Q. Let's start with the birdie on 11, nice long 15-footer?
BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, it was a little longer than that. It was nice to get started on the day with a birdie, even though I gave it back on the next hole. It was still nice to get under par early.
Q. You finished with two straight birdies to end the round, some good momentum, kind of found what you were hoping to start the tournament with?
BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, for sure. I wanted to get off to a faster start, have a good day today, and I felt like I accomplished that, which I'm really happy about, and I'm excited for the next three days.
I putted really well today, which gives me a lot of confidence moving forward, and hopefully I can just hit a few more greens tomorrow and give myself some good looks, hopefully roll in a few more birdies.
Q. Having not seen this course in two years, what did it play like from what you remembered about it in the past?
BROOKE HENDERSON: Well, one thing coming back here is it's not as stressful object the practice round days because you know what to expect, so it was really nice. I feel like we're really familiar with this golf course, and we kind of know where to hit it and where to miss it, which is really important, especially here with all the hills and slopes that the greens have. But I felt like we just need to do a little bit better job of adapting to the release on the course, and I think if it rains this weekend then it won't be releasing as much, but maybe tomorrow in the afternoon might have to account for a little bit more.
