“I was a little slow to start yesterday, and Golf-wise I made some mistakes, especially on the greens. But like everyone else: the greens were 4.20 m, so it was rolling hard, hard, hard. Already, 4.20 m in normal golf is not easy, but in speed golf we don't even talk about it! So everyone suffered, including me”relate-t-elle. “Today, I wanted to go faster and take a few hits off my score, and that's what I did, so I'm very happy with my second day. So no regrets, even if there were a few mistakes. I was hoping to grab one or two places with this good score, but I wasn't the only one to play better, so it wasn't enough. Despite everything, I am very happy to be on the podium! » With a total of 265.40, the 25-year-old Frenchwoman therefore took 3rd place in these Worlds, behind the New Zealander Liz McKinnon (260.01) and the Japanese Meguna Haga (264.47).
