Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Celine. Up the whole match. What was working for you today?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I think I played very solid all round and was able to hit it close the first few holes, which really gave me an advantage.

And, yeah, I was up pretty fast after the first four or five, so that kind of helped me get going and I feel like put a little bit more pressure on Angel.

Q. Was there anything working today that maybe hasn't been in the last couple days or anything you've been working on that you have seen the improvement to today?

CELINE BOUTIER: Not really. I feel like my game has been about the same. I feel like it's been pretty solid. It's a challenging course so you just have to stay patient and definitely try not to get ahead of yourself.

Even when you have a little bit of a lead, I feel like it can go really fast both ways.

Q. You got a little bit of time before you tee off again. What will you be doing? You just ate lunch. Will you hit some putts, take some shots, or just try and cool off and conserve energy?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I think I'll rest a little bit because I do have a lot of time left, and then I'll try to do a shortened version of a warmup right before I'm about to tee off.
