Quick Quotes

Q. So close there, but that was a heck of a shot on your final hole there. Tell me about that.

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I mean, I hit a really good second shot, like approach shot I guess, and I wasn't sure where it was.

I just thought it was going to be like long on the green and then I saw it was like a chip. But it's all uphill and into the grain, so I just was focusing on hitting it close and just make a birdie.

And then when I made contact I knew it was like a good shot and I knew I had a chance, but having it go in is definitely a bonus.

Q. And there was a really nice roar out there. We haven't heard roars on the golf course in a while. Good to do that in front of fans and especially fans here?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, it's definitely been a little while, especially in Asia. The crowds are usually so big here, so, I mean, it is what it is.

I was already pretty happy that they were allowing some spectators, and then just having a nice finish on 18 is definitely making the week a little bit sweeter.

Q. What are your takeaways from these two weeks in Asia?

CELINE BOUTIER: I'm going to try to focus on the positive. I feel like it's very easy to get down. I was a little bit frustrated with my week last week in Singapore, and then being able to finish third this week is -- obviously I know I can improve on some stuff, but with the way I was driving it, I feel like third is a pretty good finish.

Q. So you still got mom, dad, and sister here. Will you stay here at all? What are your plans before we head back in a couple weeks?

CELINE BOUTIER: No, I'm actually flying back to America, but they're staying for like another two weeks or so, so I think they're going to keep enjoying their holiday. I am heading back to America tomorrow.

Q. Next event for you will be Carlsbad?

CELINE BOUTIER: No, I'm actually taking that week off. I just like -- going back that way is a little bit tougher and I just want to have some time to recover and get my game ready for Chevron.
