(Reuters) - Brooke Henderson became the third player in LPGA history to win a tour event before her 18th birthday, and she did it in style with a runaway eight-stroke victory at the Cambia Portland Classic on Sunday. The Canadian, who turns 18 on Sept. 10, closed with a comfortable three-under 69 for the largest margin of victory on the LPGA circuit this year.

She finished at 21-under 267, a tournament record at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Oregon.
