Today was a tough round. It was kind of a roller-coaster and a little up and down. I had some really good shots, and then I had some bad ones. I have a few things to work on, but I'm very happy with 3-under. It could have been worse.
Obviously, I'm very, very happy to get a chance to do something today that nobody has ever done before.
Obviously I am very happy about my round today. Yesterday I was a little frustrated. I thought I hit the ball really well and I had a lot of opportunities. Today I do not feel like I left that many out there. I feel good about how I put my score together. I feel I hit the ball well and had a lot of opportunities and converted most of them.
I feel like I can find five shots today and probably five shots every day (to shave off her score). That's the way I look at things. I try to make a perfect round. I left a lot of strokes out there.
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.
It's only Thursday; I have three more days. I'm looking forward to it. I still feel good about my game. Today it was almost. It was very, very close, but not really it. And right now, I don't really know what I've got to do to make it a great one, maybe make a few putts, maybe hit a few drives.
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.
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.
Today is probably 10 percent of the whole tournament. It's such a long way to go. I've got to be patient, If you prepare for months and months and set high goals, the last thing to do is come to a tournament and get in my own way. That would ruin it for myself.
I had the chance to do something today that nobody else has done, so of course I felt some pressure all week, ... That is what motivates me. That is why I play this game. To come here and do something like this, it's just very gratifying.
I really didn't know what to expect, ... It's tricky on certain holes and the greens have a lot of different pin possibilities. There was wind yesterday, and today there was no wind. I'm sure we can get a lot of different conditions - it was a little cold this morning and warm in the afternoon. I'm looking forward to it.
I really did not play very well today unfortunately, ... I hit a few bad shots and it was a tough day at the office really.
The course is playing a lot longer today and the wind is difficult to judge, but on the other hand I didn't make a single putt,
I'm more than pleased and today I feel great.
