What a round! Stellar 7 under puts Smiths Falls’ Brooke Henderson into 2nd spot at Evian Championship

Smiths Falls’ Brooke Henderson was feeling confident heading in to the Amundi Evian Championship in France, the latest Major on the LPGA calendar, and it showed.

Brooke had a stellar first round ending her day alone in first place despite a late surge from American Cheyenne Knight. Once everyone came in, Brooke was tied for 2nd spot at 7 under, just one off the pace.

Brooke shot an outstanding 64 in a round that featured six birdies, an eagle and one bogey.

After bogeying her 17th hole (which was number 8 as she started on the back nine) Brooke came back to Eagle the par 5 9th hole to end the round on a confidence building high note ahead of Friday’s second round.
