Annika Sorenstam Shot Quotations

I think just playing aggressive helped me today. I hit a lot of shots close and took advantage of the par-fives.

It makes you hit every shot in the bag. For me, I come in with the mindset that I have to play well.

I wanted to get close to the pin without putting the bunker in play. All of a sudden he just kept talking about a straight shot. I don't know how many times you hit a straight shot in golf. It's very seldom. You either work it right to left or left to right, depending on the pin.

My front 9 was not very pretty. I hit some great iron shots, but my tee shots were not that great.

Yesterday I walked off feeling I'd left some shots out there,

I feel like I can find five shots today and probably five shots every day (to shave off her score). That's the way I look at things. I try to make a perfect round. I left a lot of strokes out there.

I finished good down the stretch today, as I did yesterday. (On No. 18), I had to get it up and hope it landed softly. I've been working a lot on my bunker shots this winter, so I feel good about it. ... It would have been really hard if I were in the rough. I was glad I was in the bunker.

I was lucky. I was able to take a full back swing. I had an 8-iron, a perfect club, the ball went through the trees and on to the green. It was one of those shots that I probably will never forget.

Winning the LPGA Championship was very satisfying, especially considering the shot I made over the trees on the 16th.

I really did not play very well today unfortunately, ... I hit a few bad shots and it was a tough day at the office really.

The momentum is not there. I hit a lot of good shots, but my good shots don't get close.

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.

I don't really look at how many shots I'm ahead or behind tomorrow,

I love the challenge and I love coming down the stretch and making the shots you need to, ... It's just the extra excitement, knowing there are just a few holes left and having to hit the perfect shot. That's when all my adrenaline starts kicking in, on the back nine because that's when it matters.

I really pulled out some clutch shots when I needed to. That's why I love doing this. Coming down the stretch and hitting those shots, there's nothing better.
