Wendy Doolan

WENDY DOOLAN: I got lucky. I hit it left of the pin there. And I was just hoping to keep it on the green, to be honest with you. That was an extraordinary pin placement, I will say. It was a little bit tough there.

WENDY DOOLAN: It's always nice to make a long putt and gets a bit of adrenaline going, wherever it is. Doesn't matter if it's a tough one or an easy one; making a long putt is always good.

WENDY DOOLAN: 8, yeah. I was on the green in 2, and it was about 30 feet. I left it -- I nearly -- I didn't lip out, but it was close.

WENDY DOOLAN: On 7, I honestly was reading the putt. I knew that if I missed the hole it was going to be about 8 feet below the hole. That was just realistic.

WENDY DOOLAN: No. I mean, I made some putts yesterday as well. It was pretty consistent. I mean, I made, as I said, I made one long putt today. It's always nice. The rest of them were realistic chances.

WENDY DOOLAN: You know what? I can't even answer that. I don't remember. It's been a while. I've been playing well the last couple of months. I may not have been in the lead the last couple of months, but I've been right there quite a few weeks.

WENDY DOOLAN: No, I don't look at the board. Not interested -- until Sunday, after everybody's finished.

WENDY DOOLAN: Oh, yeah. I mean that's always nice. I'm out there doing my best. And I can't control what anyone else is doing. If I give 100 percent of every shot, I'm very happy. Very happy.

WENDY DOOLAN: You know what? I'm going to do the same thing as I do every day. Probably go work out a little, eat dinner and, get a good night's sleep.

WENDY DOOLAN: No, I don't a talk -- my brother's coming in to town tonight. He'll be in America for two months, and he's going to be here tonight, which is nice. As far as my parents and other brother, I usually talk to them on Mondays. Pretty regular -- Monday, no matter what happens.

WENDY DOOLAN: My brother Don is here this week, and I have another brother Andrew.

WENDY DOOLAN: Business. He works in Columbus. He's in insurance.

WENDY DOOLAN: He was based here for two years. He recently went home, but he's back for a two-month stint.

WENDY DOOLAN: No. I'm just -- all I can do is pick my targets and do the best I can over every shot and every putt. And at the end of the week, if I'm in front, great. If I've done my best, even better.

WENDY DOOLAN: I started playing when I was 15. I played a lot of amateur golf in Australia representing New South Wales and also Australia. That's pretty much all she wrote.

WENDY DOOLAN: It's always nice playing well when your family's in town. He seen me play a lot of tournaments the last couple of years, and had a lot of good weeks when he's been around.

WENDY DOOLAN: The last tournament he saw here was in Reading, Pennsylvania, I think. Yeah, that was it. And then actually he saw me play the Australian Masters, that was in February or March, whenever that is.

WENDY DOOLAN: Yeah, it's from Columbus. I get to see my nephew.

WENDY DOOLAN: Blake.

WENDY DOOLAN: Born in December, so is that 6 months? Yeah. And my sister-in-law too. But Blake's the all important, isn't he?

WENDY DOOLAN: I was at the christening.

WENDY DOOLAN: I'm really happy with the way things have been going. Every year poses new problems and new ambition and new goals, and I feel like I'm moving forward. And I just try and do better, everything I do. So if I keep improving, I'm happy. And I feel like I've improved pretty much every year since I've been out here.
