Q: Ai, congratulations. Very well deserved. What are your feelings after this exciting week?
AI MIYAZATO: I'm feeling fantastic. I was really nervous over the last couple holes. On the finishing hole, I missed the fairway, so it was a great up and down. This is a really special win for me because this is Lorena's last event, so I feel really great.
Q: So far you've won three times, what are your aspirations for the year?
AI MIYAZATO: Well, just try to keep winning. I've played really good so far, so that's why I've won three times. The season is still halfway to go, so I'm trying to keep focused on my game and move on.
Q: (Inaudible)
AI MIYAZATO: I have many memories with Lorena. I've learned so many things from her, her passion, what she did for her country. She's not only a good player, she's a really good person outside of the golf course, so that means a lot to me. Not many people can do that. (Through translator): I also think that she is probably the only person who is strong but also gentle. I also feel that personality-wise, we're pretty similar, so I want to have a career just like her.
Q: How would you now face the challenge to be No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings, now that you could be No. 1 or No. 2 by just a few points?
AI MIYAZATO: (Through translator): I don't like to point out one particular person, but I feel like I am my only rival, and with all these great players, I don't know who's going to be the No. 1 player in the world, but if I can do just as good as Lorena has done all these years, I think I can be No. 1 just like her. But right now, I'll just focus on controlling myself.
Q: What are your next two tournaments?
AI MIYAZATO: I'm going to Japan next week, and I'm going to play Mobile and match play.
