I felt that I struck the ball much better today and I hit a few more fairways, the less time you spend in the rough the better. I feel I was able to control my shots and I have an idea where the ball was going to go, which especially around a course like this it’s good to have that.

I'm just going to look at it as any other four-day event and just have fun out there and hopefully play some good golf.

It's been a long season of ups and downs as well, mainly ups, but I think every emotion went through me today, what triggered the tears more is what a tough day it was.

At the start of the week, I would say the biggest trophy that would mean a lot to me would be the Rolex Player of the Year.

I don't think about the rankings or if one birdie is going to put me a couple shots in front of her, i feel very fortunate that there is a great competitor like her where I can work harder and be as good as her or get to that ranking.

It's been a great birthday week again, this week I hit the ball really well and it definitely makes this course a lot easier.

I'm tired. A little bit jet-lagged because of the long flight but I've been trying to pace Lydia Ko, go nine holes and do the least amount of practice, i think just this week, the heat is definitely going to get to me, so I'm just going to try and cool down.

You hit in on to the green and you have this humongous break, it's tough in every aspect ... it does feel like a major.

That anger led me to hit an aggressive drive on the 15th, i was so upset from the hole before that I gambled.

It's a tough course and I tried to stay patient, i didn't hole that many putts but I didn't make that many mistakes with it either, so that's important.

I've got a golf scholarship for school, so they understand if I'm away. A couple of years ago they called to see why I wasn't at school, and now they're like, 'oh, she's at golf.' Sometimes I'm in class and sometimes the teachers don't realize I'm there. She goes, 'oh, Lydia's absent.' And I'm like 'no, actually, I'm here.'

Ever since they announced that golf would be returning to the Olympics, I thought, 'Hey, I wanna get myself on the team.' It has always been my dream.

It's important for me to understand more about my swing and my game, no matter who I end up working with.

When I was getting overly 'droppy,' that's when I was hitting shots left and right. That's what we were doing, so maybe if my swing was a touch flatter, I wouldn't drop the club as much.

I feel like there are a lot of positives in my swing. I'm really going to work around the rhythm of my swing, being able to keep my rhythm and being more consistent. Consistency is what I'm looking for, performance-wise.

The best cure for a double-bogey is a toffee, or sugar - any type... by Lydia Ko

The best cure for a double-bogey is a toffee, or sugar - any type of sugar; I love my chocolate.
