Canadian athletes across the sports world are thriving, but none are rewriting the history books like Brooke Henderson. The 21-year-old is now just one title away from becoming the winningest Canadian professional golfer of all time. (via adam_stanley)
After winning the Sandra Post Medal as low Canadian at the 2017 CP Women’s Open, Brooke Henderson turned to Post herself and said she would get her name on the tournament’s trophy one day.Since that day, Henderson captured the CP Women’s Open title in August — fulfilling a childhood dream of winning her national open — and after defending her title at the Lotte Championship in Hawaii Saturday, she tied Post for the most victories by a Canadian all-time on the LPGA Tour.
“My last win was in 1981… that was another century. I think it’s OK to move on,” Post told Sportsnet, with a laugh, by phone while watching the final round on TV. Post said Henderson, when she first burst onto the LPGA Tour scene, clearly liked the professional golf life. Being a pro golfer suited her, said Post. She won her first event before even being a full-fledged LPGA Tour member, and Post said she clearly belonged.
On Saturday Sharp saw Henderson was leading and returned to the golf course from the hotel in Hawaii after finishing her round earlier in the day. She told Sportsnet it was for a simple reason. The two represented Canada at the 2016 Olympics together and Sharp said what Henderson has accomplished in such a short time as a professional has been “amazing.”
