Asked if she was feeling any extra pressure playing on home ground, Henderson said, "Absolutely, yeah, absolutely. I feel like I've handled it pretty well so far. I think now that the cut is kind of over with, I can focus on my game and try to shoot maybe 4- or 5-under these next two and see if I can be in the top 10 or just climb that leaderboard a little bit more.
"I know everybody's out here looking to support me, to cheer me on," she added "I know they're all on my side. I just, you know, I want to perform to the best of my abilities. I was a little disappointed yesterday after the way I played. Early in the round today I was as well. But I was able to turn it around. I knew they were right behind me the whole way."
