Quick Quotes

Q. How do you feel this week? Your game looks like it's improving. You're in contention lately.

LIZETTE SALAS: Yeah, the last month or so, my game has kind of taken a turn for the better. Earlier this year I was very uncomfortable with making changes and got my old team back. It takes time. It's a process. I feel like the old me is coming back. The confident, aggressive, positive, patient Lizette is back.

At the same time, just one shot at a time and visualizing a lot better. I'm smiling a lot more. Last year was a really tough year for me, and just really grateful for the team that I have and for, I guess, the process of this.

My game feels good. I'm starting to like this golf course a little bit more. It's a major, so it's meant to be tough. I think we're ready.

Q. How much is the Solheim motivation for you?

LIZETTE SALAS: Oh, it's everything to me. It's an addicting feeling. Earlier this year thinking about it, I said, I have to -- in order to make that team I have to bring back the old Lizette and stop trying to be so perfect. Good golf is going to take care of itself, and I think Pat knows what I'm capable of. With my experience, I have to just go play my game and not worry about what everyone else is doing.

The dynamic is going to be a little bit different with the team. I just really hope to be on that this year. I feel like it could happen and it should happen, but at the end of the day it comes down to who's playing the best.
