On the first tee I kept telling myself, "Trust yourself, you can do it."

I find it flattering to be compared to Tige

To play well you have to have good balance in your life. Tiger has found that. If you play golf long enough you'll learn that life is more than golf.

I love to crunch numbers. I look at how many fairways I hit, how many greens I hit. I plan my way around the golf course.

Ron Syriac, a golf writer and friend, was quoted as saying, "Annika is no longer a female golfer. She's a golfer." That's truly all I ever aspired to be.

I still get butterflies on the first tee. I still get sweaty hands, and my heart pumps a lot going down the 18th. But I know what winning is all about now, and that's a feeling that I like.

I think it’s important for me to play well and set the tone.
