KIA CLASSIC


March 30, 2014


Anna Nordqvist


CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA

Q.  Fantastic tournament again this week.  I know it's been well documented that you were a bit fed up with your game at the end of last year.  Two wins this year.  What turned it around for you?
ANNA NORDQVIST:  I think just having positive people around me.  That's been really helping me keep me in a good mood and pushing me when I wanted to give up.
But I been working extremely hard this off‑season, so I can't believe it.  I'm still almost shaking right now standing here with another win.

Q.  You've had a change of coach.  What kind of things have you been working on?  Has he been a positive influence?
ANNA NORDQVIST:  Yeah, I've been working with Jorge Parada since the end of January.  We started a little bit on short game.  He's a really positive person and really motivated me in practice.
Been working a little bit on lagging a little bit different in the swing, and I feel like I can go after it a little bit more without hitting them left.

Q.  Going into the Kraft next week, what does this win do for your confidence for that?
ANNA NORDQVIST:  I mean, makes me believe a lot more in myself.  I love Palm Springs.  My caddie is from there, so I know he loves it there, too.  I couldn't come to the first major of the year in a better position.

Q.  What's it feel like, the importance of getting this thing?
ANNA NORDQVIST:  Well, I was two shots behind and really had nothing to lose today.  Didn't feel very good this morning.
But I wanted to at least give myself a chance.  Made a good par putt on 7 to ‑‑ or on 6 to keep me in it.  Made a couple really good birdies then the turn.
I'm still shaking and still can't believe this happened.  Obviously very happy.

Q.  To win going into a major week though, the importance of that, unbelievable amount of confidence, right?
ANNA NORDQVIST:  Absolutely.  I'm so excited to see what I've been working on is starting to pay off.  Can't waiting to go to Palm Springs.  It's one of my favorite stops on tour.
