Quick Quotes

Q. Brooke, nice round today. Couple under par.

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, it was good. Definitely better than yesterday, which is what I was going for. It was nice. I started to hit the ball a little bit better. Worked with Brit yesterday on the range and got some things sorted, and just nice to hit a lot of fairways and greens and gave myself a lot of opportunities for birdie.

Q. What did you find different about yesterday and today on the golf course?

BROOKE HENDERSON: I was definitely hitting it better. Got a lot of confidence back, which is nice. Also it was just playing a lot easier today. It wasn't nearly as cold or as windy as yesterday morning, and I feel like they moved some tees around so there was definitely some birdies out there.

Q. Last one from me. Looks like you're in about the top 20 at this point as we speak, a little bit back of the lead. Does that give you a thought of getting aggressive tomorrow?

BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I think here you just have to really play smart, and when the opportunity presents itself, then you can attack and make birdies. Otherwise you kind of just staying patient and playing smart.

Yeah, the lead is a little out of my reach now I believe, but get a solid round in tomorrow, make a few birdies, I can scare some people. (Laughter.)
