Brooke Henderson shares ‘one of the goals’ in golf tournament as she prepares for the CPKC Women’s Open’s final round

Brooke Henderson found herself in contention for the CPKC Women's Open title after three rounds. The LPGA Tour pro tied for the lead with Minjee Lee at 11-under ahead of the final round.

She opened up about her performances in Canada in the post-round press conference on Saturday and shared her happiness to put forward an amazing performance for her fans. She said (via ASAP Sports):

"The crowds have been so phenomenal all week, and today starting out on the first tee because I was near the final groups, it was really exciting and a lot of energy. I feel like I was playing pretty well today, so the crowd continued to grow and grow."

"It was fun to give them some things to cheer about. That's always the goal, one of the goals. Yeah, so today was a great day and I'm just really excited to head into tomorrow in a good spot and hopefully put up a good number," she added.

Playing on her home soil, Brooke Henderson is the fans’ favorite player for the week. She started the third round on the first tee hole with a birdie, followed by a bogey on the second hole. She added two more birdies on the front nine and three birdies, an eagle, and a bogey on the back nine for a score of 11-under.
