Listen to your heart
At the 2010 Bell Micro LPGA Classic, I was in a sudden-death playoff with Se Ri Pak and Brittany Lincicome. On the second playoff hole, a par 4 with a tough hole location, my drive left me in great position to fire at the pin. I missed the green in the wrong place, didn't get up and down, and Se Ri ended up winning. After it was over, I realized that playing away from that flag and taking my chances with a longer putt might have been smarter. On the other hand, there's a saying: "Never regret something you didn't do." I regretted gambling and losing, but if I'd played safe and lost that way, I would've regretted that more. When listening to your heart and your mind, give your heart the edge.
