best direction goals high love month rounds rude step today tournament win
When I come to a tournament I set really high goals and I come here to do the best I can. I don't know if I'm being rude if I win my own tournament, but I'm just a very competitive person and I love to do well. Today was a step in the right direction and one of my better rounds in about a month so I feel really good.
finish four last looking playing quite start straight sun tough
The last four holes, we were playing straight into the sun and straight into the wind. I was looking at the clock, hoping, wondering, 'Can we finish today?' It would have been quite a tough day (Sunday) if we couldn't finish, have to get up early, finish and then start over.
few good greens last played quite
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.
course doubt endurance few glad good last quite
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.
consistent felt golf good hit mind played quite shot stay time
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.
either good green hit hitting hole puts quite sure surrounded trying variety
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.
few forward good great hit looking maybe three today
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.
crowds last open saw seen time
I've never seen anything like it. The last time I saw crowds like this was the U.S. Open on a Sunday,
hit mindset shot
It makes you hit every shot in the bag. For me, I come in with the mindset that I have to play well.
grinding hope turn
Sometimes you can't do a thing about it. You just have to try and keep on grinding and hope that things will turn around eventually.
blur focused inside last stay year
Last year was a blur with all I was going through (off the course) and sometimes I don't know how I managed to stay focused when I was inside the ropes,
doubt golf
Golf has been my savior, there's no doubt about that.
birdie glad happy hopefully last together turn
It was just one of those days. I am happy with the way I am playing, I just couldn't get it together today. I'm just glad I made birdie on the last hole. Hopefully I can turn it around.
course incredible wondering
I actually had to look twice. I was wondering what course she was playing. That's an incredible score.
