seen takes win
I've seen it and I know what it takes to win on this course.
learn opportunity provided
My parents have always been there to really support anything I wanted to do or learn - they provided the opportunity for me. I was very blessed in that sense.
contention goal player
By the end of the year, I do want to be the No. 1 player in the world. That's a goal of mine. I want to be in contention every week.
beginning birdie chances days felt four gave hole inches rhythm
I never really got a rhythm going from the beginning. I gave myself chances to make birdie and it never really happened. It was just one of those days where the hole wasn't four inches - it felt like two inches.
beginning birdie chances days felt four gave hole inches rhythm
I never really got a rhythm going from the beginning, ... I gave myself chances to make birdie and it never really happened. It was just one of those days where the hole wasn't four inches -- it felt like two inches.
course golf hit
I didn't hit a lot of fairways. And there were times when I didn't feel as if I was on a golf course out there.
fit grew lined small type
I've always - I grew up on the old-style traditional type of golf course, tree lined and all small greens, big undulations. And Oakmont just fit my eye.
living women
There is so much I want to do in women's golf, and I'm living my dream.
dinner etiquette harder learn women
There is etiquette in golf, but it's not any harder to learn than what to do at a dinner party. Actually, it's probably easier. And these days, there are a lot more women out there than there used to be. It's not like when I was young. I was always the only girl on the range.
equal love
I love to win. But probably equal to that - I love doing what I do.

We were really hot on the front nine but the back nine - we played it one over - was really frustrating because we gave ourselves a ton of birdie opportunities but couldn't convert.

We are a global sport. I mean, golf is obviously played all around the world. But when you have your National Championship, of course, everybody in America is rooting for an American.

Tomorrow it will be like everybody's starting out at zero, ... I'll aim to get the lead as big as possible as quickly as possible.
anywhere ball course demanding either golf good great hit huge natalie shots test
There is a huge difference, especially in the rough. The ball either sits up or sits down and have to hit a 58-degree wedge out. It is just one of those things. Like Natalie said, it is a great golf course and a very good test of golf. You are going to have to hit demanding shots out there. You can't just hit it anywhere and you have to be on your A game.
