Annika Sorenstam Course Quotations

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.

Obviously the course was playing very different from the practice round. The par-fives you can reach in two all of a sudden you're having trouble reaching in three.

Obviously, endurance is going to play a role, there's no doubt about it. It's a hilly course and you've got to be in good shape, especially if the temperatures are up there. If we get the humidity, it could be quite tough. Having said that, I'm glad that I've been working out the last few years.

To finish birdie-birdie on this course -- two difficult holes -- was promising for tomorrow. Compared to yesterday, this was quite an improvement.

I actually had to look twice. I was wondering what course she was playing. That's an incredible score.

I talked to Mr. Trump, ... and he thinks it's the best course on the West Coast.

I thought yesterday was a long day, one of the longest days on the golf course. It's really hard to stay focused, especially on a course like this.

We had to look twice. We didn't know if she was on her 10th hole or she was 10 under. This golf course is not easy. She made it look easy.

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.

It's really a ball-striking type of course and that's my strategy. I want to continue to do what I'm doing. I'll play my own game (Sunday) and see what happens.

I'm excited to be here. It's great to be back as a defending champion. I think the golf course is in as good shape as I've ever seen it. I think that makes it even more special. I think I'm as ready as I can be.

I had the chance to do something today that nobody else has done, so of course I felt some pressure all week, ... That is what motivates me. That is why I play this game. To come here and do something like this, it's just very gratifying.

I'm happy to be back in Ohio. This state has been very good to me. And my first impression is the course is a good one. You really can hit the ball well here, I think.

I'm competitive and yeah, I was very disappointed in the way I played on Sunday. I played really good for three days and I made a few mistakes down the stretch. Of course I was disappointed in myself and wished things would have been a little different. This gives me a little bit more fire and maybe that's what I need for the rest of the season.

I prefer walking, but then again this course is very tough to walk. I think using carts was the right thing to do. I think it will speed up play. At the beginning it was tough to get your rhythm. Normally, you have the bag there and you grab a club. Now, you have to find a new system with your caddie. ... For the first six or seven holes, I couldn't really find a rhythm, but then in the end it was fine.

I prefer walking, but then again, this course is very tough to walk.

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,

The first time I saw (the 10 under) was on my sixth hole when I saw she was 10 under. I actually had to look twice. I thought she was on the 10th hole. What can I say, it was a fantastic round. This golf course is not easy.
