Q. Special guest indeed. Canada's great champion, Brooke Henderson. I've got to ask you, how do you deal with -- because you're not only dealing with this week, but in two weeks playing for your country and that pressure. How do you handle that?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Oh, it's amazing. I take it as an honor. I'm very proud to be able to represent Canada. This week the fans have been truly phenomenal. Lost a couple at the turn there, but it's been amazing to see the love and the sport.

I'm just trying to play my best.

Q. Talk about this tournament in particular and the difficulty that this championship is presenting so far.

BROOKE HENDERSON: For sure. CPKC, they always pick tough golf courses, and this course is in great condition. It's a lot of fun to play. It's very, very windy today so just trying to make some adjustments and hit smart shots.

Q. When you talk about the golf in a couple weeks at the Olympics, when are you going to get there? What's your travel schedule?

BROOKE HENDERSON: I'm actually not getting there until Sunday, but will be able to watch the men's final round, which I think will be a lot of fun. See how the golf course is playing a little bit. Hopefully get some tips from Nick and Corey. They have been playing all week. I'm just really looking forward to the opportunity. It's very exciting.

Q. One last question: Talk about The Rink. It's a tradition in Canada. How exciting is that?

BROOKE HENDERSON: It's very cool. It's very loud and a lot of energy there. Makes it really fun for us players, and I think the fans enjoy it as well.
