| Quotable | “You know what? Sue is a tough competitor and a fabulous golfer. Last year I honestly apologized to Sue for beating her because at this point in the game, when you've played 10 rounds in eight days you're both exhausted, you both worked hard, you both played well. I really had to not be distracted and just focus on my game. You don't get many opportunities to be in the finals of a USGA championship.” -- Lara Tennant |
