Quick Quotes

Q. Joining us after the second round of the 2026 Standard Portland Classic is Celine Boutier. Celine, phenomenal round today. Can you just talk about what was going well on the golf course?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I think I gave myself a lot of chances. My long game was pretty solid, so I hit a lot of greens and was able to have a lot of birdie chances which kind of helped me quite a bit on this course.

And I think made a few, missed few, but I feel like overall pretty happy with the way I'm playing.

Q. You had a win this year at ShopRite. How do you feel like that set you up for the rest of your season?

CELINE BOUTIER: I think it gave me a lot of confidence and encouragement. I feel like my game was kind of so-so at the beginning of the year and then kind of started to turn around slowly, so just getting that win was just definitely kind of a relief and really gave me confidence in what I was doing.

Then hopefully can keep going the same way and give myself a few chances for the rest of the season.

Q. And then you were named to the 2026 European Solheim Cup team. Can you just talk about how you're looking forward to that experience and representing Europe in Europe?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I'm super excited to be a part of this team again this year. I think our team is looking very strong and I'm really looking forward to playing again in Europe. I think it's going to be really fun to have some fans cheering for us this year.
