Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Celine Boutier who had a day on Sunday here in Arkansas. Two eagles in one nine on your opening nine holes. What was going on there?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, it was kind of weird. I was actually having a pretty slow start, so I had a bogey on my 3rd hole and then just had trouble waking up for some reason. Just took me a while.

And then I just had a good chance for eagle on 14. That got me going. And then had another chance on 18 and happened to make it. So it was definitely a pretty good save on my front; definitely got me going for the back.

Q. You told me you'd never done that in your life. How surprised were you to have those two double circles on the card?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I don't feel like I'm a very aggressive player. Like I don't get that many eagles in general, but then they moved up the tee on 14. I don't know, it just happened that I had these eagle chances, and thankfully I made the putts, so it just turned out that way.

Definitely very usual to have two eagles in the same round, let alone in the same nine.

Q. Then finished strong on the back nine; bogey-free. I guess that switch flipped, huh?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I think it really got me going after nine holes and I knew I still wasn't there. I had a few wedge shots in the front, which was my back, and just give myself opportunities.

And then had really good up and downs on 6 and 7 that kind of really help me stay up there.

Yeah, overall pretty solid day and very satisfied with my round.

Q. About six events left on the calendar. You've been knocking on the door a lot this season. How have you stayed patient waiting for that win?

CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I think you just got to trust yourself. I feel like the more I put myself in position I feel like the more it's going to help. I feel that I can that can only be a positive thing.

I'm just taking these performances and these Top 10s as good performances and just keep going. I think every week is a new week and just start over every week.
