Q: The women’s game spans the length and breadth of the globe, so how important do you think Asian tournaments like the Honda LPGA Thailand are to all of the great work the LPGA does?
A: The Tour is so global and I think it’s really cool that we get to play over in Asia and especially in Thailand – having the event there has helped produce so many great Thai women players. It has really inspired the next generation of Thailand golf by just having the LPGA Tour event and they can come watch and see us play (when there are no restrictions) which I think is awesome. But just how global the Tour is, I think it’s really important that we get to travel as much as we do and compete in different areas and regions.
Q: It is often said that the pressures are monumental for the leading players on the LPGA Tour, but just how intense is it out there and how do you manage it?
A: I think the pressure – you can see it as a privilege. If you have pressure on you, it usually means you’re doing something right and often that would mean that you would be in contention. Whenever you feel that pressure, you have an opportunity to do something great and I just try to embrace it as much as I possibly can. You know, some weeks it works great and some weeks it gets to me a little bit, but it’s always a learning process and we try to learn to deal with those high intensity moments.
