"I just love playing the PGA Tour events," she said. "I realize I have to gain a little more distance. I'm still going to play a couple each year. It's still going to be my goal to be able to make the cut, to be able to compete in the PGA events and to one day play in the Masters."

She added that she has other goals.

"I think I'm going to focus on winning more tournaments ... that's going to be my major focus over the next couple of years."

First up is the elite 20-woman Samsung World Championship, where she is paired on Thursday with Cristie Kerr in the penultimate group off the first tee.

She played here as an amateur last year and finished tied for 13th.

"I think I'm a lot more mature than last year," she said. "I have grown up a lot since last year. My game hopefully is more consistent."
