behind certainly confidence fresh goal second start win
It's always been my goal to win here and this certainly makes it a little easier. I have a lot of confidence now, but I have to put this behind me and start fresh in the second round.
bit wind
The wind was a little bit of a factor.
beat best happy round trying work
My best round ever was a 65. I was trying to beat that, but it didn't work out because of the bogeys. But, I was very happy with my round today.
definitely pleased wish
I wish we could just keep on playing. I was definitely pleased with my finish.
chipping course felt good great key management playing putting
I felt pretty good about the round. I thought my chipping and putting were great and it was a good round. I just need to keep playing my game. I thought my course management was good, and I think the key to this course is course management, so I am going to keep that as my strategy.
afford course greens manage miss places short tight
It's a short course, but it makes you manage every part of the course because it is kind of tight and the greens are tough. There are a lot of places you can't afford to miss here. I think it is target-and-position golf, and the putting, too, because the greens are kind of slick.
hole mess playing realized second virginia
I think I realized around hole 14 that Virginia wasn't going to mess up. She was playing steady; she was playing safe. I started playing for second (place) around there.
