Brooke Henderson says she doesn’t resent that she had to earn her way into the LPGA ranks with a victory.
While there was a social media uproar among fans believing the 17-year-old Canadian deserved a waiver of the LPGA’s age restriction long before she won the Cambia Portland Classic last weekend, Henderson wasn’t among the discontent. She wasn’t bitter her petition for a waiver of the rule requiring members be 18 years old was denied last year, keeping her out of LPGA Q-School in December.
“I think it was probably the best thing that could have happened to me,” Henderson said Tuesday at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.
