CN CANADIAN WOMEN'S OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP


August 23, 2013


Brooke Henderson


EDMONTON, ALBERTA

Q.  How was your play today?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  It started out a little rough.  Was able to come back on the back nine a little bit and make some birdies, but just a little bit of putting out there, missed a couple.

Q.  But you've been having a great season too?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  Yeah, it's been so much fun this season.  I've been able to play the U.S. Open in Manulife, and this is my third LPGA Tour event this year, so it's been a lot of fun.

Q.  What's it like, I mean, this year you're kind of the youngest person on the Tour, aren't you?  Pretty close.
BROOKE HENDERSON:  I'm not sure.  Maybe.

Q.  What's that like for you?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  It's cool.  I get to look up to a lot of people.  Get to watch what they're doing and just gain a lot of experience from them.

Q.  Seeing Lydia Ko win this last year, where were you last year and how did that hit you?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  She's an amazing player.  She's definitely a person I look up to.  I like to watch when she's practicing.  She's a great player, and hopefully I can be like her someday.

Q.  For the hopes of Canadians, you know, where do you want to be and what do you want to prove to Canadians?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  I'd love to play on the LPGA Tour in the future and have a good career out of it.  Definitely the Canadian game is growing a lot, and it would be great to see some up‑and‑coming stars do really well.

Q.  What inspired you or what inspires you?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  I grew up watching my older sister, Brittany.  She was a huge role model for me.  I watched her play a lot of events, and just looking at these girls out here like Michelle and Becky who I played with today, they're just so good and I want to be like them.

Q.  You think 4 will hold up cut‑wise?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  I'm not sure.  I was pushing it the last there trying to get a couple more.  We'll see.  I hope it does, fingers crossed.

Q.  I mean, that would be huge for you.  You've made cuts before, but this one, I think, this time would be pretty big?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  Yeah, the Canadian Open is a pretty big deal to me.  It would be awesome to be able to play the weekend, but so far it's been a lot of fun.

Q.  When do you start back in school?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  The 3rd of September.

Q.  What grade is that?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  11th.

Q.  Are you looking at colleges yet?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  Yep, I'm looking at a couple.

Q.  What is your plan, driving range or greens or just sort of wait it out?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  Yeah, I'll definitely practice.  Maybe some work on the greens.  But, yeah, hopefully, like I said, fingers crossed.  But playing conditions are pretty good out there so.

Q.  It's a lot different than yesterday morning with the scores?
BROOKE HENDERSON:  Yeah, for sure.
