The only thing I’m defending is my commitment to play one shot at a time, to stay patient and to respect this game. Let’s play with heart, respect the game and may the best score win. Let’s also compete hard, support each other and enjoy it. To my fellow ladies, hit it well, stay in the moment and let’s give this crowd and these sponsors a tournament to remember.
