Brooke Henderson is planning on defending her title this week at Wilshire Country Club.
Henderson’s agent told TSN’s Bob Weeks that Henderson will return to action at the DIO Implant LA Open, which begins Thursday in Los Angeles, a week after the 24-year-old Canadian withdrew from the Lotte Championship because of an unspecified illness.
Last year at Wilshire, Henderson edged Jessica Korda by a shot. Last week, Henderson opened in 2-over 74 before pulling out prior to the second round in Hawaii. She had won the Lotte twice previously, in 2018 and 2019.
Prior to last week’s WD, Henderson had opened the season with six straight top-13 finishes, including a runner-up at the season opener in Orlando, Florida.
