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,
I'm proud that I played solidly throughout the whole round. There were a couple of holes where I didn't feel that comfortable, but I just survived on those holes and I came back.
The front nine I just was a little bit shaky and made a lot of stupid bogeys,
The first time I grabbed a golf club, I knew that I'd do it for the rest of my life.
I have played in rain before. I have played in wind before. I have played in cold before, but not all put together. They were the hardest conditions I ever played in.
