KPMG WOMEN'S PGA CHAMPIONSHIPJune 30, 2017Brooke HendersonOlympia Fields, Illinois Q. I thought you did a great job of adjusting to the changing conditions after the rain delay, because it looked like the greens slowed down and your putter just caught fire. BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, for sure. It was a lot different than it was yesterday. The balls are holding. No wind; I couldn't carry some bunkers today with my driver. The fairways were holding, as well, and the greens slowed down, like you said. It was a different golf course out there today. But it was nice not having the wind swirling around all the time, and like you said, I made a lot of putts to keep myself in it today. Then made one or two putts when I really needed it to get me under par. So great day overall. Q. What did you have in on 18 to set up the eagle? BROOKE HENDERSON: I hit my hybrid, so it was like 197 pin and I was just trying to land it over the front, which I did, and was able to knock it in. Q. Ten feet? BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, it was nine feet. Q. Is 18 you think a really important hole because it's so scorable? BROOKE HENDERSON: Absolutely. And it kind of gives you a little bit of confidence, because coming through 17, you tend to lose a lot of it. Then you know that you have a chance to get one stroke back or hopefully two if you play it right. Q. But does that mean 17, like a par there, just feels even better? BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, you know, 17 is a really tough hole. And I haven't played it quite right yet. Yesterday wasn't a great tee shot. Hopefully tomorrow I can get that tee shot on the green. Then it's not necessarily an easy 2-putt, but you're looking better for par, if you can just at least hit the green there. Q. Got to like where you sit, 2-under today, get yourself near the lead going into the weekend of a major championship. BROOKE HENDERSON: It's been a great last two days. I would have liked to have seen one or two of those putts fall on 8 and 9 there, but I gave myself great opportunities, and that's all you can do around here. So hopefully my putter stays hot and keeps me in it over the next two days, and hopefully I have a chance on Sunday. Q. Now you're ready for whatever conditions Olympia Fields presents; you've seen it all pretty much the first two days. BROOKE HENDERSON: For sure. I was glad to see that storm pass and it became beautiful outside. Hopefully it will be two good days and hopefully the wind won't be too strong. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
