Player of the year is the biggest award you can get. It means that you played consistent throughout the year and at the majors.

That's the way match play is. Annika just started picking it up on nine and she had three straight birdies and I think that was the key to victory.

I think I played very well. I missed one green and then did not make a lot of putts, but I felt like I hit the ball good and my putting was just on the edge on every hole.
