I learned that round four of a major is really not too much different than rounds one through three. I didn't keep to my game plan in the '08 U.S. Women's Open for the final round. That won't happen again!

Every woman should recruit a female friend to take up golf so there will be more women available to play.

I think about what I've accomplished and my career. I care about how many wins I have and whether I'm accomplishing my goals.

My job is what millions of people do for recreation. How can you not like that?

My main goal is to be the No. 1 American and the No. 1 player in the world. If an American is on top of the leader board every week, it will bring more people into the game of golf.

I want to be a role model and I want to show kids that you can be strong and overcome adversity.

Being nervous is not something you should be ashamed of. Nervous means you care, you really want to do well.

I take being a role model very seriously.

There is etiquette in golf, but it's not any harder to learn than what to do at a dinner party. Actually, it's probably easier. And these days, there are a lot more women out there than there used to be. It's not like when I was young. I was always the only girl on the range.

An American champion, obviously being here in the states, is something that we all look at with the U.S. Open. But golf is played all over the world, and there are so many great golfers from other countries, and we're lucky enough that this is our home base to be able to play out of.

I'm getting more and more comfortable out on the golf course with the changes I've been making. It's really just a confidence thing in that I love being in contention.

I love to win. But probably equal to that - I love doing what I do.
