Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Here with Brooke Henderson. As you walk off the green, let me know the feelings you have after a tough, hard-fought major championship.

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, today was really interesting. Definitely not my best stuff, which is a little disappointing, but Nelly played amazing, and what she's doing is pretty incredible. Congratulations to her, and I feel like I learned a lot this week. Yesterday was a lot of fun. Today maybe not so much fun. Definitely learning a lot, and I feel like my game is right there, so just got to keep going.

Q. What did it mean to bounce back after the double?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, it was kind of just weird. I should have been almost making eagle, and instead I walked away with double. It was definitely unfortunate but I'm proud of the way I made two birdies back-to-back, got things under control a little bit. Would have liked to make a few more birdies, especially on the back nine, make her a little bit more nervous than she was, but overall it was a great championship. Start of the week coming in saying I would have had a top 3, I definitely would have taken it.

Q. I know how much major championships mean to you. How much confidence does something like this give you with the rest of the season ahead?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, it's great to be contending and in the final group. It's so much fun. The crowds were amazing all week, and just to kind of be in it and to feel that kind of adrenaline and excitement is really awesome. So hopefully I can just, like I said, keep moving forward. My game is right there. Just need a couple breaks and fine-tune a few things, and hopefully I'll be able to lift a trophy soon.

Q. When will we see you next?

BROOKE HENDERSON: I'm not playing next week, so I've got a week off. I'm really excited. But I'll be in New Jersey.
