Brooke Henderson primed for National Championship run

On Monday at Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, local favorite and World No. 10 Brooke Henderson hosted the inaugural “Brooke and Friends Pro-Am,” featuring 15 of her fellow LPGA pros, retired Ottawa Senators Daniel Alfredsson and Chris Phillips, and several lucky amateurs. The event raised funds for the Golf Canada Foundation, benefitting their player engagement and junior golf programs, and the Team Henderson Foundation, benefiting the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. And if the scores of fans lining the fairways on a day where the scores didn’t even count is a sign, the CP Women’s Open is in for a packed week. “I was out with my group and we were having fun, and all of a sudden there were hundreds of people watching, and it was a Monday Pro-Am,” said Henderson, a CP ambassador who is playing in her sixth CP Women’s Open. “Still like four days away from competition, and they were out there cheering me on. It was kind of relaxing. It kind of got my mindset on I can handle this.”
