I think what I've got to do is just take one step at a time, one tournament at a time, trying to prepare as much as I can for the majors. I know how to win them. I've just got to be able to do it in one year. So that's my biggest goal this year.
I think I played really well this week, ... This is an elite field and I am competitive. I stepped up this week.
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.
I love the competition and to see all the young players come up. Their games are getting better and I've got to step up, myself, which I think is good for me. I've got to find new ways to practice and new ways to get better.
I'm excited for her to come out and play with us, ... It's a big step for her to turn professional, but I think she can handle it.
It's a big step for her to turn pro. I think she can handle it.
I think it's very tricky, ... There are so many different bounces you can get on the fairways, on the greens and everywhere, really. It's not playing long, but it's really tricky. The greens are a little roughed up, so I'm looking forward to a morning tee time.
I think we all knew that was going to be the case coming in. That's what makes this so great.
I think the tour has been in a healthy state for quite some time. And now you're starting to see the fruit from all the hard work. The up-and-coming players are definitely a sign of that.
(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.
Last time I played I had to go 36 holes in one day which was a bit much. But I love playing in 72-hole tournaments and look forward to this event before the third major.
I think (Creamer's) very excited to be part of the team. She has every right to be,
Our team is getting better playing well over here. I thought today's singles were very close and it could have gone either way.
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.
