change happy
I was happy to see that. That made me feel comfortable. But I didn't change my plans.
birdie easy focus good happy hole second start tried
I thought to myself, this is a good start to the tournament. I didn't think it was going to be this good. I just tried to really focus and concentrate. I made birdie on the first hole and a birdie on the second hole. I was very happy about that. Then everything was easy and everything was so clear. It was a really good round.
chance focused goals good happy last start sure tournament week win
Well, I'm very happy with the way I played. It was one of my goals just to have a good first day to make sure that I have a chance to win a tournament on the weekend. I got off to a good start last week and was really focused today. I feel great.
best chance contention couple drop good happy hope ok round shots trophy
I didn't have my best round today. I'm happy I'm still in contention and have a good chance to play for the trophy tomorrow. I hope the birdies I didn't make today, they drop tomorrow. I feel good. It's OK to be a couple of shots back.
happy shots three
I'm happy with the finish. Three shots makes a big difference.
behind best came chance chances friday gave good happy opportunity run win
I gave myself a chance to win the tournament. I came from behind and I had a really good run on Friday and Saturday. I was just happy that I had an opportunity and I did my best ... The more chances I have, the better.
fun
Everything was easy, and everything was so clear. It was fun to be out there.
close finished strong though
I didn't get mad. We just kind of let it go and I finished strong. Even though I didn't make any birdies, I finished strong and I was really close to the hole.
game great realize telling
I was telling my caddie, sometimes you don't think she realizes she is 16. I don't think we realize she's only 16. She has a great game and it's great all she has done at 16 years old.
driver lost tournament
I think I lost the tournament with my driver on the back nine.
last learned three tournament year
I think last year in this tournament I learned more than I did in three years on tour.
fun good start
I thought to myself, 'This is a good start to the tournament.' I didn't think it was going to be this good. Everything was easy, and everything was so clear. It was fun to be out there.
difference good leaders round staying until
I'm staying positive. Up until now, the difference isn't that great. With a good round tomorrow, I can give the leaders a scare.
ball farther hitting last yards
I'm hitting the ball probably 10 yards farther than last year.
