Golf has been my savior, there's no doubt about that.
I think I've become friendly with the golf course. I think with the rain, it totally softened the greens. And it seems like I play well when I can be more aggressive. ... It's kind of a ball-striking type of golf course, which I say is one of my strengths as well.
I don't have sympathy for her. She's here, she's playing good golf and she's enjoying it.
Luckily I had a little cushion, and at the end it seemed like I needed it, ... For me, a win is a win. I thought I played excellent the first two days. It's a tough golf course and a lot of things are shaping up for the end of year. So this meant a lot to me.
Obviously I'm in a position that I want to be. I like this golf course. I had a good (round) last year on Sunday. I'm going to keep that in my mind.
Obviously I'm very happy with my position. It was good steady golf, hitting a lot of fairways and greens and I'm putting very well.
This is a tough golf course. You really have to strike it well.
I just try to mind my own game, hit one shot at a time and kind of stay in the present. I felt she played pretty good today. it was quite some good golf I thought in the group, very consistent throughout.
I thought yesterday was a long day, one of the longest days on the golf course. It's really hard to stay focused, especially on a course like this.
It's going to be a golf school for about seven or eight months of the year. We're going to combine golf training with fitness. It's going to have my name on it, but the people that come here, they are going to be able to work with my swing coach and my fitness coach and once in a while I will make an appearance and play some golf as well.
I think Michelle is a great asset to the LPGA Tour and great for golf,
Michelle is very, very talented, ... She is a great asset to golf. I welcome her. The bottom line is, I'm a competitor. I will have my game do the talking. I think it has for the last 10 years, and I will continue to do it that way.
This is a tough golf course. I thought the pins were tough. We had some wind, not a lot but just enough when it comes to club selection.
I like this golf course, ... I shoot under par here because I'm making my putts. I feel confident when I come here and I think that's important.
