Welcome to golfchannel.com extra. I'm Randall Mell, back with our special guest, Sandra Gal, 5th year LPGA pro. And Sandra, we were talking about how you had a big year this last year, winning the Kia Classic, your first LPGA victory, making your first European Solheim Cup team. How are you going to top it in 2012? -You know, that's hard to top, and it was a very-- it was a great year and I-- I'm just going to take the little things from last year that need improvement and build on my strength and hopefully, we can make it an even better year this year. -Winning the way that you did at the Kia Classic with that dramatic finish, that great final shot, and beating-- it was Jiyai Shin, right? Tell us. Do you take the confidence of that with you? And how important has that been to the success of the rest of your year? -Yeah, you definitely take confidence away from that. You know, [unk] shot under pressure and you perform it the way you really-- you want to and that's something I can build on and, you know, I know that in any pressure situation, I can-- I can draw back on that and I have the experience now. -You make your start for 2012 next week at the Women's Australian Open [unk] co-sanction LPGA event. What-- where's your game at right now? What are your strengths? Where do you need to work on? -You know, I look at my statistics from last year and the little things that need improvement was my driving. You know, I haven't been hitting as many fairways and then I haven't been hitting a lot of greens from there on so I really worked on that. And another big aspect that I've been working on is my mental game. I think it's very strong but it also needs improvement in certain areas. So I started working a bit with [unk] you know, the Vision 54 girls and just kind of trying to shorten my routine over the ball so I just kind of react more to it and stop thinking basically. -Great. Well, good luck next week, Sandra, and again we thank you for joining us, and thank you for watching golfchannel.com extra.
