Q. Celine, you knew this was going to be a very hard-fought day, a tight race. So many players had a chance to win this. When you birdied the 13th hole, looked like you were going to maybe take the lead. You kind of faltered a little bit down the stretch. Had to make a lot of up and downs. What was it like to finish this out?
CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, it was not easy by any means. I definitely feel like this course is very scorable, so I knew I had to make some birdies, and then the one on 13 was definitely a relief. Felt like I got a little bit of a lucky break there.
Just hung in there, and just what a way to finish in a playoff against Georgia. I just feel like she's such a good player and I'm really grateful and very happy to be coming out on top this week.
Q. What was that like to go against Georgia? You guys have become such good friends. Teamed up well, very successfully together in the Solheim Cup. What was that like to have to fight against her to get this win?
CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, I mean, to be honest it was not enjoyable. I just feel like I'm not really confrontational and I really like Georgia. We were partners, like you said. So I feel like it was definitely a little bit sad that I had to go against her.
But she had a great round today and it was great that she had such a low round and be able to go on the playoff.
Q. With this third win you now become the winningest player from France on the LPGA. Patricia Meunier-Lebouc and Anne Marie Palli. What does that mean to you to go down in the history books now?
CELINE BOUTIER: Yeah, it's unbelievable. I mean, I don't really know how to express it. Anne Marie is here today watching, and so I think it's very special. I definitely feel like I was trying not to think about it just because it's so crazy to think that I'm making history in any way.
I feel like I'm just trying to do my thing, and hopefully I will have more chances in the future. Yeah, I'm definitely not trying to think too hard about that.
