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.
biggest goal prepare step tournament trying win
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.

The course is playing a lot longer today and the wind is difficult to judge, but on the other hand I didn't make a single putt,
course excellent golf luckily meant needed played seemed shaping tough win
Luckily I had a little cushion, and at the end it seemed like I needed it, ... For me, a win is a win. I thought I played excellent the first two days. It's a tough golf course and a lot of things are shaping up for the end of year. So this meant a lot to me.

I'm more than pleased, ... I feel great. I wouldn't use the word relieved, but this means so much to me to win this championship.
course experience firm great honor simply start tough wind
This course is long for me to start with, and you put some wind and some firm greens, it made it really tough for me to get it close. It's an honor simply to come here. This is a great experience for me.
fifth money opportunity prove reach tournament win
Honestly, I didn't feel like I'm here to prove anything. I know where I am on the money list. I'm here to reach my own goals, play my own golf. I see this as an opportunity to win this tournament for the fifth time.
break coach event finish next nice played ready saw second seems trip wind
It seems like I get my second wind by the end of the year. I've had a nice little break after my trip to Europe. I played one event and I saw my coach the next week, so I feel like I'm ready to finish strong. I really do.
certain cold conditions forward greens holes looking morning pin sure today tricky warm wind
I really didn't know what to expect, ... It's tricky on certain holes and the greens have a lot of different pin possibilities. There was wind yesterday, and today there was no wind. I'm sure we can get a lot of different conditions - it was a little cold this morning and warm in the afternoon. I'm looking forward to it.

It is harder for us to win in America. But we have a good team, a good spirit and I think we have a great chance.
break game key matter time trust winning
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.
ball coming difficulty felt good hitting picked scoring start wind
I felt good coming into the round. I was hitting the ball really well. I didn't really get off to the start I had in mind. I had difficulty scoring and then on the back nine, the wind picked up and it got really difficult.
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,
