Q. I wanted to ask, two players this year are basically -- they're comeback Players-of-the-Year, Se Ri and Karrie. You talk about the younger players last year, now you have these two players. Do you think the fields now you can get deeper in regards to when you come to an event like this that you have to look at more players that you would have in the past?
ANNIKA SORENSTAM: I think so. It's funny when you see the younger players. I don't think Se Ri is 30 yet, which is amazing. It's amazing, she won majors and now she's coming out. There are a lot of groups out there. When you talk about the younger ones it's the teenagers, and you have people in their late 20s, they are strong and have achieved a lot. And you have players like myself in their mid 30s who have done a lot of stuff. There are players out there with a lot of energy and motivation, and I think that's why you have more players in the mix nowadays.
