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

You win one and then you win another. You feel more comfortable and more confident, and it snowballs. You can't wait to get to the next hole and play better.

Whenever you're in a position to win, you don't want to let it go.

The people who know me, the people who see the passion I have for this game and the respect for it, they know that I don't cut any corners in the way I approach golf.

I have a lot of friends, in and out of golf, and there is a mutual trust. I'm very serious at the course. Maybe if I joked around more around the press tent, your image of me would be different. But that's not me. And the golf course is my office. If I come up to you when you're writing a story, are you going to drop everything to talk? Or are you going to say you're too busy doing your job?

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

The more they made noise, the more calm I became.
