DANA GROSS-RHODE: Thank you all very much for coming. Meaghan, can you talk about your memories for the month of March? It has been a magical month March for you in the past few years? You won on March 12, 2006, and March 12, 2007, and now you're back here today.
MEAGHAN FRANCELLA: This week has been special just to get back, and I'm really excited to be back here. When I walked the course on Monday, all of the feelings I had last year when I left came back. Bosque Real and Mexico City are both really special, and it's just really great to be back.
Q. Are you ready to face the challenge of defending your title with a target on your back this year?
MEAGHAN FRANCELLA: Yeah, I hope so. Last year, after I won, I expected to go about the next tournament the same way. Nobody knew who I was until I won here. I don't feel any pressure, but I think I'm just excited to get the week started. I've never defended before, because when I won in 2006, it was on the Duramed FUTURES Tour, and then I was on the LPGA Tour the next year. So this is my first time defending a title. It's just more of an excitement rather than a pressure.
