A brand-new event coming in at $2.5 million -- we're pretty excited. The hospitality has been great, and the course was in great shape as well. I hope this is a long-term deal. I think it will be the start of a great relationship. |

Annika believes in herself 110 percent. I'm not quite there on the golf course. I'm hitting shots even I can't believe I'm hitting now. I don't think there's much difference between her and I. She hits it farther than me now, but I think I've got more shots in my bag than she does. But she's just so strong mentally and obviously riding a big wave of confidence. |
I feel like I'm good enough to play as good as I did five or six years ago. But I think the difference is now that I might really enjoy it — not that I never appreciated — I just didn't understand how good I was playing. Now if I get that form going, I think I'll really enjoy it. |
I feel pretty lucky to be here. [This victory] is definitely one in 30, 40 years when I'm thinking about my career, it's definitely one that's going to stick out in my memory. |
I knew I needed to make birdie. I think I nearly had a heart attack when it went in. |
I missed a five-foot putt on 17 which should have got me to two-under and put me on the leader board, but (otherwise) I'm happy. |
I only had 130 yards in to the flag and so to miss the green and make bogey really does leave me feeling really disappointed. |
I only wanted to get it close for a birdie. It was nice I didn't have to putt it. |
I really made some good putts on the front nine and hung tough on the back. I had plenty of chances. I'm glad I didn't have to make a putt on the last, just put it in the hole. |
I stayed really patient. My ball-striking was a lot better. |
I think it's extremely hard to hold that large of a lead for three days. There's probably more pressure than the players chasing. |
I think my heart just about jumped out of my chest, because it was aching for five minutes. |
I thought, 'I can't believe I have to play a hole after doing that. It took me 15 minutes to calm down. |
I understand that it is going to create a lot of interest, and that's great, ... I appreciate why we have to do some of those things. But I just think it's sad that the game of golf can't be appreciated for the way it's played and how tough it is physically and mentally to play four rounds of a golf tournament. |
