Teenager Hopes to Skip School, of the Golf Variety

HARRISON, N.Y. — The Henderson family experienced failure last week. Before arriving at the Manulife L.P.G.A. Classic a few hours from their home in Ontario, Brooke Henderson and her father, Dave, had talked about the goal they wanted to hit during the week. Dad is the caddie and, knowing his daughter’s game as he does, said that three under par would be ideal. Brooke agreed.

Through the first 36 holes of the event, Brooke Henderson shot three under. But last week’s cut was the lowest in tour history, and she missed it by a stroke.

“It totally caught us off guard,” Dave Henderson said.
