Two Days, Two Wins: Brooke Henderson’s Team Takes CVS Classic

0

Canadian teenager Brooke Henderson snapped one of the most surprising winless streaks in golf on Sunday, notching her first LPGA victory of the year at the Mejier LPGA Classic for Simply Give in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by two strokes over Lexi Thompson and Michelle Wie.

It took just one day for her to win again.


Henderson teamed up with former PGA Champion Keegan Bradley and Champions Tour member/tournament host Billy Andrade to win Monday’s CVS Charity Classic in Barrington, Rhode Island.
