Q. Brooke, defending champion here. Part of quite a trio today groups alongside Dylan Dreyer and John Smoltz. How would you describe playing alongside them today?

BROOKE HENDERSON: This tournament is so much fun. You get great pairings and great players and personalities. It was a lot of fun out there.

Started making some birdies on the back nine which made the day even better.

Q. We talked a moment ago. Sometimes you got to find your groove, especially after having bit of a break. How were you able to do that today?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Shaking off some rust. You can play as much golf non-competitively, but when you get into the competitive rounds it's so much different. So trying to get back into the groove of things.

The front nine maybe even par, a little bit up and down, but the back nine started to feel more like myself. I'm excited for the next three days?

Q. You've obviously had success here before. What have you learned that you need to do well around here to give yourself a chance here?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I love this golf course. Lake Nona is beautiful and always in amazing condition. I feel like the biggest think the next two days is going to be the weather and the temperature. It's going to drop a little bit and get windy and maybe some rain too, so all of it.

So just being prepared for it. Have to tough it out a little bit.
