It was an incredible shot. I think it's the shot of the week. Especially, I saw that Ai hit it so close and I knew she was going to make that putt.

After last year, I have world No. 1 and I had 12 wins and that pressure keep going on and on. I kind of drive my team crazy.

Of course, Yani is No. 1, so I knew it wouldn't be easy today. I kind of expected her to play that way.
