I'm glad I left that pin in. It was cruising pretty good. It got four feet away from the hole and I thought, `There's nowhere that ball is going but in.'

It started to feel like match play out there. We separated ourselves from the field. And Kellie is a great match-play player. She didn't win two U.S. Amateurs by accident.

It was a hell of a putt. There's no other way to say it. About five feet from the hole, I knew it was in.
