My friends don't think it's a very hard sport. They think it's just hopping around in front of a crowd of people, but they're wrong. It's very hard to do.

The are just hopping ready to get there.

I think this is what golf is all about, ... You have the same crowd that you would normally have in a regular LPGA event, but . . . you get some emotions out there that you wouldn't expect to see on the golf course. . . . It's a beautiful thing.

We really don't have cheerleading in my school either. We have it with the athletic clubs in Germany, but I didn't know much about it, so I thought I would try.

We practice three times a week in addition to our studies. I have strength training instead of physical education. Lifting weights helps a lot. When I first started, I was tired all the time. Now, I can go the whole practice session.

It has been so hard. We went as far as we could, playing in front of a Canadian crowd like this, under the Canadian microscope. All we care is we're happy with it and people can think what they want. Until you're here, until you're playing in this atmosphere, you have no idea and people can think and say what they want.
