Mixed Zone

Q. Celine, take us through the round. What went well for you today and what felt great today?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, very solid round overall. I feel like my long game was good. It was just really tough conditions. It was hard to get all the greens in regulation out there and whenever I missed a green I was able to get up-and-down. I only really had two 3-putts but it was like really long putts, and you know, I feel like putting with the wind is kind of quite challenging, especially with the elevation change and then the wind, you have to factor in, it's not always easy but I honestly did my best and pretty happy with my round.

Q. That's interesting, the fact that you have to take on the wind for every shot, even for the putting.

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I think especially with putting it's a bit more challenging because you just don't expect the ball to get moved that much. So it's just something you get used to.

Q. What do you enjoy the most about playing links and playing Muirfield?

CELINE BOUTIER: I enjoy tough conditions. I think you have to be really solid with your game but also mentally, not take bad breaks too personally and just try to bounce back whenever you have a tough hole. I think you have to be really patient and I feel like it really tests every part of your game from driving to putting.

Yeah, I think it's a great challenge and a great test for the best golfers in the world.
