Quick Quotes

Q. 18 hole tournament scoring record, as far as I know. So you never want to play this course again, huh?

CELINE BOUTIER: I think I finished in a pretty good note today to play it again.

Q. Take us through bogey-free. That's impressive. This course doesn't play super easy.

CELINE BOUTIER: No, it's kind of one of those tricky courses where I feel like it looks like it could be scorable, but then it's also really tricky at the same time.

But I just give myself a lot of opportunities today, so I just felt like my long game was really solid and so that helped me quite a bit today.

Q. And not only did the birdies fall, but let me double check this, you had an eagle on No. 5. Take us through that hole.

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, just hit driver and then hybrid. I don't remember exactly the distance I had to the pin, but that give me about, I don't know, like a 20-, 25-footer and I made it, so it was pretty nice.

Q. When you made that and you walked to No. 6, could tell that you could kind of start something in the round?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, definitely. I feel like the first couple of holes started kind of slow, but they're also tough holes. At the same time I was also happy to get away with a few pars to start off the round.

Then definitely the eagle kind of got me a little bit of momentum and got me going.

Q. I know it's a new tournament next week. Are you playing Meijer next week? No you're not. KPMG in a couple weeks, can this provide some momentum over the next couple weeks?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I hope so. I feel like my game has been really solid the past couple of weeks. I just haven't been able to like score that well, like show it on the leaderboard.

I just feel like this week was kind of the same until today. Like I felt like my game was close, but just getting just low rounds definitely helpful give me more confidence for the next couple weeks.

Q. And then no Meijer next week, so a week off and KPMG at Atlanta Athletic Club. What's the schedule look like for you with an off week to get prepared for a major?

CELINE BOUTIER: I think I'm going to rest for a couple of days because I feel like the next -- the past three weeks have been pretty tiring, to be honest. The courses have not been flat, so it's just like physically a little bit harder.

So definitely rest for a couple of days, but then definitely try to get my game ready for Atlanta. I haven't really played the course before so I don't really know what to expect, but I have a few things in mind that I need to get better at before KPMG. I hope I can work on that.

Q. What's one of them?

CELINE BOUTIER: I just feel like I need to work on my 3-wood a little bit better. Hasn't been that confident with it. Also like my pitching wedge, just for like yardage and distance control, so a little bit room for improvement there.
