All I thought about on 18 was trying to keep at 10-under par. I was very nervous on 18. After I finished the 18th hole I was going for the playoff and I wasn't very nervous at all.

Next time I can (win). This is a very good chance, but I can do better next time. And I can do it step by step. I have confidence. I can do better.

Just told her 'Your swing is perfect, perfect.' I think she believed it and started hitting it better.
