Quick Quotes

Q. Celine, a round of golf with five birdies is very good, but with no dropped shots on this golf course, how did you do that?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I mean, it's pretty satisfying I have to say. I think my game was just very steady all day. I maybe missed two or three greens so it was really steady from start to finish, and definitely happy with no bogeys today.

Q. I bet. To make a birdie on a hole like the 12th, one of the most difficult holes on this golf course, the wind is something else out here. How do you make a birdie at the 12th?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, thankfully they moved the tee up a little bit, and managed to hit the fairway, which was very helpful. From there, just hit right in front of the green and made a solid putt, so that was definitely a highlight for today.

Q. So you're making inroads. Really important to shoot a good score this afternoon when the breeze is up, because you're off early tomorrow morning. A big opportunity tomorrow morning when the breeze is slightly less.

CELINE BOUTIER: It's always unpredictable because it was supposed to be really windy from the start and it kind of really started really slow and then got really windy, so hopefully, yeah, tomorrow I will take advantage of the less windy conditions and hopefully shoot a low score as well.
