Celine Boutier, who has won three LPGA tournaments this season, is again making waves for her third-place finish after the second round in the LPGA Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur.
The French Professional golfer shot an 8-under 64 on Friday (October 27), moving into a tie for third place, two shots behind leader Jasmine Suwannapura and one shot behind Rose Zhang.
Talking about her performance, Celine Boutier said (Quotes via Golfweek):
"I feel like I had a lot of really close birdie putts. The greens are soft so I was able to hit it a little bit easier to just be aggressive, because the ball is going to stay. I feel like if you can manage to control your distances very well it’s a lot easier when you don’t have to worry about the bounces."
