Q. Here with Brooke Henderson. Brooke, that was fantastic to watch, bringing it into the clubhouse. Got to start with the best part, that hole-out from the bunker at 17. Talk us through it.

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I mean, I was really happy with where that drive ended up. When I got up to it I was thinking, oh, I can make this. I just tried to put a good swing on it. Landed exactly where I wanted it to and it fell in.

So definitely a dream way to finish and nice to have a clubhouse lead now going into the final round. We see seeing what everybody does coming in, but it was just a fun day and I'm look forward to tomorrow.

Q. Take you back to the opening day. Struggles early on. How big of a change from then to now, and how did you make it happen?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, for sure. I feel like the first day I grinded it out really well. I was really proud of Brit and I, how we fought back after that start. Yesterday was a lot fun getting to minus-5 and then today it was even more fun getting to minus-6.

It's just so exciting to be playing here this week. The crowds been phenomenal. Just so happy to be playing at home and hopefully just one more good day.

Q. You've won this championship before. You said coming into this week that you went back and watched old videos of yourself maybe playing in this championship, maybe not winning, but as a youngster playing. What did you learn and how has that made a difference this week?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I learned a lot actually. I really quite enjoyed watching old footage and even interviews of me talking in this championship. It's always been a really special week, and I feel like I've learned so much every single year playing in it. I was just trying to lean back on some times when I've had a lot of success here, what I did and the mentality I had going into it.

Yeah, feel like it's helped out this week so far and it's exciting to be in this position.
