(Koda) has such a strong mind. This young lady is just not talented, she has such a good head on her shoulders. There are a lot of thoughts she'll be thinking about. I'm just glad we can make something great out of this. This is her dream. Hopefully she can show off to her mom.
I think for the future it's going to give us good measurements on the performance of everybody around the world. It's really tough to compare the money list, especially with the purses being different.
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.
I'm hitting the ball well enough. I had good opportunities today, but my putter let me down a few times.
I think it puts a little variety into the hole. It's a good hole either way. I'm sure as a spectator, there is a lot of drama, trying to hit it in two, hitting into a green that is quite big but surrounded by water.
I think everybody is saying the same thing. I'm very impressed, me personally. I think they've done a good job in every way.
Today was a tough round. It was kind of a roller-coaster and a little up and down. I had some really good shots, and then I had some bad ones. I have a few things to work on, but I'm very happy with 3-under. It could have been worse.
Tomorrow's another day and another match, ... I'm in good shape. I have the will and I have the endurance. I just have to play some good golf.
I don't want somebody to ask, 'How many tournaments did Annika Sorenstam win? I would rather they say she was a great athlete, she loved sportsmanship and she loved what she did. If they know my name, then they will know I played good golf.
I felt good coming into the round. I was hitting the ball really well. I didn't really get off to the start I had in mind. I had difficulty scoring and then on the back nine, the wind picked up and it got really difficult.
I finished good down the stretch today, as I did yesterday. (On No. 18), I had to get it up and hope it landed softly. I've been working a lot on my bunker shots this winter, so I feel good about it. ... It would have been really hard if I were in the rough. I was glad I was in the bunker.
I finished good down the stretch today as I did Thursday. I must say I played well today, I couldn't really get it going at all. I had three three-putts, but it's funny because I feel like I'm putting well.
I don't have sympathy for her. She's here, she's playing good golf and she's enjoying it.
I don't know what to say about this round, ... I thought I played pretty good today. It just didn't go my way at all.
