Pat Hurst celebrates her birdie on the 14th hole.

Pat Hurst sat forward in her chair in the interview room. She said she "can't wait for tomorrow."

"My arm is hurting from carrying my daughter," Hurst said. "It's cramping, I guess, from being so tired. But out there I felt fine. I'm ready to go one more round, of course. I'd die for this. This is what we live for, and I've got that opportunity."

Hurst has been called an underdog by a lot of people this weekend (including me), but she shakes off the label by saying sensibly that all that matters is what she does with her clubs. Someone in the media room asked her a strange question about whether she has felt like an underdog for much of her life. She chuckled a bit and said, no, she has a husband and a family, she has a good life, and she does not feel like an underdog.

Another reporter asked Hurst the same question about Annika that he had earlier asked Sorenstam about Hurst: What is she like as a person, what is she like to play with? Hurst got a roar from the crowd when she said, "Well, first of all, what did she say?"
