REGINA, Saskatchewan | Canadian star Brooke Henderson wins CP Women's Open

REGINA, Saskatchewan— Brooke Henderson became the first Canadian to win the country’s national championship in 45 years, closing with a 7-under 65 for a four-stroke victory Sunday in the CP Women’s Open at chilly Wascana Country Club.

The 20-year-old Henderson, from Smiths Falls, Ontario, finished at 21-under 267, capping the emotional victory with a short birdie putt on the par-4 18th.

Jocelyne Bourassa is the only other Canadian to win the national championship, accomplishing the feat in 1973 at Montreal Municipal in the inaugural La Canadienne — the event that became the major du Maurier Classic, then the current non-major in 2001.

Henderson earned $337,500 for her second victory of the season and seventh of her LPGA Tour career, one short of Sandra Post’s record for Canadians.

Angel Yin was second after a 68. Jennifer Song (67) was six back at 15 under.

Announcing the Second Cohort of Desmos Fellows

Last August we welcomed 39 teachers to the first cohort of our Desmos fellowship. Our goal for that program was simple. We wanted to bring together some of the most interesting, talented, and diverse math educators we could find. Then we wanted to support and learn from them however we could.

Some of that support happened over a weekend retreat in November full of professional learning, collaboration, community, and good food. We carried that community forward onto the internet after our weekend retreat where we support our fellows remotely, through Slack, and email, and direct communication with anyone on the Desmos team.

Let’s be clear: as hard as we try to support the Desmos Fellowship, we receive just as much as we give. The Desmos fellows keep us connected to the classroom and students. They use our tools in ways we never imagined and their reports from their classrooms improve our work immeasurably. The fellows receive a preview of nearly every new feature we release at Desmos and their feedback always improves the public release.

Given the success of our first cohort, how could we not invite a second?

National title drives Brooke Henderson into Canadian golf lore

REGINA – The long drought was ended in a prairie rain storm. Oddly fitting, no?

Brooke Henderson's victory on Sunday at the CP Women's Open at Wascana Country Club ended a 45-year run of Canadians finishing outside the winner's circle since Jocelyne Bourassa's victory at La Canadienne in 1973.

"I always dreamt of doing this, but I didn't know if it would ever happen," said Henderson on the 18th green, letting her guard down a bit not to reveal doubt necessarily, but to acknowledge how much of a Herculean task it was to win the national championship.

This was no tepid performance; Henderson fired a seven-under-par 65 for a four-round number of 267 (21-under)—an unbelievable score given the varying scoring conditions and the hoopla that surrounded her all week.

The 20-year-old Canadian captured shot a 7-under final round to win the CP Women's Open. She's just the 2nd Canadian to win the tournament and the first since Jocelyne Bourassa in 1973 1:31

Henderson started the week as the tournament's starlet and became its unquestioned star. Her face adorned everything from hotel key cards, to fan shuttles, to downtown signage in this prairie city.

"I'm now the national champion and that's pretty cool," she said, two weeks short of her 21st birthday.

Rarely in doubt

Henderson started the day with a one-shot lead and though she was once tied early on, she snatched back the momentum soon after.

In a sport famous for its heartbreaks, including a few with a Maple Leaf attached to it, Henderson played the back nine as though she was having a leisurely stroll in the Regina rain.

The chase pack included Angel Lin, a 19-year-old from Monterrey Park, Calif., who was playing with Henderson in the final group. Yin, a Solheim Cup champion from last summer, did her best to keep her playing partner in sight but Henderson seemed to barely notice.

Yin made three straight birdies on the back nine.

Henderson responded with four.

"I put up a good fight, I got it going but Brooke was playing extremely well," said Yin. "I gave it my best."

Playing a hole ahead of Henderson was Su Oh, an Aussie upstart, who made eagle on the par 5, 14th to get it to 15-under. The chase pack grew, sure, but there was no catching Henderson. Oh eventually tied for fourth, seven shots back of the winner.

Long journey arrives at peak

Hindsight can sometimes be bent to fit certain narratives but there was a degree of destiny to Henderson breaking the 45-year hex since Bourassa's victory. She first burst onto the scene as a 14-year-old when she won a Canadian Women's Tour event against a field that included this country's best female players and a handful of LPGA veterans.

And while it may sound odd to say that a young kid was on a long journey, the six years that followed her first star tun on the national stage followed a steady path.

It hasn't all been champagne and lollypops – there were whispers that she should be higher on the world rankings and a bit more accommodating to fans and media when things weren't going well, for example—but for the most part the plucky kid grew into a business-like champion before the country's eyes.

It was also an emotional ride in both the long view and the short one. Henderson fought back tears during her trophy presentation and later when she talked about her grandfathers, who both died this summer. There were more than a few tears from others: Golf Canada officials could be seen crying after her win and Canadian Golf Hall of Famer Gail Graham, doing the network broadcast, was a teary-eyed picture of joy as Henderson putted out.

Everyone seemed to understand the significance of what Henderson was doing: as she walked up 18, a flock of Canada geese took flight but gave the 18th fairway a wide berth—it was like the birds didn't want to soil the moment.

New national hero

Sunday's victory was Henderson's seventh, including a major championship won two years ago at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Sandra Post won eight times, a major included, but women's golf is a far different animal now.

There is little doubt that Henderson's achievement has now put her on her own level among Canadian women, one that is now approaching Mike Weir's eight PGA Tour titles, Masters included, as the best golfer this country has ever produced.

"It can be easy in this country to make a hockey comparison," said another Canadian Hall of Famer, Lorie Kane, who came close twice in this tournament. "But what Brooke did today was like my Toronto Maple Leafs winning the Stanley Cup."

That's a picture that may grate for some but consider this one: large groups of fans lingered on Sunday, including many kids waiting to get a glimpse of Henderson. A group of young boys, previously clad in Rider green, shed their jerseys to put on "Team Henderson" t-shirts.

There was a new national hero in their midst.

With Canada behind her, Henderson eyes history

The Brooke Henderson show is setting up for a dramatic conclusion Sunday at the CP Women’s Open.

Who’s going to catch her?

The popular Canadian is right where she wants to be going into the final round, right where a legion of Canadian supporters want her.

With a 2-under-par 70 on an unseasonably cool Saturday, Henderson moved to the top of the leaderboard, one shot ahead of Nasa Hataoka (69) and Angel Yin (71) and two in front of Rolex world No. 1 Sung Hyun Park (70).

“I'm definitely in a good position heading into the final round, which is very exciting,” Henderson said. “I feel like the crowds this week have been totally amazing, and I've been playing well for them. So, I'm happy about that.”

Canada is behind Henderson, with big crowds expected for the final round, to see if she can become the first Canadian to win the country’s national championship since Jocelyne Bourassa won the inaugural event in 1973.

“The crowds are pretty insane,” said Lydia Ko, who is four shots back after a 68. “I was just saying to Jodi [Ewart Shadoff], the crowds love their golf and love seeing the LPGA here. And, obviously, with Brooke being at the top of the leaderboard, I think that really helps to draw a lot of people in.”

Henderson, 20, started Saturday a shot back, but with cool winds and temperatures in the 50s early in the round, she took control with other contenders struggling. She kept herself out front with three consecutive birdies on the back nine and an important 25-foot par-saving putt at the 16th.

Full-field scores from the CP Women’s Open

“There's like a million players within five shots, so I definitely have to play my best and hopefully go low,” Henderson said.

Park is in position to win back-to-back LPGA titles and to win this event in back-to-back years. She won the Indy Women in Tech Championship last week and won the CP Women’s Open a year ago in Ottawa, an hour from Henderson’s home in Smiths Falls.

“I’m in a comfortable position,” Park said.

World No. 2 Ariya Jutanugarn started Saturday three shots off the lead but slipped five back with a 73.

With 10 players within four shots of her, Henderson said she can’t play defensive.

“I definitely do play better when I'm aggressive,” Henderson said. “I play smart but aggressive. When I'm kind of chasing birdies, I feel like that's where I'm playing my best.

“Just kind of depends on the conditions. If it's similar to today, I think I'll probably have to shoot 4- or 5-under, but if it goes back to kind of the calm conditions that it was earlier in the week, then it will have to be a lot better than that.”

Henderson has won three of the last four times she has held or shared the 54-hole lead in an LPGA event. She closed out to win going into the final round with the lead at the Lotte Championship in April but lost a one-shot lead going into the final round of the Marathon Classic last month, when Thidapa Suwannapura went on to beat Brittany Lincicome in a playoff.

REGINA, Saskatchewan | Brooke Henderson leads CP Women's Open, chasing home win

REGINA, Saskatchewan— Brooke Henderson took the lead into the final round of the CP Women’s Open, fighting through gusting wind Saturday at Wascana Country Club in pursuit of a breakthrough home victory.

The 20-year-old Canadian star shot a 2-under 70 in clear and cool conditions to reach 14-under 202. Jocelyne Bourassa is the only Canadian to win the national championship, accomplishing the feat in 1973 at Montreal Municipal in the inaugural La Canadienne.

Henderson won the LOTTE Championship in April in Hawaii for her sixth LPGA Tour title. She again attracted a large gallery, with fans lining the fairways to watch her.

Nasa Hataoka of Japan and American Angel Yin were a stroke back. Hataoka had a 69, and the long-hitting Yin shot 71. Yin played alongside Henderson in the final group.

Top-ranked Sung Hyun Parkwas 12 under after a 70. The South Korean star won last week in Indianapolis to match U.S. Women’s Open champion Ariya Jutanugarn for the tour victory lead with three.

Su Oh (69) and Austin Ernst (70) were 11 under, and three-time champion Lydia Ko (68) topped the group at 10 under.

REGINA, Saskatchewan | Yang leads CP Women's Open; Henderson shot back

REGINA, Saskatchewan — Any Yang shot a 7-under 65 on Friday to take the second-round lead in the CP Women’s Open, a stroke ahead of Canadian star Brooke Henderson and Angel Yin at Wascana Country Club.

Yang, the three-time LPGA Tour winner from South Korea, birdied four of the first five holes and finished with nine birdies and two bogeys. She had a 13-under 131 total.

The 20-year-old Henderson, from Smiths Falls, Ontario, had her second straight 66.

Jocelyne Bourassa is the only Canadian to win the national championship, accomplishing the feat in the inaugural 1973 La Canadienne at Montreal Municipal. Henderson won the LOTTE Championship in April in Hawaii for her sixth tour title.

Yin shot 67. She eagled the par-5 12th and closed with three straight birdies on Nos. 7-9.
