Quick Quotes

Q. Finished with 58. So talk about the round today and the putter just wasn't as strong as yesterday.

ANNIKA SORENSTAM: Obviously extremely disappointed. The first five holes was very steady and fine. But no, I played a little too aggressively, and I didn't make the putts I needed to. I missed at the wrong time at the wrong place. It was just not -- it just didn't happen.

I got sick to my stomach. I had the chance. I felt like I had the opportunity to do it, the door was open, and just kind of let it slip away. So disappointing, for sure.

Q. Assess the overall week.

ANNIKA SORENSTAM: It's great to be here. I love it here. The tournament's great. American Century does such a good. My parents, the crowds are great, great to be here, very honored. Just wish I would have -- I know I'm not going to get many more chances, so it's just disappointing at the time, but super thankful to be here.

Q. You've got a lot of little girls out behind you, little girls out on the course. How good is it to be here in this environment, to be in the final group, and just kind of championing women's golf this week?

ANNIKA SORENSTAM: No, of course, it's very nice. It's great to have a lot of young girls out here, hopefully future golfers, women in general. This is a sport for everyone, as you know.

It's always fun to maybe be the female there and kind of hold the flag for quite a few females here. I wish I would have finished stronger, could have been a little bit more girl power than it was. It kind of fizzled in the end.
