I can honestly say that in my time in America, I have not encountered any racism. When Jim Thorpe and I make fun of each other on the range, or even when a white player makes a joke about my color, I take it as what it is-a joke-and give it back accordingly.

It's like getting the Williams sisters to play (tennis) against a man, and they're far better athletes than she (Sorenstam) is.

I have this reputation of not wanting to talk to the media, which isn't true. What I don't like-what a lot of us don't understand-is how we can say one thing and it turns up in print as something else.

It never really crossed my mind that I was ever going to win a major. I always said that if you win a major, that's fine. If you don't, you tried your best.

I'm playing pretty good now, but my ranking doesn't say that. I'm number two.

I'm going to go out and play really hard. If I have another win, it will be icing on the cake. But I don't take anything for granted.

Golf is a passion that will stay with me forever. That's all I know.
