Brooke Henderson

Mixed Zone

Q. (Regarding her sister and niece.)

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yes. Yeah, like every day. Yeah, it's really exciting.

Q. Is that just keeping you like want to be home? I guess also you're on the road, aren't you?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I was home for about two weeks which was really nice, so I got to be with her quite a bit.

Q. Got to switch off and just have family time?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yes. So it was really cool.

Q. Because it is really bunched up, isn't it, like the majors?

BROOKE HENDERSON: The majors, yeah. My last three tournaments have all been majors, yeah.

Q. Yeah. And how did you feel today getting round?

BROOKE HENDERSON: It was good. I just kind of finished poorly so kind of leaves a sting. Otherwise I played really well.

Q. And Haeran, obviously played with her on the Sunday and she has a three-, four-shot lead now. What was the experience like playing with her and what sort of qualities does she have on the golf course?

BROOKE HENDERSON: She's playing really well right now. I mean, it's cool to see. Three majors in a row almost so that's pretty cool.

I feel like just her ball striking is in a really good spot. She's always been a really good ball striker, and then her putting has been able to match. She's all around playing great. I mean, you don't finish that well three weeks in a row without playing awesome.

Q. (No microphone) It's been so short.

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I feel like it always favors the people playing well right at the time, so everyone I think is trying to peak during those weeks and she's been able to do it.

Q. So not your first time at the links, the AIG. What's different this week in terms of conditions, in terms of...

BROOKE HENDERSON: I really love this golf course. I think it's really awesome. The weather has been great so far. It's been super windy and a little cold I guess, but overall compared to other years I played over year it's wonderful.

Just been really grateful for that. I mean, I'm just really happy to be playing the weekend here. I was hoping to climb up a little bit more than I did today, but that's what Sunday is for.

Q. Is that something that you're doing, trying to manage expectations to help you play better?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I think so. Out here anything can happen at any time to anybody, so just trying to play smart the best you can and then when you can make birdie, try and capitalize.

I have not made a lot this week but I also haven't made a ton of bogeys either, so hopefully tomorrow maybe play a little bit more aggressively and see if we can climb.

Q. (Regarding Evian.)

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, that's right. That's right. Awesome. Thank you guys.
