RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Canadian women’s amateur golf champion Brooke Henderson says she’s a little less starstruck as she prepares for her second career appearance at an LPGA Tour major event.
The 16-year-old student from Smith Falls, Ont., says she has more tour experience now than when she competed at the 2013 Women’s U.S. Open, where she finished tied for 59th.
It was her first major appearance and second career tour event.
Henderson is preparing for this week’s Kraft Nabisco Championship at Mission Hills Country Club in California.
The first major of the LPGA Tour season begins Thursday.
Henderson, the sixth-ranked women’s amateur golfer in the world, will be joined in the field by 22-year-old pro Rebecca Lee-Bentham of Richmond Hill, Ont.
