This is definitely one of the best stretches I think a player has played in my 11 years on tour. I saw that was it like May (Ariya Jutanugarn) and Annika (Sorenstam) were maybe the last two that had won three, four events in a row.

The max I’ve done is two and I was like, this is pretty cool to be able to win back-to-back weeks.

For her to win the second event of the year and have eight weeks off and win the next three, I was like, man, I shouldn’t have played, we’re all playing for second place.

But I was lucky enough to play alongside Nelly in Phoenix and she played great and she putted great. She’s obviously coming in with a lot of confidence. And even on the men’s side I think Scottie Scheffler is having a great stretch of his own as well.

It’s pretty impressive, and sometimes people are like, it must be that much easier to win. It’s showing and saying something about the player if they’re winning four weeks straight.
