You did start the final round fast. You had a birdie on 1, a birdie on 3, and you were the one kind of pulling away from these two mega stars, really, out there. How much extra confidence did that give you that this probably was going to be your day?
Believe me, I liked the cushion. Once I got there I kind of knew I had to keep holding on. If I was making pars, they had to make birdies to get me. I even kind of had a thought, okay, keep going, if they make mistakes, they do, they're not going to, but just keep plugging away and making pars. Would you say there was a pivot hole, I know you bogeyed 7 and came back and birdied 8.
How big was that? Bogey on 8. I had a really good putt. And then obviously with Annika birdieing that hole, I think it was important that I birdied 8. I think actually I would say , you know, the par on 10, it was a good par because I left myself quite a long put, and then a par on 11, they both bogeyed it, was more of a pistol point for me.
They probably thought those two were just playing against one another, but for me to hole that putt on 11 was big. How long was that putt? About four feet, but it doesn't matter. They're all tough out there. Janice, had you fairly big margin all day. When did you think, Okay, I've got this one? Coming down Not 15 or 16? Not really, I just kept -- we came onto 16 and I'm thinking these two can make eagle.
And I get up there and my second shot was in the desert, and it's covered in sand.
And all I could do was hack it out. So anything could have happened from there. And luckily I got it up and pin high. Watching television, watching you on the practice tee it, it looked like you were having fun all week.
Was it as much as fun as it looked like you were having? It was.
Playing with Laura the last couple of days was great. She's a lot of fun and that's how she plays golf. She goes out there and she's very good competitor, but obviously being from the same country, there's a couple of things going on.
We discussed the Solheim Cup. This that and the other. We just had a lot of fun out there. You mentioned in the awards ceremony she made a few wise cracks to loosen you up. Do you remember what they were? If I did, I couldn't tell you. We were just joking and laughing. She has a quick sense of humor. And Johnny has a great sense of humor, too. There were a couple of times out there yesterday that he got me laughing so hard he had to leave the putting green. If I looked at him I would have lost it.
That's the way I like to play golf and I think it's good because he keeps me loose and he's just a really good guy.
You played every tournament this year and you're signed up for next week's tournament. When are you going to take a break? I don't know. Right now I'm going to play in Corning. I actually signed up for it on Tuesday. My main goal before winning the tournament was to get into the Evian tournament that they have over in France. With that, I need to get Solheim Cup points because I need to play in enough tournaments, so I guess now I will definitely be in the Evian. But with me signing up on Tuesday, I'm not go to pull out. Janice, with having such a big cushion on the back nine, it might have been a little anticlimactic from the fan standpoint.
Do you prefer it that way, and would it have been a lot more difficult on you with them behind you if it had tightened up? What do you think? I like the cushion.
Sorry fans. Can you talk a little bit about what happened to Annika on 16?
Laura's question was she didn't know if it was going to be two bunkers or not, because you can have two separate bunkers, and she was like, she definitely hit the stand, and I didn't even see it. I genuinely didn't. It was unfortunate. I think Annika, in thinking about it now, is probably disappointed herself because she knows the rules to.
You talked about out there at the awards ceremony about winning a second one kind of proves that you can do it. Did you have any doubts these past couple of years that you would get the second one and how much -- how different does this one feel than the first victory? I never had any doubt. I mean I've come so close so many times.
Moodie had no trouble with the early tee time, posting birdies on holes 16 and 18 to move four strokes ahead of Davies and six strokes ahead of Sorenstam. Career Played in three events throughout It was great! Williams finished second at the U. What does that tell you as far as the respect the rest of them have for you? Sorenstam then bogeyed 17 and finished tied for third at
The British Open last year, second at Nabisco the year before. It's all timing.
