It's amazing to win. I played really solidly all week. I stayed in the moment in the final and handled my nerves.

I was saying to my parents last week I've got to do the qualifying for the Women's British Open but I'm in now so how cool is that?
The R&A

I gave it everything. I left it all out there which is all I can ask for. I'm really proud of the way I played. It's been an amazing week.
