Scotland’s Catriona Matthew

Home-grown talent, Catriona Matthew
Q. Thank you very much for coming. Ladies and gentlemen, Catriona Matthew from Scotland. You won as an amateur here in the 90s, and you know this course very well, how does the course today compare?
Matthew: I think obviously the course is just the same. We're just playing from further back now. Hopefully I hit it a little further now. Yeah, it's just different tees really. I don't think they have changed this course much over the years.

Q. You've been out for a practise round today. Very tough I would imagine.
Matthew: Yeah I played this morning. This is probably one of the toughest winds because it's a crosswind left to right going out and right to left coming in. You know, it makes all of the holes pretty tough. There's not many where you're just straight into the wind or straight down.

Q. What does it mean to you as a Scot to be playing the British here at St. Andrews?
Matthew: It's fantastic. Obviously to be here at St. Andrews of course I played well in Scotland, hopefully I can play well here.

Q. When was it you played here before?
Matthew: (trying to remember)

Q. 1993 and 1994…
Matthew: Just what I was going to say.

Q. Have players asked you much about the course?
Matthew: Maybe not so much about the course. Just, you know, places to say and what it's like and everyone's just been exceeded to come here, kind of the home of golf and obviously watched the men play here over the years.

Q. Anybody ask you about the weather?
Matthew: Just what it could be like. I said anything. Bring shorts, trousers, waterproofs.

Q. You grew up playing links golf. Any reason why you haven't played well on links courses in this Championship?
Matthew: No, I mean, there hasn't really. Like you say, I grew up on links courses. Played obviously well as an amateur on them but turned pro and can't play in them anymore. But no, yeah, I don't know why I haven't played well. No reason why I shouldn't be playing well this week, so hopefully I can go and do it in the tournament.

Q. Could your lack of success be down to pressure?
Matthew: It might be. Obviously, yeah, there's a little more pressure playing at hole and having more people play here, watching and you things. Yeah, like you say, I can't really put my finger on why I haven't done better than I have in the British. Done well in the other majors but haven't done particularly well in this one. Maybe this week I can change that.

Q. Do you play much links golf when you are back here in Scotland in the winter?
Matthew: No, not really, not a whole lot. Come back and kind of have a break. I'm fair weather golf in the winter now.

Q. If the weather stays like this, what sort of score do you see winning this week?
Matthew: I think if it stays as windy as this, if you're roundabout even par, I'd take that right now.

Q. What's the lowest score you've ever had here?
Matthew: I think I may be had a 67 but that was obviously, you know, from different tees.

Q. This week the 17th is a par 5. Do you think it should be a par 4 like the men play?
Matthew: I don't really think it makes that much difference what the par on the hole is. I actually had kind of forgotten when I played it today that it was a par 5.

Q. What did you make?
Matthew: Well, it's just a score. You're just trying to get a score really. Really I don't think it makes much difference. It's just the number that's on the scorecard.

Q. How is your daughter this week?
Matthew: Yeah, she's sleeping pretty well, just getting some teeth, so a little grumpier, but she's still sleeping well.

Q. She's here with you?
Matthew: Yes, she is.

Q. What to you are the most memorable parts of the Old Course?
Matthew: I think obviously 1 and 18, teeing off in front of the clubhouse and coming up 18. It doesn't even matter if there's a tournament on, there's always people there watching and things. I think 1, 18 and 17, kind of three, really, you know you are at St. Andrews.

Q. Have you been in the R & A clubhouse before this week?
Matthew: Yes, I have been, actually. You're allowed in at St. Andrews, aren't you? Came through yeah, I think ladies are allowed in. Obviously it's nice to go in there. I registered in there. I actually haven't been to the locker room yet. Yeah, I mean, it's lovely to use it.

Q. How historic is it having an LPGA event here?
Matthew: Obviously it's great having the ladies playing here. I think everyone's obviously really looking forward to playing this week. I don't know if it's historic. There was no reason why we couldn't come and play here. It's not a men only course. So, yes, I'm looking forward to it.

Q. Do you see it as a breakthrough for ladies golf?
Matthew: No, I really don't think it's a breakthrough. There's really no issue at this course. Ladies play on it and have just as many rights as the men, so it's really no big deal.

Q. Are you surprised it took so long to play a women’s event here?
Matthew: A professional one, yeah, I think obviously when the British started going to Woburn and going around to more Open courses, there was always the chance that it might come here. I think it's just great that they decided to bring it here.

Q. Do you think St Andrews is now too easy for the top men players?
Matthew: I don't think so. I think all links courses, it's just the wind. The last couple of times I think they have played here, the weather has been perfect. Uncanny on links courses, with wind, doesn't matter if you're not playing well. If you go out there today, it's certainly a test.

Q. Why do you think there have not been more successful lady golfers from Britain?
Matthew: I don't know. That's a good question. Yeah, obviously just I don't know whether it just goes in cycles or what. I don't know what they do in Korea; there must be something in the water there. Yeah, I really don't know why there are not more lady professionals from Britain. Certainly when I turned pro, obviously Janice and Laura were behind me and they both turned pro, and yeah, there really has not done anybody who has done overly well since then. You've got a few coming up now, Scottish players certainly, Claire queen man, and there's a couple of amateurs that are probably going to do well. Yeah, I can't really explain why there are not more.

Q. Did you ever play here?
Matthew: No, because I think I knew I wasn't allowed in, so I never tried.

Q. Is it difficult to watch Michele Wie struggling like she is at the moment?
Matthew: Yeah, you hate to see anyone struggle like that. Obviously she's got played with her a lot in the past. She's got all the talent, got all the shots. Maybe just a little bit of lack of confidence. I haven't really seen her play this year. But maybe it's just the lack of confidence maybe just from having some bad scores. It's amazing how it kind of filters through the game. I'm sure she'll get it back.

Steinhauer – defending champion

Defending champion, Sherri Steinhauer
Q. Sherri, welcome back. How does it feel to be here as defending champion here at St. Andrews?
Steinhauer: It's an amazing feeling to come here to the home of golf. I have to say, I've just been in awe of the golf course and the city, and the aura is really magnificent here.

Q. Have you ever been here in your life before?
Steinhauer: Never.

Q. Was the course as you expected it to be?
Steinhauer: I think it's always different from what you see on TV. To actually be on it and see that, really, a lot of the shots are blind shots and being here is completely different than watching it on TV. Everybody who plays golf, everybody should come here at some point.

Q. Did it live up to your expectations?
Steinhauer: Oh, yeah. You know, the links style golf that I played over here before at Royal Lytham, it is really with the wind, you've got to hit the ball low, run it up. You know, it's just your true links style type golf course, and it's so different than back in the United States. It's a whole different type of golf game, and one that I just really, really enjoy because of the imagination that you have to use to play the golf course.

Q. Do you find it intimidating?
Steinhauer: Would I find it intimidating, yeah, but I have to say that yesterday, I hired a local caddie and went out there with my caddie and a local who has worked here for nine years. He was just a tremendous help just pointing out so many different things; that there's no way I would have grasped how to play the golf course on my own. So just hearing it from experience from someone who just completely knows the golf course and has seen it in every well, as he says, every day is different. It's never the same out there. But he's seen it in so many different conditions; that was a huge, huge help.

Q. What is the local helping with specifically?
Steinhauer: Yeah, he was basically giving targets. There's a number of different ways that you can approach the golf course. So he was giving me the different schools of thought of ways to approach it. He wasn't saying, you know, this hole you have to play like this or you have to play like this. He goes: Now, here are the conditions, if the wind is doing this, you can do this. You know, some people on this hole, some people like to play down here, some people like to go over here. It's what fits your eye. And that was very, very helpful.

Q. Will you use him to caddie for you all week?
Steinhauer: No. I just used him for just the practise round, and I'll have my regular tour caddie caddie for me the rest of the week.

Q. Quite a few of the girls have been taking out local caddies to practise, haven't they?
Steinhauer: Yeah, I think just never being here, and because we have such limited time to prepare, it's definitely beneficial.

Q. Have you ever been to Scotland before?
Steinhauer: I've been to Edinburgh, but that's it. I've never been here to St. Andrews.

Q. Is there anything you recognise, any landmarks or anything you've remember seeing on
TV?
Steinhauer: Probably Tiger's win last year. He just played flawlessly. It was just a brilliant round of golf and he stayed out of trouble. He makes it look really easy, and I know it's not easy out there.

Q. What about the history of St. Andrews?
Steinhauer: I guess, you know, when you walk across the bridge, you think of Jack Nicklaus posing for the picture. You think of Tom Morris, the history; it's just hard to describe the feeling. It's a surreal feeling being out there and knowing that you're walking the fairways that all of the greats from the past have walked.

Q. From what you've seen so far
Steinhauer: I think it's hard to compare because there's just nothing you know, there's golf courses all over the world that people try to they try to copy and make a links style course, but this ground has been here forever and you just cannot recreate something that they haven't made changes to. Maybe they have, you know, changed the sides of the bunkers or whatever, but the lay of the land is what it was when golf started and, you know, the subtly, changes that have happened. But you can't recreate this golf course. In that respect, knowing that how old it is, it is a great, great golf course.
Q. From your reaction, you have not quite
Steinhauer: Absolutely. The players have been talking about it ever since that it was announced that we were going to be playing here in 2007. I know from players that weren't planning on playing even golf this year, but they said, "I'm going to St. Andrews," and not going to miss that opportunity. There has been a buzz for quite some time.

Q. How do you feel about playing a links course?
Steinhauer: You know, the difference is that you're playing a running game. You're hitting it low, with the wind you're hitting it low and you're bumping it up. In the States we don't play like that. But that's the only way that I'm changing is probably making a shorter swing and using a lot of imagination and rolling it up. Like I said, that's not how we play in the United States. But that's what I believe you have to do over here.

Q. Were you surprised at your victory last year?
Steinhauer: Was I surprised at my victory last year? Yeah, I guess it had not been since 2004, I had not won since. But going back to Royal Lytham brought back great memories and I guess those carried over and I came out on top in the end. But if you say I'm surprised by, you know I've been out here a long time, and you expect to do well every week. Obviously when you win, it's a great feeling. I don't know that I was surprised. Not that I mean, there's a lot of great there's a lot of great players out here, and to beat all of them is truly a wonderful, wonderful feeling.

Ai Miyazato
Q. Thank you for coming in and joining us. You're playing well recently and you're at the Old Course here at St. Andrews. Have you had a chance to go out and play the course yet?
Miyazato: Only today.

Q: What were your thoughts on the course?
Miyazato: It's just an amazing place. I can feel the history and this golf course is tough. But, well, everything is really fun for me. So it's great, just great.

Q. What history did you know about the course?
Miyazato: That's a good question. Just about the organisation before, about the formation of the R&A, that was formed about 340 years ago. I heard about that, but other than that, nothing in particular.

Q. Back in Japan you were under a lot of pressure to win, do you feel that it's affecting your performance?
Miyazato: No, I don't feel any pressure at all. I actually like the pressure. And I don't think even if I do, I don't feel that relates to me playing negatively or badly. And I also want to think positively about those kind of feelings that I get, and make it into a good makes me concentrate on the situation a little bit better.

Q. How does this course fit you?
Miyazato: I think you can play the course in many ways, and it suits many types of golfers.

Q. Have you been in any bunkers or anything that you recognise as landmarks?
Miyazato: I especially remember about two years ago when the men's Open was held here and when Jack Nicklaus retired at this tournament at this golf course; and I also know about Tommy Nakajima, what he did in that Tommy Bunker, I guess is what they call it. So those are some of the particulars. I don't know the other particulars of each of the other holes.

Q. Did you drop a ball in the bunker today?
Miyazato: Yes, I did.

Q. Did you get out?
Miyazato: Yes.

Q. In one shot?
Miyazato: Actually twice. (Laughing).

Q. Were there any surprises for you on the course? When you first saw the first hole, were you surprised at the shape of the hole?
Miyazato: I noticed that there's no real difference between the fairway and where the green starts, as well as on each of the tee boxes, I can't really see the fairway. I thought that was different but fun.

Q. The wind here is not like you've seen in Japan; how do you play it?
Miyazato: I've always felt that I'm a pretty good low ball hitter, so I don't think I need to make any particular changes. And I also feel that shots from 50 yards from the green, I really feel like the wind will have a big effect on those kind of shots. So maybe I'll have to do a little bit of 80 yard shots that roll on the ground on the fairway. So I feel like I do need to be able to to be more careful around the greens instead of just trying to hit the fairways all the time.

Wie – ‘honoured’ to play at St Andrews

Michelle Wie
Q. Michelle, welcome to the home of golf. Sorry it's so cold today. I understand you played the course today. What were your initial thoughts?
Wie: You know, it's so lovely. It's the greatest honour being able to play here. Just watching it on TV and actually playing it is completely different. You know, when you're watching it on TV, everything seems like it's straight in front of you. Everything looks like, 'oh, this looks like a straight course, a lot of bunkers,' but it's just so different when you play it. I never realised that almost every shot on the front nine is a blind tee shot.
I had my caddie and David everyone telling me to hit it that way and that way. I'm like, "What, hit it down the middle, hit it down this fairway, hit it down another fairway?" It's the most interesting golf course I've ever played. You have these golf courses and the first time where you actually aim to hit it in another fairway well, this year, I've been doing it on accident but now I've been doing it on purpose (giggling). It's just really interesting. And the greens, they are very strange and interesting. The ledges, there's like Mt. Everest on the greens, basically, and you have to putt from like 50 yards away from the greens. It's just so amazing. It's just breathtaking and it's quickly become almost one of my favourite golf courses. It's so interesting.

Q. What do you know from what you've watched on television?
Wie: Well, I've seen obviously Tiger play here. He made the golf course seem like a real easy golf course.
But my goal is to play like him this week, not to hit it in any of the pot bunkers for all four days, and that is the way to play this golf course. If you hit in a pot bunker you have to chip out, you have to like blast it out.
I've seen John Daly play here, and obviously, you know, seeing people tee off, walking over the bridge; obviously seeing Jack Nicklaus and him waving over the bridge, which I imitated after walking home from dinner. But it's just really cool, actually seeing them play here, but like I said, it's completely different playing it.

Q. What will you do for your tee shots this week?
Wie: Yeah, there's a lot of you know, using a lot of drivers, using a lot of hybrids. Obviously depends how the wind blows, because it changes, even during the day and even during the round. It depends how the wind blows, but definitely my main goal is to avoid the bunkers.

Q. Is it intimidating?
Wie: I guess it's intimidating because there's so much history on it. I mean, it's the golf course; so it's intimidating where you're actually playing, like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm actually playing here. It's like you can't believe it. But when you're actually on the golf course, you're so intrigued by it, that I actually don't it is a very tough golf course. But I feel like there's so many ways to play it that you just have to use your imagination and creativity. And it brings out so much more out of you than playing, just hit the fairway, land it all the way to the hole where you have to like chip it around and hit around the boulders, hit around the hills and miss the pot bunkers. It's really exciting.

Q. Some of the other players have been using local caddies in practise rounds this week. Have you done the same?
Wie: You know, my caddie has played here before for the British for one of the tournaments that they played here; I forgot which one. David Leadbetter, my coach, has obviously taught a lot of the players that won here, like Nick Faldo and a lot of the great players like Ernie and them. So he obviously knows where to go. And like today, he was telling them to hit the ball, my tee shot in all of these places and I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. But actually when I got there, it was like the place to be. So you just have to really trust your lines and trust your caddies this week.

Q. What is your caddie's name?
Wie: David Clark.

Q. How is your wrist?
Wie: Well, you know, I think this week, I will consider the fact of, you know, I can play pain free completely. I felt like last week was a really good, I felt like last week I was feeling a lot better and not hurting this much. This week I would really like it to be 100% pain free, because obviously it's a lot harder this week and you have to hit a lot of knock down shots which requires hitting into the ground. If I can go through this week without having any pain, no stinging, no letting go of the club, I'll be very happy. But obviously shooting a low score would be really nice, too. You know, a couple of shots felt like I was playing on concrete, but it's been going really well. I'm real happy about it.

Q. What about playing in the wind?
Wie: It's amazing because everyone has been telling me, oh, you must be you're playing in Hawaii but the wind here is completely different in Hawaii. Actually like the wind in Hawaii because it cools you down, but over here you're freezing as it is already and then it's blowing 50 miles an hour. It's a heavy wind and it makes this golf course a lot more interesting. I think it wouldn't be a links golf course without the wind, so it's going to be really awesome.

Q. Are you feeling more confident?
Wie: Yeah, I do. I'm starting to build more confidence, because last week, you know, I hit a lot of good drives. It's getting better. Definitely working on hitting off the deck and hitting off the tees and hitting different shots, but I'm starting to feeling like I'm getting stronger and I can handle the long length of driver. I feel like I'm starting to have authority over the clubs and the clubs are not having authority over me. I'm feeling a lot stronger and on the road to recovery and I'm feeling a lot more comfortable.

Q. Talk about this year?
Wie: You know, it's been really interesting because up till this year, if you look at the tournaments I've played at, I've had fun, and every single tournament I've played exactly how I wanted to. I wish I would have won, but that problem is a good problem to have. Every single time I went out there, everything seemed really easy. My life was going exactly how I planned it. It was on a very fast track and then I hit my first bump. And obviously with my wrist, I've been struggling with my right wrist end of last year and then I, you know, fell and I really injured my left (wrist).
So it's been my first little bump. So I feel like, you know, it's going to make me a stronger player after all of this has happened after I get through this. Like I said, my wrist is definitely recovering. And at first, you know, I would have to say that I underestimated how badly I injured my wrist. At first, I was like, 'oh, I'm out of cast now, I should be right where I left it,' and it isn't. You have to start back at square one.
I felt like I just have to build up, build up, build up, until it gets really easy and natural for me, because I'm still thinking about what I have to do. It's not coming 100% natural to me. I'm still thinking about, what do I do off of here, and I'm still thinking about my swing more than I want to.
So I definitely think that this year has been a very hard year for me because things have not gone the way I wanted to, especially with my wrist and my body not being able to hit the ball. I've been hitting not being able to hit the as far as I wanted to hit it, and obviously, leaving myself in really awkward positions.
I feel like what doesn't kill me is going to make me stronger. I just have to get through this and I feel like I'm on the way to getting through it. I feel like I'm on the way to recovery and I just need to be patient with myself and not underestimate my situation right now and not underestimate how injured I was and how I need to get through this. Because it's golf is a hard game as it is, and I'm just working now on the way to recovery and I just need to be patient with myself.

Q. Do you regret coming back as soon as you did?
Wie: No, I don't regret it at all. I don't feel like I came back too soon. Obviously I wish I could sleep and let myself recover but that's not the way life works. Like I said, it was my first injury, and I didn't know how to go about it. I just thought, I'm young and I can beat myself again.
But you know, I felt like I took enough time. I felt like I took I don't know how many months off not playing. It was hard for me to fit another minute watching golf on TV anymore. I had to be out there, and I don't think it would have helped for me to rest a lot more, because I have to gain experience; and over the past couple of years, I gained a lot of strength by hitting golf balls. I try and hit golf balls for hours and that's where I gained a lot of strength.
So I felt like I had to do that all over again to gain my strength and to get the experience of playing golf again, playing in tournaments, being in competition, being competitive. So I just have to be out there, and I just feel like it's a very slow recovery.

Q. So you can't make it any worse if you're playing?
Wie: I feel like as of now, everything is healed. The bones got back together really nicely, and you know, just have to make it stronger. I haven't used for a long time so it's kind of really weak. I've been having a lot of problems with it because it's really weak and I've been hitting a lot of golf balls.
I've been starting a new workout program and really getting my wrist really strong, my body strong, my shoulders strong, every part of my body strong so it can support the wrist. I do feel like it's getting stronger, but I think any kind of injury sucks really.

Q. From the outside it looked like your confidence took a big hit in Switzerland last year.
Wie: I have to say, you know, starting before a little bit before the tournament, my right wrist unfortunately started hurting. But got back to school, started college applications. I have to go school and then after a week of school, I had to leave again. So I had to do a lot of work. I'm not making any excuses about it. I really enjoyed playing in Switzerland, but obviously I didn't play as well as I wanted to. But that's just the way it is. Sometimes I play good and sometimes I play bad. You know, I just feel like I'm getting better.

Q. Other than the injury, you're still very young
Wie: You know, I didn't really feel that. Obviously you know, there are points in my life where I do feel pressured, but that's what I took on. I mean, I didn't start playing golf and I didn't turn pro knowing, that, oh, this is going to be an easy life; there's going to be no pressure and this is going to be wonderful. It doesn't start out that way. I knew what I was going to put myself into, and I enjoy it. I enjoy the pressure and I enjoy the stress because it makes life a lot more interesting. I feel like it's going to be bad when people start to not have an expectation. I think it's great that people have expectations of me, whether it's higher than what I have of myself or lower than what I have of myself because I think that expectations are great, and if I can fulfill them, that's wonderful. I'm going to try as hard to fulfill what I have myself, and as of right now that's playing pain free, that's playing confidently and that's like when I'm having fun and I feel like I'm doing that.

Q. What about your future schedule?
Wie: Well, you know, hopefully I'll be able to play more golf than I have been in high school because I can, you know, change up my schedule. I can make my own schedule and my own courses at Stanford. Hopefully I'll be able to practise a little bit more, play a little more tournaments, take more online courses.
I'm definitely excited to go to Stanford. It was a dream come true when I got into Stanford. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Q. How many tournaments will you be playing?
Wie: Well, I mean, I'm not really sure. I just have to see what I can do and how many I can play. But I definitely want to try playing more.

Q. What about your chances for this week?
Wie: I think that if everything works out, if I hole a few putts, stay out of the pot bunkers like Tiger did and obviously keep it in one of the fairways out here, I think I'll be good.

Evian Masters winner, Natalie Gulbis
Q. Natalie Gulbis, fresh over a victory in the Evian Masters. How does it feel coming to St. Andrews with a victory under your belt?
Gulbis: It's great. I love the way that opening sounded, of course. It's a lot of fun to be around the players and get the feedback from the players. I think I've hugged about a hundred people today. So it's been a fun day.

Q. You've had a chance to look at the Old Course. What are your thoughts on that?
Gulbis: It's so much more than I thought it would be. I knew that it was hyped up, and I also knew it was the first golf course that was ever built. So I wasn't really sure if it was going to meet the expectations of what I thought it might be, and it definitely supersedes them; beautiful.

Q. What that make it so special?
Gulbis: Just being in all the spots of where I've seen players on TV. I went into the bunker today where David Duval was on 17; and I walked across the bridge and I've seen players and hearing the different stories and getting to go to some of the places that have the different memorabilia and the moments from this event. It's really special.

Q. Who did you receive these hugs from, players or R & A members?
Gulbis: Players, caddies, family, it's just been a lot of fun. It's been a lot of fun the last couple of days, and being around the players, and basically being here at the start of golf. It's really cool.

Q. What else do you know about St. Andrews that makes it so special?
Gulbis: Oh, no, this is a quiz now! I think what really makes this special sits the first time we've ever had a women's event here. That's going to supersede everything. It's been something that's been on the schedule for a couple of years. We've been really excited about coming over here and having an LPGA event. And having a major over here at St. Andrews, I think the players have been excited all year. This is one of those golf courses that you're not sure if you're ever going to get the opportunity to play, not only to play this golf course, but to play it in a major championship. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Q. What do you think of the clubhouse?
Gulbis: I'm a bit confused about the clubhouses. I've been to the one off the left, the R&A clubhouse, but it was to register and walk through. It's beautiful, from just looking at. And it also coming back towards the clubhouse seeing St. Andrews as a backdrop, it's pretty beautiful.

Q. What makes the British Open such a great event?
Gulbis: I've always been a big fan of the British Open. It's really a unique event. I mean, today I was working on putts from 50 yards away, and I was working on them for five, ten, 15, minutes, just 50, 60, 70 yards. Usually I work on wedge shots, 50, 60, 70 yards. But there's a green that's a hundred yards long.
There's some shots that at first look like at a course you would see at a semi links style in the United States, and it's not the case here. You can't take any of these shots for granted. Going out tomorrow we are going to take my caddie and I have hired a local to go out with us just to get as much information out of him as we can.

Q. Have you ever putted from 100 yards before?
Gulbis: No. Today was the first time. First putt was pretty good. Greg hyped it up before, but I got it to within ten feet so that was pretty good.

Q. You’ve taken a while to win on Tour, were you surprised when you won last week?
Gulbis: Not surprised. Was very pleased. Every week I go out to the event to try and win it, and I really do. I thought that I was going to win it when I started the week, I prepared that way. I went into Sunday that way having a number in mind of what I wanted to do. Some of the times it didn't work out; last week it worked out and the timing was perfect. There's good things and bad, for sure, and I'm looking forward to playing this week.

Q. Can you talk the back injury you had?
Gulbis: Yeah, I got hurt using a swing actually, just kind of a weighted device that I was working on some swing changes with, and that was just enough to push it over the edge. I have a tendency, if a trainer tells me to do it ten times, I do it 20, and that was one of the things that I couldn't do 20 times. I was swinging it a lot and little did I know, I got hurt.

Q. Natalie, thank you very much and good luck this week.
