LINDSAY WRIGHT: Just the same as any other person really. All I want do is just go out there and do what I am doing now, just you know, hit the fairways, hit the greens, apply a bit of pressure and that's it. I am good to go just treat Becky like anyone else.

Q. You have an interesting background. Involves several nations. Would you tell us where you were born and moving to Australia --
LINDSAY WRIGHT: I was born in England, and I lived there until 1999. I have 2 older brothers, younger sister, we were shipped off -- my parents shipped over to Australia, I don't know it was like the spring of 1989. And we moved up to Albury which is a country town like four hours north of Melbourne, and I mean, I lived in Australia since I was nine up until -- I was 20 and then I took a scholarship at Pepperdine University; that's when I moved over here.
Q. How old were you when you began playing golf?

We've got huge Lakes, you know, tourist season, you can do water skiing. In the winter you can go up and snow ski. Kind of a lot to do.
Q. Why did your family immigrate to Australia?
LINDSAY WRIGHT: Basically I think a lot of it was -- I asked dad that and he said just for a better life, for us kids to have more opportunity, more freedom, and I guess the weather was a big part of that too. My dad doesn't like the cold weather, but in Australia, you can do anything. I can get on a golf course when I was 10, you know, and I was just free to go out and play whenever I wanted. There's not many people there really. When you consider it to the United States, it's very different.
