LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY HERSHEYApril 14, 2018Brooke HendersonKapolei, Oahu, Hawaii TV Q. Sixth victory on the LPGA Tour. Brooke Henderson, was this tournament in some ways mentally tougher on you than the others? BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, you know the wind conditions were incredible. It was so windy every single day. I think Brit and I did such as amazing job of adjusting and calculating yardages. My sixth win on tour. I'm so happy. This is another dream come true. I really couldn't have done it without my sister, Brit. Watching Pernilla Lindberg win her first major I guess to weeks ago now was a lot of motivation and really inspired me. I watched the playoff, and the grit and determination that she had, I was like, I can do that, too. So I kind of owe a lot to her this week. Q. You mentioned that you had to dig deep yesterday. Few doubts crept in. Today a few glimpses of that. How deep did you have to dig? BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, you know, I just had to overcome that. Fortunately I was able to do that. There were a couple times I was a little bit shaky with it, but I remembered all the great putting I did the first two days. Just tried to be calm, relaxed, and just see the line and hit it there. I made quite a few good putts coming in, so I'm happy. Q. I got a Twitter message from some folks in Ontario. It was an ice storm there. What is about this place you love? BROOKE HENDERSON: I love it here. It's really amazing. The energy and the fun atmosphere and just how beautiful it is. I have played well here in the past, so I knew coming in I might have a good shot at it. So I'm really happy about it. Q. Tee to green might have been best we've seen you play. You feel that way? BROOKE HENDERSON: Absolutely, yeah. I hit it great this week, even with all the wind and everything. I feel like all year my ball striking has been really awesome. It's just kind of my putting I've been working on. This week maybe wasn't my best, but I still won. Q. You sure did, and you showed a lot of grit in doing some. Does this change any of your confidence or goals for the rest of the year? BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, absolutely. I would love to win a few more times out here. I know it's extremely tough. Every single week there are so many talented players. I'm just happy that I'm one of them. Hopefully I can contend a little bit more. The sky is the limit. Q. And last question. Your parents aren't here this week. How will you celebrate? BROOKE HENDERSON: Might go swim in the ocean. That sounds pretty fun. I think just enjoy it. Sixth win on tour, it's really amazing, and I really couldn't have done it without Brit. There has also been that really bad accident that happened a couple weeks ago, I guess last week, in Saskatchewan. I just tried to stay strong for them, and I would like to dedicate this win to them as well. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
