CAMBIA PORTLAND CLASSICAugust 31, 2018Karen StupplesPortland, Oregon KAREN STUPPLES: I really feel like I set out -- I accomplished what I set out to at the start of the week, which was to prove to myself that I still had potential to play, even though I don't want to, and I wanted to give John, my caddie, the best possible week I could, and I was as nice and as kind as I've ever been to anybody on the golf course. I wanted to make Cambia proud that they gave me the exemption, and I feel like I've done as much as I can, and I'm going to continue to give -- and any time Mark wants anything from me, any time, he knows where to find me because I would drop anything to go help him out because of everything he's done for this event and for the tournament. He's just really been spectacular with it. Q. I know you love this place. KAREN STUPPLES: This is just so happy, and I've replaced bad memories with some really happy times, and I've smelt the roses along the way, and I've noticed that there's a fantastic fruit orchard on the 15th, that I didn't even know existed until today, and it's obviously been there for some time because they're fairly mature trees. Q. You're just paying attention to you. KAREN STUPPLES: Exactly. I'm just seeing it with open eyes. The one thing I do wish is I wish I had played every single LPGA event of my career the way I played this one, with the same joy of just being able to take part. Q. So that's your advice for these young ones? KAREN STUPPLES: Exactly, just take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. Make friends with the sponsors that are paying for the event. Go and realize that every pro-am that you're playing in that you are making those players' day just by playing golf with you. And you have a range that's packed full of fantastic golf balls that people would love to actually play rounds of golf with, on grass that's perfectly manicured and a golf course that is in tremendous shape. And not everybody gets all these things. It's just a wonderful opportunity, and what a life. You get to travel the world, see some great sights, and just to really take it all on board because you never know when it's going to finish. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
