['] She always wants to be on top, ... Now she's definitely got more motivation. |
[For now, she's busy preparing for her title defence in the LPGA State Farm Classic and next week's stressful Solheim Cup matches.] This is my third week in a row and then Solheim will be my fourth ... I have a couple of weeks off after that, ... I'm a little bit tired right now, but I'm going to go probably back today and take a nap and get ready to play and compete. |
Absolutely. I don't really like that I got passed on the money list. But it's all in good fun and I've got to work that much harder to keep up with her. |
Annika is definitely going to be motivated by all this. She's enjoyed her position of being on the top of the rankings. Her wanting to be No. 1 in the world is not going to change, but there's going to be a lot more challenges. |
Even if you don't agree with it 100 percent, you've got to support it. If it's going to help our tour that much, it will be good for everybody. |
Everybody was slow today. We were waiting almost on every shot, especially on the last hole. And on the last putt, you want to take a little bit more time, make sure you give it your best effort on the last hole. So I'm sure we were a little slower today, but generally I'm not a slow player. |
For some reason, she is the chosen one. People just want to turn on the TV and watch, and that's good for the rest of us. She's just got this aura around her that makes people want to pay attention. |
Forget the win for a second, ... I'm excited about how our team is going into the Solheim. We're looking for each other on the leaderboards. |

I am in the role of trying to be a part of this team and not trying to stand out as an individual. |
I bogeyed the first two holes, but I didn't play as badly as I scored, ... I had a 20-footer for par on 11 and it lipped out. But after that, it was pretty magical. |
I certainly wasn't going to take a club shorter and be short. That was about as big a putt as you can make to save par. It counted the same as a birdie almost. |
I definitely think there is a great chemistry within our team this year, |
I did everything I could do and tried as hard as I could. In light of how I putted, I guess second place will do. |
I didn't hit it well but I still managed to shoot 2-under, which I think is a testament to how well I've been playing recently. |
