Instead of the usual 72 holes, the event will be played over only 54 holes this week. Last year, Canadian golfer Brooke M. Henderson showed her remarkable skills and won the title with a final round score of 12-under-par. In a playoff, she triumphed over Lindsey Weaver-Wright. Henderson has participated in this competition every year since she made her debut, and this year’s viewers can anticipate seeing her play in full swing to defend her title.
