A paragon of parity, the LPGA Tour has now had 15 different golfers win the 15 events that have been held in the 2017 season.

 
This week’s new winner? Brooke Henderson, a 19-year-old from Canada who emerged from a crowded leaderboard in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to claim victory at the Meijer LPGA Classic For Simply Give.

A final round 3-under 66 (flooding changed par mid-tournament) allowed Henderson to reach -21 for the week, which was two strokes better than notable Americans Michelle Wie and Lexi Thompson.

Henderson’s fourth career victory spoiled the No. 1 ranking debut of Ariya Jutanugarn, who passed Lydia Ko just last week after Ko held the top spot for the previous 85.

Bullets

• Brooke Henderson, who came into the week ranked 15th in the world, a considerable drop after reaching #2 at one point in 2016. Henderson got back on the winner’s board in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she was the leader after both 18 and 36 holes.
• Henderson finished two strokes ahead of Lexi Thompson, who continued her difficulty closing rounds (she also lead after 54-holes before dropping last week) and Michelle Wie, who is in the midst of a remarkable comeback season.
• The Meijer Classic marked the first tournament at #1 in the world for Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn, who passed Lydia Ko after he victory a week ago at the LPGA Manulife Classic.
• Jutanugarn posted 69-69-64-69 to finish T22, her worst result since January.
• Ko, playing for the first time in nearly a month, was T10. Despite the difference on the leaderboard, Jutanugarn will stay at world #1.
• Par was changed from 71 to 69 for the final two rounds, as standing water on the fifth hole forced a change from a par-5 to a par-3.

Quotable

“It was really tough today. To shoot 3-under and I don’t think I had any bogeys today either, which was great. The wind really picked up. I was kind of surprised when I looked at the leaderboard and I had a two-shot lead on the 18th green. Super happy and I’m just glad it’s done and I finally have my fourth win.”
