Dette sa Tutta etter sin seier
21.10 Tuttas seier:
Reddet mye - her er hva hun sa etterpå
Tutta vant på det 3. omspillshullet med en birdie-putt på halvannen meter. Da
reddet hun mye.
Hun reddet mye av sesongen. Hun reddet den norske ære. Hun reddet seg fint inn
etter å ha gitt fra seg den store ledelsen på den siste runden. Hun reddet rett
og slett seieren. Flott gjort!
Tutta gikk fra 16. til 11. plass på pengelisten og redder gode rankingpoeng på
verdensrankingen.
Hun hadde tre birdier, en bogey og to dobbel-bogeys på sin 72-runde. Likevel
endte hun 11 under par på turneringen.
Catriona Matthew startet dagen sju slag bak. Med 6 birdies og en bogey klarte
hun å få playoff. Rolex Rankings No.
Fra LPGA Tourens hjemmeside - "my big goal is the Olympics in four years":
"Pettersen got off to a shaky start on the front nine and double bogeyed the par
3 third. After birdieing No. 4 she would bogey another par 3 on the eighth. It
was then that Pettersen found herself diverting from her original game plan.
"After I bogeyed 8, I looked at my caddie, I said, if I am going to bogey, I
might as well just fire right at the pin," said Pettersen. "There's no point
playing safe. He said, why don't you just play as aggressive as you have all
week. What are you trying to do? So I might have gone out trying to be a little
bit protective, which obviously does not fit my game at all."
Making the turn at 2-over, she still held a two-shot lead. But another
double-bogey at the par 3 12th dropped Pettersen two shots back after Matthew
had back-to-back birdies on No. 13 and 14 two groups ahead.
"So made a few birdies on the back nine, made a little bit of unfortunate lie on
12 on the par‑3, but overall I felt like I played pretty good, it was just not a
scoring day," said Pettersen. "I just really tried to hang in there. I tried not
to even look what was going on around me because it would just stress me out.
Just really tried to stick to my own game plan, which I had to readjust after
like eight holes."
But Matthew would go on to birdie three on the back nine while Pettersen
continued her par 3 struggles and posted another double bogey on No. 12. She
would birdie the par 4 14th as Matthew bogeyed No. 16, putting them both at
11-under par where they finished in regulation.
Although Matthew had the momentum of a hot round on her side, Pettersen did not
falter in feeling she had it the whole time.
"I felt like I had it all in my hand both the first time around, second time
around, and the third around," said Pettersen. "It's getting closer. I'm getting
closer to the hole. But when you have a putt I would say inside eight feet, you
feel like you have it in your own hand. You're not going to get too many of
those. I mean, you would expect Catriona to hit it closer or kind of have a
chance, as well.
"I was fortunate enough, but I put enough pressure on her to kind of give myself
a good kind of chance," said Pettersen. "And the third time around I just made a
solid stroke, and it dropped."
Up in the ranks: With her $270,000 winner's check, Pettersen surpasses both Beth
Daniel and Laura Davies for 9th on the LPGA Career Money List. She sits behind
U.S. Solheim Cup team captain Meg Mallon and ranks sixth among active players.
"I think as a girl growing up, I never thought I'd ever be in that league," said
Pettersen. "That actually kind of is quite touching actually, that I've already
achieved that much. But I'm only 31, and my big goal is the Olympics in four
years. It's nice to get a head start to my career. I'm going to get my
confidence back, and it's always nice to get back in the winner's circle."

Intervju med SUZANN PETTERSEN, Rolex Rankings No. 9
THE MODERATOR: I'd like to welcome in the 2012 LPGA KEB Hana Bank
champion Suzann Pettersen. Congratulations. I think that double fist pump at the
end after the putt dropped said it all. How relieved were you that that putt
dropped?
SUZANN PETTERSEN: You know, I just felt like I was actually glad I had a
chance to go out there in the playoff. Again, I just felt great. I had a great
warm‑up this morning and didn't really get off to a great start and didn't
really play the par‑3s good at all. I felt like I had it all in my hand both the
first time around, second time around, and the third around. It's getting closer.
I'm getting closer to the hole.
THE MODERATOR: You said this week you've been doing a pretty good job not
getting too high, not getting too low. You've been over the past two weeks. Was
there any point in this round where you felt likes your emotions were getting
the best of you or you got a little tense, a little nervous?
SUZANN PETTERSEN: No. After I bogeyed 8, I looked at my caddie, I said,
if I am going to bogey, I might as well just fire right at the pin. There's no
point playing safe. He said, why don't you just play as aggressive as you have
all week. What are you trying to do? So I might have gone out trying to be a
little bit protective, which obviously does not fit my game at all.
So made a few birdies on the back nine, made a little bit of unfortunate lie on
12 on the par‑3, but overall I felt like I played pretty good, it was just not a
scoring day. I just really tried to hang in there. I tried not to even look what
was going on around me because it would just stress me out. Just really tried to
stick to my own game plan, which I had to readjust after like eight holes.
THE MODERATOR: I saw you give your Catriona a high five on the way to the
playoff. Seeing how hot she was all day, what was going through your mind in
that cart ride up? You said you felt like you had it the whole time.
SUZANN PETTERSEN: Well, you feel like you have it when you actually have
a makeable putt to win. Obviously it's always tough; I was kind of glad it was
Catriona, but at the same time, it was like, really? It was one of those win or
lose.
But when you have a putt I would say inside eight feet, you feel like you have
it in your own hand. You're not going to get too many of those. I mean, you
would expect Catriona to hit it closer or kind of have a chance, as well.
I was fortunate enough, but I put enough pressure on her to kind of give myself
a good kind of chance. And the third time around I just made a solid stroke, and
it dropped.
THE MODERATOR: I'm sure you would've been a little more comfortable with
the lead heading into the 18th or a little more comfortable cushion. How much
does that do for your confidence knowing you grinded it out the last couple
holes and then the playoff holes?
SUZANN PETTERSEN: You know, to be quite honest I had no clue. The last
time I saw the scoreboard I saw Catriona was 12‑under through 16. When we got to
17 ourselves, I believe the board was like way outdated. The updates were from
the 10th and 11th holes. We were standing on 18, and I said to Brian, last time
I saw she was 12. He said last time I saw she was 11. So we were kind of
guessing. But I said it doesn't really matter because we're going to make a
birdie, I know. If we're laying up or going for it, we've got to play it our way.
So it didn't really affect where I stood.
But it's always nice to grind it out at the end of the day. You always feel like
you might get the best part of your game, but it was just solid enough to hang
in there.
THE MODERATOR: With the winner's check, it puts you at 9th all‑time on
the Money List in a group of pretty special players, some all‑time players.
Where does this win rank with you in pushing you in your career?
SUZANN PETTERSEN: I mean, if I just ‑‑ I think as a girl growing up, I
never thought I'd ever be in that league. That actually kind of is quite
touching actually, that I've already achieved that much. But I'm only 31, and my
big goal is the Olympics in four years. It's nice to get a head start to my
career. I'm going to get my confidence back, and it's always nice to get back in
the winner's circle.
Q. How did you find the course conditions today compared to yesterday?
SUZANN PETTERSEN: I thought the course was playing quite similar. The
wind was not as high as it was yesterday. It was a little breezy, came out of
the same direction, so quite familiar with that part. Other than that, I think
the greens have been fantastic all week. They've been rolling really pure, very
speedy at times. I think the course has been in the best shape we've ever seen
it, so it was nice to obviously execute and play well.
