PHOENIX - Brooke Henderson’s legion of followers shouted her name at just about every turn Saturday at the JTBC Founders Cup.
After the round, Henderson’s playing partner turned to her with a playful question.
“Brooke, do you think all your fans even know what my name is?” Megan Khang cracked.
Henderson laughed, because Henderson knows who Khang is. These gifted 18-year-olds knew each other before playing themselves into contention together at the Founders Cup. Khang was paired with Henderson in Canada in Henderson’s final junior event in 2014, before Henderson turned pro.
“We played a lot of events together as juniors,” Khang said.
