I played great, but all my putts, strangely, didn't drop,
If you think about how old I am right now it's a little too much money for me, ... I'm having too much fun as an amateur, just going to tournaments, not having that much pressure money-wise and stuff like that. It's really fun.
I get bored easily. I like challenges. I've played against men my whole life. I want to play against the best players in the world, men and women.
I guess what it boils down to is that the women who are eligible to actually qualify have their own agenda, and trying to get to the 36-hole qualifying probably isn't very high on their list,
Before the birdies, I had a sense of urgency, ... I knew I had to do something to get things going.
I don't really care what they think because I actually qualified for this event. So I feel I belong here. I'm not looking for 100 percent support. I know there are going to be people against me. I'm not going to stop just for them.
If someone wants to give you, like, $100 million, it's hard to say no. But I don't want to accept that kind of money right now. I'd feel burdened by it.
Playing like this isn't really fun, but there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.
You have to focus or you won't play the way you want to. It was fun.
It feels great to be, you know, in competition. You know, I didn't play as well as I wanted today, but I felt like I played really strong during the back, the last couple of holes. Hopefully, I will follow through tomorrow. Who knows?
I think God destined that I play. I think it's all in the books already.
Well, I've played in rain before. I've played in the wind before. I played when it was cold before. But all put together was really hectic,
Michelle really likes to chat with me, but she is so busy these days. She likes to share the good things and bad things with me,
I was kind of disappointed on that hole, ... I felt like I should have made an eagle there, but I was still happy with the birdie.
