Canada’s Brooke Henderson Seeks Repeat in CPKC Women’s Open
The two-time champion will try to join Pat Bradley and Meg Mallon as the only three-time winners in tournament history.
Starting Thursday at Edmonton's Royal Mayfair Club, 28-year-old Brooke Henderson will attempt her third CPKC Women's Open title in the 52nd edition of Canada's national tournament, featuring 156 professionals and amateurs including 15 Canadians.
New Zealand's Lydia Ko, 29, returns to chase an unprecedented fourth victory after winning in 2012, 2013, and 2015. Ko said the tournament "has meant a lot to my career."
The US$2.75 million tournament includes six of the world's top 10 golfers, including Nelly Korda. Henderson, who tied for 29th at the AIG Women's Open, said recent major finishes gave her "a lot of confidence and a lot momentum."
Seventeen-Year-Old Anna Huang recently won her fourth Ladies European Tour tournament in less than a year. Competitors are bracing for mosquitoes, with Henderson noting, "Everyone's finding it very buggy so far."
Organizers hope to match the record attendance of 73,000 set in 2024 at Earl Grey Golf Club. Edmonton has received 56 centimetres of rain since June 1, with showers forecast for Saturday night.
