I come to a tournament I set really high goals and I come here to do the best I can. I don't know if I'm being rude if I win my own tournament, but I'm just a very competitive person and I love to do well. Today was a step in the right direction and one of my better rounds in about a month so I feel really good.
I think what I've got to do is just take one step at a time, one tournament at a time, trying to prepare as much as I can for the majors. I know how to win them. I've just got to be able to do it in one year. So that's my biggest goal this year.
I think I played really well this week, ... This is an elite field and I am competitive. I stepped up this week.
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'm excited for her to come out and play with us, ... It's a big step for her to turn professional, but I think she can handle it.
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.
