Quick Quotes

Q. Pauline Roussin-Bouchard is with us now at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Pauline, 2-under today in your final round. What did you do well out there?

PAULINE ROUSSIN-BOUCHARD: I would say it was a mix of everything. I think I putted really well so putting came in clutch for sure.

And then I think I just kept my cool, which is something that I definitely have to keep working on over and over again.

And, yeah, just about hanging around and trying to just hit good shots. And very cliche, but one shot at a time, because that wind doesn't allow you to plan ahead.

Q. I understand that exercise and physical pressure has been helping you lately. How much it help you this week?

PAULINE ROUSSIN-BOUCHARD: Honestly, I think I compared it to Last Man Standing, which is the running race. I followed that during the U.S. Open and, I don't know, it's very inspiring because it's who won't quit and you just go one more, go one more.

It was kind of like that with good shots. So I was like, okay, one more good shot, one more good shot. It was all about that and staying in the moment and try to not fly away.

Q. Does that kind of attitude help you with any conditions or with any setup or any golf course, that you accept it and just embrace it?

PAULINE ROUSSIN-BOUCHARD: I'm usually really not good at this. I really get fiery out there and quite angry very quickly. I think it's good because you can ride the fire, but I think in those conditions it's good to have a little anger, but it's good to like compound say with a lot of patience and a lot of (indiscernible), which is what I did.

Q. How satisfied, how relieved are you now after maybe two years seeing your game coming together that you find your game in the major, no?

PAULINE ROUSSIN-BOUCHARD: I don't think it's been that big of a struggle since I finished third on the LET last year. There is definitely some tough times out here and dark times last year. I've been on the way up and it's been really nice because I've just been enjoying the game a lot and just being a professional athlete in general.

But I think it's just the experience, getting older, which is sometimes something we kind of forget that's definitely been helping; and surrounding myself with people that have my back no matter what, through the highs and lows and different emotions that I can go through, because I can have a lot of those.

So, yeah, it's nice to make cuts on majors because that's the first step. I think Chevron was my first major cut in a little while, so it's nice to just count them and be like 1, 2, 3, and try to improve that every single week.
