I've never seen anything like it. The last time I saw crowds like this was the U.S. Open on a Sunday,
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.
The Mizuno Classic has been good to me. This is the first time I've had no bogeys in a 54-hole round and the first time with no 3-putts so I was very consistent and solid.
She's so close. It's just a matter of time when she is going to break through. The key really to winning your first is just you've really got to play your own game and trust yourself.
The Mizuno Classic has been good to me, ... This is the first time I've had no bogeys in a 54-hole round and the first time with no 3-putts so I was very consistent and solid.
I finished with a birdie, so I think I'll leave this place with a smile, ... This was the first time I played here in the morning. The greens were a lot smoother and in great shape. It's too bad I had only four holes (to play Monday).
It's something that comes throughout the season, ... The first time I obviously wanted to be player of the year, then I said let's see if I can do it again. This year I was totally focused on majors, thinking if I won all four majors, I could become player of the year.
The first time I saw (the 10 under) was on my sixth hole when I saw she was 10 under. I actually had to look twice. I thought she was on the 10th hole. What can I say, it was a fantastic round. This golf course is not easy.
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.
It makes you hit every shot in the bag. For me, I come in with the mindset that I have to play well.
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.
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,
Golf has been my savior, there's no doubt about that.
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.
