Quotes by Morgan Pressel
I can't wait for the season to start, to be able to fully compete and be a part of the rookie race.
I don't think Mina missed a fairway or a green until her drive on the playoff hole. We were making putts one on top of the other. The quality of golf was something you'd see in a final.
Because many of us have won at different levels, and we just come out with a confidence that in time we'll learn how to win out here. It's a confidence factor we've been taught since we were kids.
I just started to make more putts and just hit shots closer to the hole and give away less and less shots as the week went on.
I guess the first thing I've heard all week from some of my teammates is, 'I'm going to be so nervous,' ... I'm like, 'Don't be nervous; it's not worth getting nervous about. We're just going to go out and have fun and hit some good shots.'
I had definitely put myself, if not back into it, at least somewhere better than I was. I threw two shots away, anyway you look at it.
I know how to play golf. People look at age as something that should set me back, but I don't think it does.
I have two more days to fight my way back to somewhere in the tournament. Let's see if I can come out firing tomorrow, which is what I'm going to have to do.
