How to use slam in a sentence?
She’s been a Top 10 player for a number of weeks now, one of the most consistent on the tour over the last, I don’t know how many years — five or 10 years. She’s always been there, always been knocking on the door, always giving herself the opportunity, i know that Grand Slam title for her is not far away.
I actually dont think that November is any form of a slam dunk because the reality is its still five months away.
I want to win Augusta, all the majors, have the career Grand Slam and continue to win events, i've won Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus' event, and that's pretty cool. I want to eventually win [Tiger Woods' Genesis Invitational], and have all three of those. That'd be cool.
I have been in the final of the Grand Slam, but this is a little bit different, i'm not playing on the grass, but I think it's just probably a little bit more special because it's after everything I have been through. So I think it's just different, but I don't think it's, like, more nervous.
It definitely felt like a slam dunk.
