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.
I love the challenge and I love coming down the stretch and making the shots you need to, ... It's just the extra excitement, knowing there are just a few holes left and having to hit the perfect shot. That's when all my adrenaline starts kicking in, on the back nine because that's when it matters.
It wasn't that bad, but I made a few mistakes out there. It's been a hectic week as tournament host, but now it's all over and when I woke up this morning I thought now I'm inside the ropes and nobody's chasing me.
Natalie has played very, very consistent last year and then the first few tournaments this year.
I thought I played quite well today. I got off to a really good start. I'm a little disappointed in the end when it was getting so dark. I couldn't really read the greens for the last few holes.
Obviously, endurance is going to play a role, there's no doubt about it. It's a hilly course and you've got to be in good shape, especially if the temperatures are up there. If we get the humidity, it could be quite tough. Having said that, I'm glad that I've been working out the last few years.
I am in good position and I am looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully I can continue to hit it the way I have and just make a few more putts. Then I'll be happy.
I told my caddie, ?A few more rolls and it would have been a 2. I have never had a double eagle. That would have made my day for sure.
I was nervous. I woke up a little early, ... I had a few butterflies in my stomach.
I am working as hard in the gym as ever, and I feel as strong as ever. Knock on wood, I haven't had any injuries. I have learned so much the last few years.
It wasn't the finish I wanted, but sometimes you just take what you've got. I was trying to make a few more birdies, but it didn't happen.
I feel like I hit the ball pretty well, actually, ... I feel like I left a few strokes out there, but I drove (the ball) well, hit good iron shots, putted well (and) just felt connected.
I did miss a few in the middle of the round, but when you make some, it feels better,
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.
