I definitely tried to be aggressive today. There were a lot of good players out there. It was pretty tight up the leaderboard, so, I mean, you really gotta shoot low in order to pull it off.

You know, my caddie, Brian, it's been good teamwork out there. He should get a lot credit for this win.

It really surprise me on the hole 13 when I look at the leaderboard and Anna already made two, three birdies and she was at 12. So that was not a good feeling.
