We've been practicing and playing for more than five months. We told our guys at the beginning of the year that it was a marathon, not a sprint. Now, it's time to finish it. Our guys have been waiting all year for this.

This year, we had our slump in the beginning, and it's better to have in the beginning than at the end. I think we've been going uphill since, and we've been showing people that we can be a force come tournament time.

I'm very happy for Adrian. At the beginning of the year we told him, 'We're playing for you.' He's been here for five years, and he's put his heart and soul into the program. Without him, we would have been in trouble.

I've been told to do a job for the team... but I'm playing out of position and want to go up front.

I'm happy. My game is improving just by practicing every day. I'm better at playing in the heat. My driving and putting is better. Coach Shari (Lindsey) has taught me a lot. It's things I've never focused on before.

As well as he's playing, all five guys have to be locked into him. Nobody's going to take him one-on-one and prevent him from getting wherever he wants. He's too quick and too good. All five guys have to be in a position to help.
