Henderson ready for Open despite car accident scare

LANCASTER, Pa. – Brooke Henderson got a scare last week when the car she was driving was broadsided the day before she was scheduled to play a Symetra Tour event in Michigan.

Henderson was treated in a hospital for bruises to her left leg and spent three days in bed recuperating, forcing her to withdraw before the Tullymore Classic.

That’s not stopping the 17-year-old Canadian phenom from trying to win the U.S. Women’s Open this week. She told GolfChannel.com before heading out for a practice round Wednesday at Lancaster Country Club that she’s ready to play.

“I’m feeling really good,” Henderson said.
