[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Brooke Henderson (Canada) wins in a playoff.


On the 13th (Korean time) at the Bay Course (par 71, 6,190 yards) of Seaview Golf Club in Galloway, New Jersey, USA, Brooke Henderson surged with a 7-under-par on the final day of the LPGA Tour ShopRite Classic (total prize money $1.75 million) to tie with Lindsey Weaver Wright (USA) at 12-under-par 201. Then, on the first hole of the playoff at the 18th hole (par 5), she made a 'winning eagle.' This is her 11th career victory, her first in 1 year and 2 months since the LA Open last April, with a winner's prize of $262,500 (336 million KRW).



Henderson debuted on the LPGA Tour in 2015 and is a star player representing Canada. As a former amateur 'number 1,' she became the first Canadian player in history to achieve 10 wins combined on the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour. She also competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics (tied 7th) and the 2021 Tokyo Olympics (tied 29th). Her older sister Brittany, who has experience playing on the LPGA Epson (2nd tier) Tour, is serving as her caddie.
