It feels great to be a winner on the LPGA Tour. It's wicked to do it at 20. It's fun.

I have this swing, 'strawberry mousse.' My swing goes back to 'strawberry,' and comes down to 'mousse,' a bit faster. My dad used to say it to me when I was 2 years old to get my rhythm.

I didn't really mis-hit the shot. That's the shot I wanted to hit and I did it. Unfortunately, the wind stopped. I feel like God did it.
