Q. How would you sum up your day today?
BROOKE HENDERSON: It was disappointing that I let some shots slip away, but looking at the leaderboard on 16 I was kind of relieved because everyone else seemed to be having some trouble too, so that made my feel a little bit better about myself.
Happy to get the birdie on 16 and hopefully raise some money. So that felt good.
Just try and take some positives out of the day. Obviously not what I was looking for, but hopefully just go out tomorrow and make some birdies.
Q. Is there any part of your game that you were frustrated by?
BROOKE HENDERSON: You know, it's not really clicking right now but I feel I'm kind of keeping it together the best I can.
Nothing is like super sharp right now, so just trying to grind it out. Felt like I got up and down a bunch today so that's another positive to take away.
Bottom line was I wasn't making birdies. This course is tough enough that you're going to make some bogeys out there, so you kind of need to counter that. So, tomorrow, more birdies.
Q. When you walked off the course how would you describe your emotion? Were you sad, disappointed, frustrated, mad?
BROOKE HENDERSON: I'm definitely very disappointed. I feel like it was a good opportunity today to go out and post a good number and be a little bit more in contention come tomorrow.
So it's disappointing. I feel like I'm a little bit upset with just how my game is right now. I'm also proud that I'm out here, playing the weekend, and with how things have been, I'm just grateful to be out here with all the love and support from all the fans.
They made me feel a lot better about myself walking up 18. There is so much love here and that really means a lot to me.
Q. Did you feel like you had to push today or were you just sticking to your game plan?
BROOKE HENDERSON: You know, I think at the beginning of the day I thought if I could make a bunch of birdies I could really climb up, which was a good feeling to have I think.
But the course -- the pins were tricky if you got to the wrong spots. This course, like if you hit it in the rough you're kind of screwed. I was in the rough a lot. I just kind of ham and egged it a little bit, got it around.
Obviously any time you're shooting over par doesn't feel great, but like I said, just try to go out tomorrow and make a few quick birdies.
Q. Does that play with you mentally knowing when you're standing on the tee...
BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, it can. I feel like you just can't really think that way. You just have to commit to your target, trust it the best you can, and execute the shot.
I think that's one thing that makes tight courses so tricky, is that starts to creep in, but you just got shut it down best you can.
