Press Conference

Q. General reaction on the round today. How did it go?

LYDIA KO: Overall I played solid. Made one hiccup on one hole. The course is difficult, and it can really get away from you. I think for the most part, I was able to stay patient out there and to finish off with a birdie, definitely kept the first round on a high note.

Q. How much did you enjoy the atmosphere?

LYDIA KO: It was awesome. Obviously playing behind Celine and saying all the crowds there cheering her on, almost felt like I was kind of tag ago long about that group as well.

But yeah, you know, I think it being held in Paris and the French players, whether it's the men and women both playing really well, I think it's a great atmosphere to be a part of and I've honestly loved the experience today. Looking forward to the next three days.

Q. And just rest and refresh for tomorrow?

LYDIA KO: Yeah. Same as yesterday and so I'm excited for some food and get some rest.
