20 April 1997
I struggled the first 10 holes. I was very tense and couldn't play the course like I did yesterday. I probably hit only three or four fairways, but I finally got it going and got six in a row.

I had no idea Karrie had so many birdies. When I was on 17, I saw that she was leading and I was shocked because I hadn't seen her all day.

I didn't realize I was tied for second. I made a great putt on 16 -- a little sidewinder. I got really excited after that.
