Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Brooke Henderson. Obviously two-time winner of this event. You know how to make birdies when you need them. Finished strong out there today. Tell me about your round.

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I got off to a good start. I was 2-under through the front nine and that was pretty exciting. The back nine got a lot windier and I was kind of feeling it a little bit more, so I had a few bogeys there that I would like to take back.

It was nice to finish with the two birdies 17 and 18 and move into the weekend with a little bit of momentum.

Q. Three in a row. Get a little fire in your belly to finish strong.

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, that was really unfortunate, but like I said, it was really nice to finish with two birdies to kind of get it back on track and good momentum, and hopefully just continue to make a lot of birdies this weekend.

If the wind is up bogeys are going to happen, so you're just going to have to make a lot of birdies to counter them.

Q. What have you figured out about the golf course playing in these conditions?

BROOKE HENDERSON: It can be challenging and you kind of have to be smart where you attack and where you play safe and par is good.

You know, tomorrow is moving day, so I would like to be aggressive so hopefully I can get a good strategy together with Brit and my coach, my dad, and hopefully have a good day tomorrow.

Q. Finally, I know obviously this week is important, looking ahead to next week as well. What are you seeing from your game that has you feeling confident right now?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, it's nice to be playing all four rounds here this week, and hopefully get something going here the next two days.

But I'm really looking forward to our first major of the year. New venue and lots of new and exciting things about it, so I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully have the game in top shape starting next Thursday.
