Brooke Henderson escalated her climb to a mountaintop that looks reachable to more players than ever before in the women’s game.
With her victory at the Lotte Championship last weekend, Henderson moved up to No. 7 in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings, reinvigorating her climb toward No. 1, a destination she has yet to reach but seems destined to complete as a 21-year-old who has already won eight LPGA titles, including a major.
She’s chasing the current No. 1, Jin Young Ko, who seems equipped to hold on to the top ranking for a while, though that promises to be a challenge with the women’s game appearing as difficult to dominate as it ever has.
