Going Against America’s Best Nelly Korda and Rose Zhang at the $2.35M Event, Canadian Crowd’s Favorite Is ‘Excited’ to Use Her Mighty Weapon

The second LPGA Tour tournament of the month is here, and it is all set to happen in Vancouver, Canada. Earlier this month, the AIG Women’s Open got over with Lilia Vu taking home a whopping $1.35 Million in prize money.

Following a three-year wait, the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club is hosting the CPKC Women’s Open again, and Canadian golf fans can’t wait for all the action. After finishing second in the recent Amundi Evian Championship, this Canadian Crowd’s favorite player revealed her strategy for facing the upcoming tournament. Let’s look at what she has in store for this week’s game.

2x Major winner reveals the key to success on this course

Brooke Henderson recently finished second in the Amundi Evian Championship, playing it as the defending champion. She will take on the likes of Nelly Korda and Rose Zhang for the CPKC Women’s Open this week. Notably, Nelly Korda tied for the second position in the CPKC last year.

Rose Zhang has played six tournaments this season so far, all in the past three months since June. Of the six tournaments, she finished in the top ten positions in four tournaments. Among the four was the Mizhuho Americas Open Championship, in which she bagged the title. With Korda and Zhang in terrific forms, the contest is going to be nail-biting. 

Speaking of practice, Henderson seemed to have a pretty good assessment of the course and the conditions. She stated that she had seen all eighteen holes during practice and that the condition was amazing. 

The 25-year-old then spoke about what is going to be the most crucial aspect of the game this week. “I think ball striking is something definitely going to be a big key here.”  

The two-time major winner further explained the reason skilled ball striking would be a deadly weapon in the tournament. “The fairways are pretty tight and the greens are pretty small, so ball striking will definitely be very important and a big key.”

Moving on to her form, let’s look at how Henderson has faired with her performances this season.

Brooke Henderson’s performance in this season so far 

Henderson has played over 20 tournaments since she played in the CP Women’s Open last year. The 25-year-old finished in the top 30 positions, 13 times this season until now. Of the 13, nine times she finished in the top 15. This includes her winning the title at the HGV Tour of Champions tournament. And of course, she finished second in the Amundi Evian Championship recently.

The stats look quite promising and the star seems all charged up for the big clash this Thursday. The 13-time LPGA Tour winner has two major titles to her name. Will she move past the special number 13 this week? We will have to wait until this Sunday to find out.

The roster of the Championship looks quite impressive. Who are you most excited about this week? Let us know in the comments below.
