I am very proud of myself not to play in pain. I've been overcoming a lot of obstacles. I could have come in second. I would still be just as happy.

I wasn't worried, I was concerned. I was fighting back the tears. I wanted to get through one shot at a time. The tears were there before 18.

I never missed as many short putts as I have today. I don't know Terry-Jo at all. She played very well. I'm very happy for her.
