Henderson's Hat-Trick Pursuit
Brooke Henderson Gains Momentum, Aims for Third Canadian Women's Open Title
Anonymous
Canadian golf star Brooke Henderson is riding a wave of momentum heading into the CPKC Canadian Women's Open in Edmonton. The 28-year-old is chasing a third title at the event — a hat-trick — after winning it twice before, according to County Market.
Henderson's 2025 season started slowly, but recent results show she is back. She shot back-to-back 64s at the Evian Championship in France. Two weeks earlier, she finished tied for third at the KPMG Women's PGA at Hazeltine. Her game is trending up at just the right time, Brantford Expositor reported.
Henderson Chasing Rare Third Canadian Open Crown
Henderson won 12 LPGA trophies in an eight-year stretch from 2016 to 2023. Her two CPKC Canadian Women's Open titles are among the most prized. Now she wants a third. A hat-trick at her home country's biggest women's golf event would be historic, according to Fort Saskatchewan Record.
She last played in Edmonton as a 15-year-old amateur in 2013. This time, she arrives as a two-time champion with serious momentum. "My ball striking is in a better place again," Henderson said. She added that her game is "trending in the right direction."
Back-to-Back 64s Signal Henderson's Return to Form
After a tough start to 2025, Henderson's game is clicking again. Shooting 64 twice in a row at Evian is no small feat. The Evian Championship is one of the LPGA's five major tournaments. Her tied-third finish at the KPMG Women's PGA two weeks before that added more proof she is back, Whitecourt Star reported.
Henderson credits her turnaround to her mindset. She says a positive attitude has helped her perform well both on and off the course. "A positive mindset" is how she describes the key to her recent success. Simple words — but the scorecard backs them up.
Engagement and a New Niece Brighten Henderson's Year
It is not just golf that has Henderson smiling. She recently got engaged to Ricky Castro, a prospect in the Minnesota Twins baseball organization. The personal news has added joy to what is already becoming a big year, according to Mitchell Advocate.
Her sister Brittany, who has caddied for Henderson for years, gave birth to a daughter last month. The two sisters are close. Brittany carrying Henderson's bag has been a signature part of her career. A new baby in the family gives both sisters even more to celebrate heading into Edmonton.
Edmonton Crowd Ready to Cheer for Canada's Golf Star
Canadian sports fans love a home-country hero, and Henderson gives them plenty to cheer about. Edmonton will host one of the LPGA Tour's most watched events in Canada. Henderson is the face of Canadian women's golf. A third title on home soil would cement her legend even further, PRR Record Gazette reported.
Henderson has shown she can handle big moments. Her back-to-back 64s in France proved her ball-striking is sharp. Her attitude is strong. And her motivation is clear. Three Canadian Open titles would be something no Canadian golfer has done before.
