Reigning champion Brooke Henderson stays in contention at CP Women’s Open
AURORA, Ont. — After Brooke Henderson birdied No. 15 she stood back from the green to check her notes and watch groupmates Stacy Lewis and Min-Jee Lee finish the hole.
A small voice behind her called her name and she turned, giving a smile and a quick fist bump to a young fan decked out in red and white golf gear. Then it was back to work for Henderson as she tried to stay in contention at the CP Women’s Open on Friday.
“Sometimes you just see a little kid smiling at you and wanting a high five, and it takes you out of the moment for a second,” said Henderson by the practice green at Magna Golf Club. “I feel like that’s good. Kind of brings you back to real life, I guess you could say.
“They just have so much belief in you, and I think that kind of inspires me a little bit.”
