Meg Mallon Quotations

Working out isn't new for female golfers. It's just become more specialized, and you can see it through the change in the bodies of the players on tour now.

She's not part of our team room. She doesn't know what goes on there.

She's not a part of our team room. She doesn't know what goes on in there,

She has what separates the great players from the very good ones. She has the work ethic, and she loves the game and loves to compete.

She has no idea how far a persimmon wood can go off line.

My first Solheim was when we lost at Dalmahoy (in Scotland) in 1992,

I was first alternate in Hawaii, and I flew all the way out there because they said, oh, the first alternate always gets in. Flew all the way out to Hawaii. Didn't get in. Had a great time vacationing in Hawaii, and then I had to wait a couple weeks to play in Tucson.

I don't even look at it as a proper score.

There are so many good (rookies). Very confident. A lot of game. They're all starting to kind of find their feet.

I think this is the best thing Nancy's done, getting us out here to practice alternate shot. We've learned a lot of things today that ordinarily we wouldn't learn until early in tournament week.

Last week, I played with Kate Golden for the first time in a long time. When we finished, she said, 'Can I say something?' I said, 'Kate, fire away. Everyone else has.' And she mentioned something about my putting that made sense. The next day, I shot 66.

We need to find a way to win them coming down the stretch the last few holes. We need to get some momentum in the matches.

We thought that might be our last one. Now we have another chance.

There are about 50 examples. Almost every player that's come out here at 18, that's been out here at least 10 years, wish they hadn't. Most wish they would have gone to a little bit of college, ... It's not a game like football where your career is over at 25. You actually start getting better in your 30s.

When Michael Jordan first came out, they said all he can do is dunk and he doesn't win championships. So Michael Jordan went and perfected his jump shot and became one of the best in the game. That's what Annika does year in, year out; she finds her weaknesses and makes them better.

Betsy King has been retiring for 25 years. It's funny when golfers say that. When you start thinking about what else you can do, you realize there's nothing better than what we do.

I've always had a great time and this one is no different. When you are playing for your country and come together for the Solheim, it is a tremendous bonding experience.

It's been a frustrating year. Certainly the work and the effort have been there but I'm just not putting four solid rounds together. It's probably the longest I've ever gone in my career where I have not at least had a couple of successful tournaments.

It's become a business now. It's a money-making machine out there. I think you have to take advantage of your opportunities and promote yourself. I think they're doing a wonderful job, the younger players.

Oh, my goodness. Maybe I'm a little too old for this, but that was pretty exciting to have a putt like that,

It turns out I've had this for a very long time,

They just misdiagnosed it in my late teens as panic attacks. They said it's not uncommon, especially for women, that this condition has been misdiagnosed as panic attacks.

Once I won the Open, it just kind of released a lot of pressure, the pressure of winning a tournament in a year, winning another major, which I always set my goals for. Everything else certainly brough a different confidence level to it. I think Toledo was a terrific example of that.

I'm going to take the saddle and spurs off, and let Rosie have a rest.

I like seeing all those birdies. I hope we've got some left for this week.

I'm so proud. This European team was playing great golf and we had to play exceptional to beat them. What a match. What a great feeling this is.

Carolyn told us we can all form whatever opinion you want for the moment. But this girl is going to be good for you.
