LPGA: Brooke Henderson makes history with win in Canada
Henderson becomes first Canadian to win country's national championship in 45 years.
Brooke Henderson became the first Canadian to win the country's national championship in 45 years, closing with a 7-under 65 for a four-stroke victory Sunday in the CP Women's Open at chilly Wascana Country Club.
The 20-year-old Henderson, from Smiths Falls, Ontario, finished at 21-under 267, capping the emotional victory with a short birdie putt on the par-4 18th.
Jocelyne Bourassa is the only other Canadian to win the national championship, accomplishing the feat in 1973 at Montreal Municipal in the inaugural La Canadienne - the event that became the major du Maurier Classic, then the current non-major in 2001.
Henderson earned $337,500 for her second victory of the season and seventh of her LPGA Tour career, one short of Sandra Post's record for Canadians.
Angel Yin was second after a 68. Jennifer Song (67) was six back at 15 under.
