I saw her score that she made birdie on 16 and 17. So after that I said to myself, okay, I need to one more swing and I need to one more good putt.

Last couple weeks I had -- I mean it's not "Big Break," but I started thinking about the world rank, because Jiyai had surgery last week and everyone kept asking about how close to being No. 1 you are.

I play with her in Sybase Match Play, second round. She's just gorgeous. She hits straight and has good putts, so I think she play really simple.
