Quick Quotes

Q. (What did you think of the crowds this week)?

PERRINE DELACOUR: It's always nice to feel the support from France and all of the people are here no matter what my score, they are always supporting me. It's nice.

Q. What was tough about this course? Obviously you know the course. But maybe was it kind of overfamiliarity maybe?

PERRINE DELACOUR: No, it's playing hard for sure. If you don't hit it in the fairway, you kind of like lost a lot of spots.

I don't drive as good as I used to, and that kind of hurt. It's just everything mentally, it's hard.

Q. And so how do you feel about tomorrow? Is it a case of just enjoying the atmosphere and the home support?

PERRINE DELACOUR: I'll enjoy it for sure. It's only one time in your life you're playing in front of your home crowd for the Olympics. I will enjoy as much as I can, and hopefully I will have a good score. But I wouldn't expect anything better than what they did the last couple days no matter my score.

I will just enjoy as much as I can. Unfortunately I won't be the first tee time, so I won't tee off first and close everything because I did the opening tee shot. But besides that, it's a lot of positives from this week playing at home in front of all of the people and feeling the support from them.

Q. For the future, do you think this will make a difference to golf in France, the exposure and the atmosphere this week?

PERRINE DELACOUR: Yeah, I think so. I think that's a lot of people that are not familiar with golf, and they are here because it was a package and they came to watch golf.

I think it's a good course to watch it because it feels like a stadium the entire time. You get a lot of support and a lot of people clapping and still supporting you. So I feel like it's good for golf.
