Perrine Delacour

Mixed Zone

Q. Lots of birdies on the card out there, more than I've seen anyone else have. How are you finding those birdie opportunities out there?

PERRINE DELACOUR: Well, my putting was pretty good, especially on the back nine. I think I birdied the last three holes, but I also birdied 14 and 12 I think.

So yeah, putting was working definitely pretty good.

Q. Lots of people are having success on the back nine. Why is it playing easier? How is it different?

PERRINE DELACOUR: I think the wind for sure. We got less into-the-wind holes, and when they are long, we pretty much have downwind. So that helps a lot to get a shorter iron into those greens.

Q. What was probably the best part of your game today? You said your putting, but what was it about the greens?

PERRINE DELACOUR: I mean, I'm just having a good -- I'm seeing pretty good the putts, and then my caddie helps me a lot. So we are kind of a pretty good team together.

Q. How have you found the course? What have you learned about it the past couple days?

PERRINE DELACOUR: It's a great course. It's definitely different than what we used to play on British. It's not as linksy but it's definitely a challenging course.

Q. Have you been in the heather at all?

PERRINE DELACOUR: I did, on No. 2. When you're in the heather, you are just trying to get back in the fairway and just see. If you can make par, good. And if not, you just take your bogey and you get away.

I mean, you don't want to take much risk on it. Especially for me, I had a wrist surgery a couple years ago, so I don't want to risk anything.

Q. Being on top of the leaderboard, what do you hope to replicate tomorrow?

PERRINE DELACOUR: Tomorrow it's a new day. I've been working with my team on trying to not replicate it, both days. Tomorrow is going to come and I'm going to have a new feeling. I'm going to try to listen to my body and see from there.
