Annika Sorenstam Played 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.

Naturally, I'm pleased with my season in many different ways and especially because I've played less tournaments and still won so much,

I don't know what to say about this round, ... I thought I played pretty good today. It just didn't go my way at all.

I'm a little disappointed about the outcome, ... It was so, so close. But the U.S. team played some great golf.

I finished with a birdie, so I think I'll leave this place with a smile, ... This was the first time I played here in the morning. The greens were a lot smoother and in great shape. It's too bad I had only four holes (to play Monday).

I finished good down the stretch today as I did Thursday. I must say I played well today, I couldn't really get it going at all. I had three three-putts, but it's funny because I feel like I'm putting well.

I don't want somebody to ask, 'How many tournaments did Annika Sorenstam win? I would rather they say she was a great athlete, she loved sportsmanship and she loved what she did. If they know my name, then they will know I played good golf.

To come here with high expectations to defend a title is always tough, but I thought I played really well and I'm very happy about that. This is a great event to start out the season.

I think I played really well today, very solid overall; lots of fairways, lots of greens. I was really never in any trouble.

I think I played really well this week, ... This is an elite field and I am competitive. I stepped up this week.

Last time I played I had to go 36 holes in one day which was a bit much. But I love playing in 72-hole tournaments and look forward to this event before the third major.

Natalie has played very, very consistent last year and then the first few tournaments this year.

I thought I played well today. I didn't score as well, but I had a lot of chances and am very happy with my game.

I thought I played really well all day,

I thought I played quite well today. I got off to a really good start. I'm a little disappointed in the end when it was getting so dark. I couldn't really read the greens for the last few holes.

That was local knowledge. If I had never seen that putt before, I wouldn't have played enough break.

Well, it has been a long day, but I'm happy with my score. I thought I played some good golf today. And it seemed once I made a birdie, I kept going with it.

This was the best I've played all week.

Throughout this season, we've played against each other and now it'll be great to team with her as a partner.

A little disappointed about the outcome - it was so close. The US team played some great golf.

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.

It's been a long day. A very long day. But I'm very happy with my score. I thought I played some good golf.

I walked up to the 14th hole and I said to Terry (McNamara, her caddie), this is one of those putts where I have local knowledge, ... I've been there before. If I would have just seen that putt for the first time, I wouldn't have played as much break.

I've had four weeks off, so I'm happy to be here. I'm ready to come back and play some tournaments. I am excited to get going again. I normally don't have four weeks off in the summer, but it just turned out to be that this year. I played in Europe three weeks and needed a long break.

I want to end this season the way I started. I played really well early on and I'd like to finish that way.

I'm not so disappointed. I think J.J. just played incredible. I think she would have been very hard to catch today. So my hat's off to her. She played excellent.

I'm very proud of the way I played and I played four solid rounds of golf,

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 played four solid rounds of golf and I want to try to finish the season as hot as the way I started it (three wins in a row).

I just try to mind my own game, hit one shot at a time and kind of stay in the present. I felt she played pretty good today. it was quite some good golf I thought in the group, very consistent throughout.

He played aggressive. It was great to see. I loved playing with these guys.
