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 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.
You just have to try and keep on grinding and hope that things will turn around eventually.
I stay patient. I don't go out there and try to set a course record. That's probably one of my strengths and one reason I've been able to win major championships.
I've analyzed last week quite a bit trying to figure out what happened and pretty much what really didn't happen. I just came to the conclusion that I tried, but things just didn't add up. I was pretty happy with the way I hit the ball and pretty happy the way I was putting. I just wasn't happy with where I ended up.
I wasn't trying to just make pars, because I figured there's some birdies out there, and the last thing you want to do is just go out there cruising and all of a sudden somebody catches you and it's tough to change gears at the time,
It wasn't the finish I wanted, but sometimes you just take what you've got. I was trying to make a few more birdies, but it didn't happen.
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.
