Annika Sorenstam Love Quotations

I don't want somebody to ask, 'How many tournaments did Annika Sorenstam win? I would rather they say she was a great athlete, she loved sportsmanship and she loved what she did. If they know my name, then they will know I played good golf.

To top this great season off with another win against the best players in the world, it just does not get much better than this, ... I love it, I really do. This is very, very satisfying.

Even though this is my 12th year on tour, I love what I do. There's always a challenge. There are things I want to improve on, things I want to change. That's what keeps me going.

Last time I played I had to go 36 holes in one day which was a bit much. But I love playing in 72-hole tournaments and look forward to this event before the third major.

I know the young ones are going to take over eventually, there is no doubt about it. I love the position I'm in, and I'm not going to let it go too easily.

I really pulled out some clutch shots when I needed to. That's why I love doing this. Coming down the stretch and hitting those shots, there's nothing better.

I love this type of stuff because I love being around the guys.

They're not in the way. They're part of the Tour. It's fun to see a new generation come up with some great attitudes, great games. It is fun to see. Like I said, I love the new challenge.

When I come to a tournament I set really high goals and I come here to do the best I can. I don't know if I'm being rude if I win my own tournament, but I'm just a very competitive person and I love to do well. Today was a step in the right direction and one of my better rounds in about a month so I feel really good.

I'm here and I can play, and I can play against anyone, ... I've proved that to myself over and over again. To me, I love having the opportunity to do it when I need to.

I love the competition and to see all the young players come up. Their games are getting better and I've got to step up, myself, which I think is good for me. I've got to find new ways to practice and new ways to get better.

I love the challenge and I love coming down the stretch and making the shots you need to, ... It's just the extra excitement, knowing there are just a few holes left and having to hit the perfect shot. That's when all my adrenaline starts kicking in, on the back nine because that's when it matters.

I play this game for myself, and I motivate myself and I have my own goals, and I think I know my limits. I know what I want to achieve. There are a lot of young players coming up, and they are very good. But I also love being in the spot that I'm in, so that keeps me motivated.

He played aggressive. It was great to see. I loved playing with these guys.

It is a great way to start the year. This was my first visit to South Africa, and I have loved every minute.
