I wasn't going to give it to anyone, they had to come after it to get the win or a playoff.

I am very thrilled actually and really proud that I hung in there. After I bogeyed and Michelle made a birdie for a two-shot lead I told myself to believe in myself.

I'm getting very close. Today was the closest I've ever been. It's not as easy as it would seem.
