Women's Australian Open: Céline Boutier and Perrine Delacour play the leading roles in Adelaide
Fourth at -10, five strokes behind leader Inbee Park, the two French women are at the top of the leaderboard of the Women's Australian Open, before the last lap this Sunday.
With a little imagination, one could almost hear the Marseillaise singing on the fairways of the Royal Adelaide, in the south-west of Australia. The best card of the day (67) was signed this Saturday by Perrine Delacour who, thanks to 7 birdies (for a bogey), dates back to the 4e place of the Women's Australian Open.

The native of Saint-Cloud joined his compatriot Céline Boutier, still as solid on southern lands with a single bogey in the last two laps and two consecutive birdies in 12 and 13.

To hope to dream even bigger, the two French women will have 5 shots to catch up on the South Korean Inbee Park, imperial still on the greens today, like this 13-meter putt for birdie entered at the last hole.

“I had similar putts yesterday that didn't come in, today they did, underlines the seven-time winner in major, who has not won on the LPGA circuit for almost two years. I will have a lot of pressure tomorrow, but it will be a fun day to live. I love the course and the atmosphere here. My caddy and my physio are Australian, I hope we will have the opportunity to have a nice party tomorrow. "
