Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Celine Boutier, a 1-under effort today to finish at 10-under for the event. Hit 12 of 14 fairways and 15 the 18 greens. How did it go out there today?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, it was tough day again just with the cold. It was just playing very long.

But my long game was really solid today and the whole week. I just feel like I left a couple of putts out there. Overall pretty happy with my round.

Q. What did you find this week that both you liked to see from your hard work in the off-season and that needs some improvement?

CELINE BOUTIER: I was happy to see that my long game was good. I was a bit worried about it coming into the week so this felt pretty good.

Obviously still need to work on my putting. But, yeah, I mean, it's a long season so I feel like I still have some time to get it back.

Q. How much more challenging was this golf course today in these colder conditions? Feels colder today than yesterday.

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I agree. I think it was colder, but for me it was a bit easier because it wasn't raining so I didn't have three things to do at the same time. For that it felt a bit easier.

But it was definitely completely different from the first few days. Even the shots we had, the irons or the clubs we had into the greens were completely different, so felt like a different course.

But I like it that way actually. I like when it's getting harder. You just got to be really solid from top to bottom, so it's good.

Q. Does it feel like European weather to you?

CELINE BOUTIER: Oh, completely. Completely.

Q. Are you heading down the road to Boca Rio next week?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yes.

Q. What are you going to take with you from this week that you learned that you need work on into Boca Rio?

CELINE BOUTIER: Hopefully a bit of confidence with my game. A little bit frustrating at the moment just because of my finish and stuff, but I just need to get my confidence back with my short game and my putting, and then I'll be good.
