Q. All right, joining me here today after the second round of the CME Group Tour Championship is Brooke Henderson. Brooke, you mentioned yesterday that you actually spend some time in Florida nowadays. Is there something about Florida golf that you feel like either suits your game or is different from other stops on Tour?
BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, I live in Florida in the wintertime and I have lots of family and friends here, which makes it really nice and very comfortable. A lot of them are cheering me on here this week, which is really cool. I really fell in love with Florida golf. Especially this course, I feel like you can be pretty aggressive as long as the wind stays down. Just trying to take advantage where I can and trying to make some birdies.
Q. Yeah, you had a great round today and you have been pretty consistent ahead of your CPKC win and even after that as well. Is there something you feel like is going really well this season that you can look back on now that we're nearing the end?
BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, right before CPKC I started to play a little bit better, and obviously that week I found something really special which was amazing. I think ever since thin my game has been operating at a higher level. I've had more confidence and a little bit more momentum.
So I'm just trying to carry that through the rest of this season. So the last two rounds here, Grant Thornton in a couple weeks, and then hopefully carry on to 2026.
Yeah, just trying to make some small improvements and continue to get better.
Q. You are definitely not one of the older players on Tour by any means, but you've been here a few more time than a lot of the rookies on Tour that have been so successful. What are some things that playing in multiple Tour Championships has taught you or just prepared you for going into an event this big with such a large purse?
BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, for sure. I definitely feel more comfortable here now than I did the first couple years. I think just knowing the course a little bit better and understanding the stage a little bit more.
It's definitely more comfortable this year, which think is a really good thing. But it's a very exciting week and I'm grateful for the opportunity, and hopefully just finish strong the next two days. It's going to take some low scores to catch the leaders.
Q. You always have a huge fan base following you around no matter what tournament you're at. A lot of Canadians out there. What does it mean to have such a strong following at every tournament you go to?
BROOKE HENDERSON: Yeah, honestly it's amazing. I feel so much love and support no matter where I am, and especially here in south Florida; a lot of people come out and watch. Makes me really happy and feels really good. I feel like when I'm starting to make a bunch of birdies it kind of gives me that extra push to try to make a few more.
