I did play other sports growing up. I played cricket and all those other things, but I was just so much more talented in golf, and that's all I wanted to do.

I worked at the golf course, and I always had dreams and aspirations of being a professional golfer.

I grew up playing golf, and if I were ever good enough to play professionally, I would get to travel the world while playing a sport I love.

I've always played my best golf in the summer.

Summer I was 13, my grandfather and my father taught me how to play golf. I took lessons that summer, and I played every day that summer. I probably would've kept playing, except I realized that girls don't watch golf; they watch tennis. So I let my golf game go dormant and started playing tennis.

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.

Had I not become a professional golfer, I think I would have pursued some type of career in aviation.

I was a hotshot as a junior. When I was 18, I really got into fiddling around. I completely lost interest in golf, and I guess all I could think about was going to college, getting married and having babies.

I started with golf because I saw my brothers play, I was always watching them. It was my life. Growing up, we always played competitions like chipping, hitting.

From the time I won the Kansas City Match Play championship at age 14, I never wanted to be anything but a golfer.
