Quick Quotes

Q. I know it's not the outcome that you wanted, but can you tell me about the week and how you grinded today?

SUE WOOSTER: I guess when I got back to my room last night, I was just so grateful to have made another final. I said to myself, win or lose, so be it.

It kind of wasn't like that when I lost. I was very emotional. I've been emotional all of my four losses. I guess you have so much pressure. The pressure is just so intense that there's just this big buildup and then you just release it. You're delighted if you win and the opposite if you lose, but I'll get over it quickly.

Q. Has your husband caddied for you all four finals?

SUE WOOSTER: Yes, he has.

Q. What would you tell ladies who are debating on if they should compete at a national level like this if they were aspiring to? What would you tell them?

SUE WOOSTER: Well, as we're saying, we're not getting any younger, and I think sometimes when you get older you realize that opportunities don't come along every day, and you should just go for it. Sometimes you play well in some of these events, sometimes you qualify and you don't do any good or you qualify and you have a good result. Golf is an up-and-down sport, honestly.

I guess you've just got to stay fit as you get older. You've got to work hard on your game. You've got to get the most out of your game. You need to work on your mental side, and the rewards are fantastic. I mean, there's a lot more losses in golf than there are wins, but when you do something that you're proud of, it's amazing, and as you get older, you look back at it and just realize what you did was inspirational to other people.

People look up to me that in a sense that for my age I think I do pretty well, and I'd like to think that I can be a good example to senior women golfers to work hard and give it a shot.

Q. What part of your game are you most proud of this week?

SUE WOOSTER: Maybe not so much today, but all week my driving has been really good and my approach shots have been good and my short putting has been good. Long putting has been a bit off. But generally my driving has been good all week.
