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.
On the first tee I kept telling myself, "Trust yourself, you can do it."
We stood on the tee and I told Suzann, 'We can turn this around and be 1-up,' ... After that, it seems like we took air out of the team.
We stood at the tee and I told Suzann, 'We can turn this around and be 1-up. Suzann said, 'No, we could be 2-up.' I said, 'Yeah, you're right.
My front 9 was not very pretty. I hit some great iron shots, but my tee shots were not that great.
Yesterday, I couldn't feel comfortable over the putter, I thought the greens were very bumpy. Today, I had a tee time about an hour and 15 minutes earlier. The conditions were a lot better, less people walking around on the greens. I think that was important for me because I started to roll in some putts and I felt a lot better.
I just hope I make my tee time. It seems like there's a lot to do. I have to take out the trash and get the phone and all that, and all of a sudden I have to rush to the course, which is what happened this morning.
It was a wonderful finish. It wasn't the world's best tee shot, but then I got the ball on the green and rolled in the putt.
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 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,
