Valentine Delon

Mixed Zone

Q. Okay, really enjoyed watching you at Muirfield and stuff.

VALENTINE DELON: Thank you.

Q. What did that -- when you got back to France, what did people make of that? It was a huge win.

VALENTINE DELON: Yeah, they were really happy for me. They knew I work really hard every time. When I came back to France I enjoyed with my friend and they were happy for me.

Q. What did Catherine say to you?

VALENTINE DELON: What did you say?

Q. Catherine Lacoste.

VALENTINE DELON: Yeah, she was happy because I won on her birthday. Before the final she texted me and say, tomorrow is my 80 birthday, so it would be nice to win, and when I won she was really happy. And I remember last year I went to her house, we talked a lot about like tournament and stuff, so every time I play I remember a little bit of her.

Q. You played at (indiscernible)...

VALENTINE DELON: Yes.

Q. Okay. And what have you been doing since you won at Birkdale? What have you been told to practise?

VALENTINE DELON: I played European Team Championship with France and then last week I practiced with my coach for a week straight, so it was really nice, and then I'm here.

Q. And do you like links golf?

VALENTINE DELON: I really like links golf. Today was really hard, but I really like links golf. It's really nice. Sometimes you play good and you shoot a bad score. Like today I feel I didn't play that bad and finally the score is not amazing, but that's what is links golf. You can always have surprise. Today the surprise was not in the good way, but that's golf.
