I was just trying to play my own game. I wanted to be aggressive, but I also tried to be safe. I played very solid and I putted extremely well today.

It's been a long year for me. (The victory) makes me proud and happy. It's always nice to win near the end of the year.

I hit enough good shots to put the heat on Liselotte. I just kept driving, thinking I could birdie four or five times and get closer. My hat's off to her -- she rolled the putts like a real champion.
