Earl Grey Golf Club

Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Brooke the score is a little lower, lowest of the week. How does the round feel overall?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, six birdies on the card today so that feels really great. Unfortunately had three bogeys there, too. Hopefully just go out tomorrow, make similar amount of birdies, eliminate some bogeys.

I feel like we'll climb up the leaderboard pretty fast.

Q. Did you feel like there was a low round -- obviously we've seen a 61 today. Besides that, does it feel like there is one waiting for you?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I think so. I think if things start to click you can start to go low. This is still a tough golf course. Even though the wind was down, you still have to pick your way around and there is better misses than other misses.

The low score is definitely out there. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.

Q. How frustrating is that when you sort of get close but you can't...(indiscernible)

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I've been so close. The six birdies as I mentioned was a lot of fun. Crowd was amazing and so much energy, and I'm glad I was able to make some birdies for them.

It's amazing to feel this loved. Hopefully tomorrow I can turn it over, make a few more birdies, climb up the leaderboard, and make it really fun for everybody.

Q. There was two occasions some loudmouth yelled out, get in the hole, and on both of those occasions your ball went in the hole. Maybe we should take that guy around for all 18.

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, for sure. Maybe he should come along with me all the time. Definitely did help. Just everyone has been so supportive. It's amazing to, like I said, feel this kind of love.

Just looking forward to tomorrow.

Q. Brooke, very solid day out there. How would you assess your round?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, solid is a really good word for it. It was really fun to make six birdies today. That was great. Unfortunately had three bogeys, so only shot 3-under.

I feel like I'm very close, and hopefully just go out tomorrow and make a couple birdies quickly and start to climb the leaderboard.

Q. Do you think this week has been maybe a bit of a microcosm of your season as a whole where you're trying to get over the hump?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. It's kind of how it felt all year. I've been so close to posting a lot of low scores and really being at the top of the leaderboard almost every week, but it's just not quite there yet.

But we're trending in the right direction and just got to keep going. Hopefully it'll turn over here soon.

Q. The Rink hole, you nailed an awesome birdie on that one. Obviously a lot fan support this week and every time you tee it up at the CPKC Women's Open. To do something special like that, how did that feel?

BROOKE HENDERSON: I just feel so loved. It's an incredible feeling. Just so much fun to play in front of everybody, and everyone has been so supportive. I didn't know if everyone would be out there today supporting me because I was a little bit far back, but they were.

I look forward to playing in front of them tomorrow and hopefully I can make it really exciting for them.
