Just like in the men's tour, the gallery loves to see the long hitters. But there's so many good players out here, it's just a matter of who's got the hot putter. I guess this weekend I did.

I definitely think that was the turning point. Instead of going in at 1-over, I finished at 1-under after not playing well. That hole was definitely a big booster.
