Whenever Brooke gets to a consuming turn during tournaments, she finds her sister there to support her to make the right choices. “Brit was really key, reminding me that ‘we’re still in it, just relax and hit good shots. Try to hit fairways, try to hit greens. Just keep it simple.’” Brooke explained.
