Quick Quotes

Q. 4-under 66 for you today. What was working so well for you out there?

CELINE BOUTIER: I think my long game has been pretty solid the past two days. I feel like today I just made more putts, and I think that made the most difference between yesterday and today.

Q. These greens are pretty tough out here. What did you find on the greens today that worked?

CELINE BOUTIER: You know, I'm not sure. I think I just stopped overthinking them. It's kind of hard to read actually, and I struggled a bit yesterday and I felt like I was kind of getting in my head a little bit and trying to overanalyze everything.

So today I kind of tried to not overcomplicate it and just go with my gut.

Q. You've had a pretty solid season. We are in the last couple weeks of the year. How would you grade yourself from the beginning of the year through a Solheim Cup, through the couple wins you had in our home country, and then the LPGA?

CELINE BOUTIER: I'm not sure, but I'm definitely very satisfied with my season. I feel like I started really poorly at the beginning, and then I kind of came together towards the middle of the season and managed to keep going after that.

I hope I can keep the top momentum for this week and next week and enjoy the off-season.

Q. You've kind of solidified your place as one of the better plays in the game at the moment. What have you been working on on the golf course and off the golf course to get yourself...

CELINE BOUTIER: Well, I haven't really changed anything or made any drastic differences. I just kept working on my short game. I think that was the main difference.

I think my putting has been a little bit inconsistent at times, and I feel like that was what was making a difference between a top 10 or playing for the win versus being in the middle of the field.

So I feel like for me my putting has been the biggest challenge, but I've also been hitting very solid pretty much all season long. I feel like that's definitely helped me.

Q. And last question: Heading into the weekend, what's the mindset?

CELINE BOUTIER: I think I'm just going to try to do the same thing that I did today and yesterday. Just give myself as many opportunities. I feel like these greens, like you said, are pretty tricky, so you just have to get as many looks as you can. Obviously you're not going to drain all of them, but the more you have the better the odds.
